Hi, I'm Meg
Hi! I officiate bespoke wedding & family celebrations for couples across Yorkshire and the North East but I travel everywhere! My business was created when my friends asked me for a favour during the pandemic!
I treat all of my couples the same way I treat my friends and family. We work together & get to know each other, to create a ceremony which is truly personal and suits their personalities and tone for their big day.
My number one policy is to LISTEN. I do give advice and ideas but I also listen to your worries, out of the box ideas and ultimately what YOU want your ceremony to be. I want my couples to be comfortable with me and to look forward to their wedding ceremony knowing everything is in hand!
I also offer Vow Writing and Personalised Poetry! A favourite amongst my couples!
What's my ceremony style?
I enjoy a relaxed ceremony which simply, yet beautifully, tells your story. The perfect amount of love and laughter throughout with details of how you met and dreams for the future as well as subtle humorous tails.
However, I am not afraid of a flash mob or a themed outfit either.
Overall, my greatest strength is my poetry, which my clients can use during the ceremony. This is a special way to remind your guests of your journey so far as a couple.
I love playing around with words and looking at their meanings.
For example: the name ‘Meg’ comes from the Greek origins meaning “pearl” so here are my pearls of wisdom…. choose personality over legality, a celebrant ceremony is a real representation of your love.
I’m ready to write your story.

Why choose Meg?
I am a people person, I enjoy talking to people from all different walks of life and having a good natter! I am really looking forward to meeting all my future clients and getting to know you all on a personal level, so that I can write ceremonies with your personalities and interests in mind.
All you need to do is be yourselves and I’ll do the rest!
As well as getting a celebrant, you will get a friend, who you can turn to when you need any event advice.
I am passionate about making my ceremonies as personal as possible, even down to the finer details. I have invested in a few craft machines and printers to help make any extra ceremony props we require (e.g. vow cards, parchment & special elements) and also offer my couples a wedding stationery service via my other business ‘The Ink and Foil Studio’.
What do I offer?

Weddings
If you’re pretty chilled and are looking for a relaxed approach to ceremony planning, whilst also having fun along the way, we’ll get on like a house on fire!
I love nothing more than a couple who let me into their world and are open to suggestions so I can write something truly unique. I also like it when my couples think outside the box and take full advantage of having a celebrant-led ceremony. It helps when my couples are fully involved in the process with me, from initial meeting to couples quizzes to your wedding day, we’re in this together!
My favourite ceremony type is probably a barn wedding or a country hotel with personalised poems, guest involvement and funny tales. I do enjoy symbolic elements but never push couples into choosing these (as I know my own husband wouldn’t like it them).

Meetings to discuss your thoughts, ideas and plans for your wedding day (zoom, home or cocktails are good for me!)
You will be provided with Meg’s ‘couples quiz’ so I can learn more details of your story & wedding plans.

Why choose Meg for your wedding?
I hate blowing my own trumpet but…
I LOVE THIS WORK!!
From the moment I get an enquiry, I can’t wait to meet new couples and get started planning their ceremony.
I have a chilled approach to creating fabulous ceremonies but I’m also VERY organised.
My friends call me the smiling assassin, as I’m always smiley and have an ‘infectious’ laugh… I feel like that’s the type of vibe you need for a ceremony! Someone who’s upbeat and ready to chat to your guests and get them involved in the amazing day you’ve planned!

