humanist wedding
Conor & Anushka
Stanley Arts, London - October 2022
"Dan was an amazing celebrant, handling us being chaotic & barely getting everything ready in time like a professional. He was more than willing to integrate Hindu traditions into our wedding, which I understand is quite unusual for Humanist celebrants. The whole ceremony was beautiful, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dan!"

"Thank you to Daniel Glastonbury for writing a beautiful ceremony for us. The questionnaire was a really quick and easy way for him to get to know us individually and as a couple, and made the ceremony so personal. We got several comments saying what a lovely service it was!"

Aswarby Rectory, Sleaford - April 2022
"We just wanted to say a massive thank you for the ceremony. It was amazing, and a great way to set the tone for the day. So many people commented on how great you were and I think many will now opt for a humanist ceremony which is blooming brilliant!! You got across our love story perfectly and knew how to work the room! I apologise we were a little late starting, we lost the man of honour's trousers!!!! All the best and thanks again!"

Daniel was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process of our wedding. From early planning, he took the time to get to know us and learn about our story before trying to create a ceremony. This obviously meant that what was delivered was exceptionally personal. Many of our guests remarked on how touching the ceremony was - with even some of our more romance-cynical guests tearing up. He had a wonderful character as a celebrant that was warm and humorous, but also held gravity and celebrated the seriousness of the commitment whilst celebrating the relationship. We could not recommend him more highly as we know he has excellent range and could deliver something personal for any couple that would really help make their day magical. Dan is very open-minded when it comes to creative ways to tie the knot - he's great at the traditional ceremony elements, but was also delighted when we suggested incorporating a ceremonial fire lighting into our ceremony and helped us write alternative non-religious vows for one another when we exchanged rings that were very meaningful and emotional for us. Thank you Dan!

Daniel was absolutely perfect for our ceremony. We couldn't have asked for anything more fitting and personal. It really set up the whole tone of the day. Everyone there kept saying how they have never been to a ceremony so tailored to the couple. Many thought Daniel was an old friend with how well it was written. The rum ceremony went down a treat! Thank you!

Penrith, Cumbria - August 2017
Daniel gave us a fantastic ceremony in the Cumbrian rain within the Long Meg Stone Circle. We thought he really captured our feelings for each other in a very heartwarming service. The weather wasn't perfect, but his light hearted and beautiful ceremony was. We'd get married with him again if we could. Top man!

Rothely Court Hotel, Leicester - November 2017
Dan and Emily really were the perfect team. They were professional and well organised from the start. Daniel's wedding service was so warm and well put together, everyone thought it was the best one they had ever been to! Emily was also great, very easy to have around and made what was a very stressful morning that little bit better, haha. Her photos were beautiful and we felt very comfortable throughout the day. We could not recommend these two more, they were truly amazing and our day just wouldn't have been the same without them. Thanks so much guys

David & Natalie
Norton Grange, Rochdale - March 2017
We had Daniel do our ceremony for our wedding on Friday. I can't thank him enough for it. It involved stories about us and our friends. Everyone keeps telling us how much they enjoyed it. It included a reading from "Oh, the Places You'll Go" by the big man himself Dr. Suess as well as a reference to John Cena. It really was a very wonderful ceremony that reflected us perfectly. Thank you for creating such a perfect moment!

Hallmark Hotel, Wilmslow - July 2017
Daniel helped us craft a very personal and memorable wedding ceremony. It included a variety of non-religious but symbolic gestures and rituals which made a nice change from the usual format everyone is used to. We received lots of compliments on Daniel's behalf, especially for his genuine and confident style. Thank you so much!

Cheshire - July 2017
Dan was our celebrant in 2017. He performed an utterly wonderful humanist ceremony. Dan put in a huge amount of effort to ensure we had a ceremony that reflected our beliefs and what was important to us. Our guests pretty much all told us in the that the ceremony was the best they had seen, because it was so unique & personal to us. We would both happily (and noisily) recommend Dan to any one thinking about having a humanist ceremony. The effort he put in to meet our requests was exceptional, and he was brilliant fun on the day. Thank you so much Dan!

The whole experience with Emily and Dan was so wonderful from the start. They immediately made us feel at ease. It's not every day you get married or go through the motions to get to that day, and they helped guide us to what we wanted. I had every faith that they would deliver us a fantastic experience for our wedding day. Emily was fantastic the whole day. We love the photos, and feed back from our friends and family are all how happy we look and how the whole day was captured and was like reliving it. We love our photos. Thank you so much!

Glastonbury, June 2015
Dan & Emily are the perfect couple to arrange any perfect wedding day, especially if you’d like something a little outside the box! I handed the reins to them both & sat back to watch the magic unfold…. It was the most amazing, intimate yet fun filled ceremony that we could have imagined. From the bouquet to the beautiful reading via the flash mob invite party with the New York Brass Band, if you want a wedding you couldn’t even dream of, it can be done. Thank you guys with all our love, Mr & Mrs Cartwright.

Tom & Katie
Brighton Pavillion, March 2015
Emily and Dan made our day look perfect! As a bride who had very few plans and ideas on how things should look you were so helpful in enabling me to make some decisions. You led me through every step of the process, which was exactly what I needed. And the end result was absolutely perfect. Thank you so very much. You made our day look as special as it felt. You provided us with flowers for the bride and bridesmaids and buttonholes for the groom/grooms men, table decorations, an amazing peep-hole board, set-up and photography. The communication was brilliant. Emily was there every step of the way with answers to all my little questions. And she was accommodating of every suggestion we made. We had an idea of what everything would look like on the day. But everything exceeded our expectations. The final look was exactly what we had wanted and better. It definitely matched up to the research and drawn designs. The beautifully framed designs and some of the boats are on display in our flat along with an album of photos from the day. We would most definitely recommend Siren and Sailor to anybody planning a wedding! Thank you so much! Love Mrs and Mrs Lawson x

Sue & Nick
Stanneylands Hotel, Cheshire - December 2016
We booked Daniel to conduct a humanist ceremony in the UK with extended family and friends as we had been married abroad a few weeks previously and we were thrilled with it. We met up with Daniel a couple of months before the wedding so he could get to know our relationship a little and to hear about how we met in order to tailor our service. It was this personal touch and attention to detail that allowed Daniel to write a beautiful script for our ceremony which everybody enjoyed. Thank you Daniel for your care and consideration, helping to create a wonderful day in our lives.

Would highly recommend the team of Daniel & Emily to make sure you have everlasting memories of your special day.
They are friendly, punctual, patient, courteous, thoughtful & highly professional & fun to be around. They took my pictures from the start of getting ready until we got to the reception. Daniel was outstanding not only with his camermanship but with the help he gave in occupying our 5 year old while we were getting ready. And is an awesome Doorman ( the hotel room was like a fairground ) Emily again showed outstanding Camermanship and was there when I had dress malfunctions, needed a make up artist & even got me into my dress & helped to dress the children. I never thought I would be able to stay calm & stress free on my wedding day but with their help I felt no stress at all. They went above and beyond the role of photographer & I would have to say again if you are looking for your big day to be memorable and stressless you really should give them a call!
