Doug Duckworth Humanist Ceremonies

One of the things I love about being a celebrant is visiting venues for the first time and yesterday I had my first trip to Langar Hall set in its own beautiful grounds just 12 miles outside Nottingham. I spent a fascinating hour meeting the groom’s family and being shown round the interior, which feels like a cross between a much-loved family home and a bohemian Soho club. Can’t wait to go back there at the end of April.

It was such a joy to meet with Marco and Giulia at their home in London at the weekend to plan their English-Italian wedding ceremony at the beautiful Tudor Barn in Eltham. They are both from Italy and both work in hospitality so an excellent lunch was of course on the agenda! I really love working on bi-lingual ceremonies because they provide a rare opportunity to get guests together from different cultures and with different languages and give them an experience they can all share and understand.

Most of my time as a celebrant doesn’t feel like work and that was definitely the case yesterday when I motorcycled into the Peak District on a sunny afternoon to see Alice and Max for a ceremony planning meeting. It was lovely to meet them, Lin, Winnie and Ezra. We talked of many things and I discovered just how good a chocolate chip cookie can taste with the addition of Maldon smoked sea salt!
