Hello – And Welcome!

I am Chris Howell, an independent celebrant based in Chertsey, Surrey.  I am deeply passionate about crafting unique and heartfelt ceremonies that truly reflect you and your story. Whether you are celebrating love, welcoming new life, or saying a final farewell, I am here to ensure your ceremony is meaningful, personal and memorable.

All of life’s biggest moments deserve to be marked in a way that is special to you and your loved ones. That’s why I take the time to get to know you, to listen to your stories and to create a ceremony that captures the essence of the people you are celebrating. Whether you prefer a traditional or unconventional approach, religious or non-religious elements, I will work with you to design a ceremony that feels right for you.

It’s a genuine privilege to be part of these meaningful moments, and I would be honoured to craft a bespoke ceremony that becomes a lasting and cherished memory.

Ceremonies

From weddings, vow renewals, and naming ceremonies to funerals, celebrations of life and memorials, I offer bespoke ceremonies tailored to your wishes. No two ceremonies are the same because no two stories are the same. You are in control, and together, we will create a ceremony that is as unique as you are.

Let’s create something truly special together. Contact me for a free, no obligation chat – I’d love to hear your story!

"You created such a real sense of occasion, nothing overstated or performative, just genuine connection and celebration."

Why Choose A Celebrant-led Wedding?

Choosing a celebrant-led ceremony gives you the freedom to celebrate your life event exactly as you wish. Every detail is tailored to reflect who you are. It’s a beautiful way to include a mix of faiths, beliefs or personal values – whatever you feel is right.

There are no rules or restrictions—you're in control of every element, ensuring a ceremony that’s truly unique to you.

Did you know that celebrant-led ceremonies don’t need to take place in licensed venues?  This opens up a world of opportunities!




“Where Do I Work?”

I am based in Chertsey, Surrey, I have access to some of the most beautiful locations for your special day. However, I am happy to travel anywhere in the UK or beyond to deliver the perfect ceremony for you.
