About Me

Meet your celebrant

I’m Kristina, a humanist celebrant based in Newtownards, Northern Ireland. After my husband and I got married in our own humanist ceremony in 2020, I knew I wanted to help other couples plan their own personal, unique weddings.

I've been a wedding celebrant since 2021, and am absolutely living the dream! I love hearing your love story, celebrating your romance and watching as you marry your best friend. I thrive on doing things your way, supporting you as you discover what your perfect wedding is, and crafting it together.

I have fifteen years' experience in training and education, which means I’m organised but flexible, professional but dynamic, and always ready for the unexpected! I’m also a writer, so I can help you with the “wordy” bits of your ceremony, including poetry, readings and vows.

In my free time I love to bake, garden, and go on adventures with my husband and two children. You'll mostly find us on forest walks, with cups of coffee or hot chocolate to hand! I also spend a lot of time curating Pinterest boards for my current obsession; previous topics have included French macarons, mermaid-themed bathrooms and, of course, my own wedding! I love to travel, and have lived in France and Spain, so if you're planning a wedding a bit further afield, or even just down the road, I'm happy to take a trip to make your day special.

About Me: About

Why Me?

I get it; making decisions about your wedding can be really stressful. You've lots of choices to make, and sometimes the options can be both exciting and overwhelming. I'm sure I'm not the first celebrant you've looked at, but I want to be the last! I can take the stress out of planning, and help you craft the ceremony of your dreams.

Here's what I can offer as your wedding celebrant.

I'm accredited by Humanists UK, so you know I'm good at what I do! They don't let just anybody be a celebrant; I've undergone high-quality training and worked really hard to be the best I can be.

I'm ridiculously organised. Even the thought of being late gives me the shivers, and everything I do has to be colour-coded. You can rest easy knowing I have everything in hand.

I'm an experienced public speaker. I've been a training facilitator for fifteen years, and spend my days speaking in front of crowds both large and small. I know public speaking can be stressful, so I will help you calm your own nerves on the big day!

I'm crafty, creative, and a bit weird. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary, then I'm your gal! I will help you explore options to make your day memorable and unique, and celebrate your weird and wonderful too!

As well as all the "official" stuff:

I only perform one wedding per day, so you know you're getting my undivided attention

I work in a way that suits you; be it face-to-face meetups, Zoom calls, emails or over the phone, I will meet you where you are, both physically and emotionally!

You want everything to be just right, and so do I! I will be just as obsessed with your wedding as you are.

If you would like to have a chat about what I can do for you, please get in touch. I’d love to hear from you!
