They say that true love is the greatest adventure and I'm so happy that I get to join in on the ride! Marrying couples, getting to know them and be a part of their adventure as a Humanist Celebrant is a total joy and a privilege.
I've worked in theatre and television as an actress, voice over artist and public speaker for 30 years. As an actress my career has been all about telling other people’s stories. As a celebrant, I use this skill and experience to bring your love story to life, creating a bespoke ceremony that is deeply personal, delivered with authenticity, warmth and a little bit of craic!
I can make the process of planning your dream wedding easy and stress free. I take care of the detail by incorporating all your funny anecdotes, cherished songs or romantic readings with space to honour your families & friends into your bespoke ceremony.
No two life journeys are the same. No two couples are the same. And no two ceremonies by me are the same.
Every ceremony I craft is different, designed to capture your personalities and values with YOUR love story at its heart.

Hi, I'm Allie...
What makes a Humanist Wedding special?
A Humanist ceremony is written especially for you, to reflect your values and personal journey, and the vows you want to promise each other. Your ceremony is unique because it has YOUR story at its heart. And how could that not be the most special, meaningful wedding ceremony? One that you (and your guests!) will never forget!
Is a Humanist Wedding legal?
Yes! As a Humanist Celebrant & member of the Humanist Society NI, I am fully authorised by GRONI to conduct legally binding marriage ceremonies in Northern Ireland.
Where can I have my Humanist wedding ceremony?
Almost anywhere! Be it a forest, beach or mountain, your family’s garden or a museum – if it makes your heart happy, then I can marry you there.
What does a Humanist Ceremony involve?
Well, that depends entirely on you! Whatever your vibe, my aim is to bring your love story to life, through words, music, poetry or any other creative ways you can dream up. And don't worry, I have plenty of ideas to inspire if you feel overwhelmed. My job is to shape the ceremony by getting to know you, to invest in your story and understand exactly what your ideal wedding looks like. Often we focus on the reception or all the aesthetic details, but your ceremony is the absolute heart of your day, setting the tone for your marriage celebrations. And isn't it great to think that your ceremony can reflect exactly who you are in a truly meaningful way?

Kind words...
"Allie met with us before our ceremony to get to know us first. By the day of the ceremony the full wedding party felt like she was our friend. She prepared a beautiful personalised ceremony, unique to us as a couple. Her beautiful loving energy just radiated through the room. Not only our guests, but the photographer, videographer and musicians were blown away.
It was honestly our favourite part of the whole day!! We will never forget it! Thank you Allie xx "

"What can I say about Allie? She was the perfect celebrant. We didn't know what to expect but Allie guided us through the whole process, making suggestions and giving us advice. She made the whole experience effortless and we can't thank her enough."
