What Couples Are Saying
“Neither of us had ever been to a humanist ceremony, but, having heard about them a few years ago, we knew it was the sort of thing we’d both love. We are so unbelievably thankful that we found Billy, our celebrant. He helped us create a wedding ceremony that I can honestly say took our breath away. He included so many personal elements to our day, and we both feel so fortunate that we had a ceremony like that.”