Naming Ceremonies
Your little bundle of joy,
has finally arrived.
It’s even more magical
Than people had described.
A new member of the family,
you’ll be beaming with pride.
Been waiting for nine months,
the bond has now been tied.
The birth of a child is such a special occasion,
why not organise a naming celebration!?
Naming ceremonies are so lovely, they can be used to introduce your child to the rest of their family and community. You can even select ‘life guides’ to make promises to your child during the ceremony. It’s fantastic to get as many people involved in the ceremony as you feel comfortable. People in the past have often encouraged older siblings to take part in the ceremony e.g. hand prints, sand ceremonies. Readings can be included also- the sky’s the limit!
These ceremonies can create precious memories for you and your family- let’s get started! Get in contact for more information!
Prices start from £350 and includes:
A meeting with me over zoom to get know each other and your plans for your little one’s naming day!
A ‘Family quiz’ to learn even more about your family’s story.
I will get to work writing your personalised naming ceremony, I will send drafts for your to make comments. It’s a team effort!
I include any vow cards & reading cards within the price.
Help and advice for parent vows, symbolic elements and reading choices.
I will be there on the day to officiate the ceremony, arrival no later than 1 hour before.
A copy of your ceremony script will be created as a keepsake.
Unlimited contact! Catch me on my mobile/email/video call.
Special Elements e.g. sand ceremonies, ribbon ceremonies can be discussed & explained at the initial meeting.

Why choose Meg for your naming ceremony?
The joy of a having a new addition to the family is so incredible, I love being part of such a significant day in a families history.
I like being creative and making my scripts engaging, for all ages to enjoy. As a naming celebrant, I will meet your family, get to know you and write a script to fit your desires for the day. A naming or welcoming ceremony can be done at any location you choose. Special elements, readings and music can be discussed. I am happy to dress to fit your theme (especially Disney hint hint).


Renewal of Vows
Let’s do it all again! Planning a vow renewal? I’d love to hear from you. I officiate ceremonies in Yorkshire and the North East but I’m always happy to travel!
If you’re a chilled couple, who are up for a celebration, I feel we’ll get on. A vow renewal is such a special moment, whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, overcoming a hardship in life or you just fancy getting the family together… I’m ready to help you create a ceremony which is fun, memorable and engaging.
Whether you’re renewing your vows in a castle or your back garden, I’d love to be involved and tell your story! I always think it’s lovely, during vow renewals, to get family members involved, whether it’s a reading, singalong or symbolic element… it just adds that extra special touch!
Personalised poems are always a special addition to a vow renewal!

Where do I even begin…
Where do I even begin to express how grateful I am to have found meg?! A few years ago, I was lucky enough to be the wedding photographer at the first ever wedding Meg was the celebrant for… and from that moment, I knew that when it came to my own wedding – I would want Meg to be the one to conduct it! I have since worked with meg on numerous occasions and each and every ceremony she performs is so personal and special! On my own wedding day, she was her usual, bubbly and incredible self… and in the space of a 30 minute ceremony, she made me laugh, cry, and fall in love with the amazing job she does all over again! We couldn’t have wished for a better ceremony and that is all down to this amazing lady! Thankyou, Mr & Mrs Sloan x

Beautiful Ceremony
Recently went to a wedding where Meg was the celebrant, amazing ceremony with a perfect modern touch! Would definitely recommend.
Unforgettable Wedding Ceremony with Meg Stanier: A 5-Star Celebration
We had the absolute pleasure of having Meg Stanier as our celebrant for our wedding ceremony, and I can’t praise her enough. Meg truly went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From the moment we first met her, it was evident that she was the perfect fit for us.
Meg’s dedication to creating a personalised and meaningful ceremony was outstanding. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, our love story, and our values, which she beautifully incorporated into the service. Her attention to detail and her ability to craft a ceremony that reflected our personalities was truly remarkable.
What sets Meg apart is her exceptional responsiveness and ease of communication. She was always just a call or message away, making the entire planning process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Her warm and friendly personality made us feel incredibly comfortable working with her, and we felt like she was not just our celebrant but also a friend.
Our wedding ceremony was nothing short of magical, thanks to Meg’s hard work and dedication. We received numerous compliments from our guests on the lovely and personal ceremony she created. Meg’s professionalism, bubbly personality, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make her a truly stand out.
If you’re looking for a celebrant who will go the extra mile to make your wedding ceremony a unique and unforgettable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Meg Stanier. She is a five-star celebrant in every sense of the word, and we are forever grateful for the beautiful memories she helped us create on our special day. Thank you, Meg!
