LizPeel – Humanist Celebrant

Hi. I’m Liz.

I’m Liz Peel and I’m a Humanists UK approved and accredited celebrant based in Northern Ireland.

Humanist celebrations are built around you. They tell your story.

Β 

We’re not confined by religion.Β  So we describe your relationship – in the way that you want – to the people who care about you both on your wedding day.

And if wee ones are part of your plans we can celebrate the naming of your children in the best way: with friends, family and love.

I’m Liz and I’m here to help you celebrate the way you want.

Love at the Centre

Love is what we celebrate at a humanist wedding or a child’s naming ceremony. And I’ll help you celebrate.

If you’re getting married the great news is that I now perform legal wedding ceremonies – following a recent change in the law in Northern Ireland. See my FAQ for more information.

I’m here to help you and your friends and family to have a wonderful day – with your story at the centre of it.

Where you Want

As a humanist celebrant I focus on celebration of your union or new arrival – in front of those you love. It’s up to you to choose the place. Wherever you choose you can be sure that happiness will be the main theme.

Next Steps…

It’s simple. Just call me or email me and we can get together for a cuppa or glass of wine…and discuss next steps.Β Get in touch…

A bit about me…

Hello, I’m Liz

I have been married for over 25 years. I have two wonderful grown-up children (who have now flown the nest). I live in Northern Ireland with my husband, Jeff. I’ve two cats…Lily and Lola.

Here I am with Kyle and Tori at the Wool Tower, Broughshane (August 2023)

I became a Humanist celebrant a few years ago and joined a small band of fellow celebrants here in Northern Ireland.

It’s long been my view that, increasingly, couples don’t want religion to be centre-stage on their wedding day. Instead, they want the focus to be on their love and relationship and family bonds.

My role is to act as the celebrant – providing you with the structure, words and emotional engagement that’ll make your day very special and memorable for you and and your guests. And, since the recent change in the law, I can also legally marry you as well – there’s no longer a need for separate registry office proceedings. In short, my aim is to ensure a lovely, memorable day designed around the two of you.

Feed of Love

Here are a few picks from my Instagram featuring lovely couples that I’ve married. Happy days.

Just over a week ago Shannon married Shane and Shane married Shannon πŸ’ž
The fabulous new ceremony room at @the_wool_tower was perfect for this wonderful day.
Quinn πŸ•πŸΎtheir gorgeous Golden Retriever bounded up the aisle, all by himself to sit by his two favourite people πŸ˜πŸ’ž.
It was a perfect day .

Loved the little touches, the cake with the little Quinn having a nibble - just perfect πŸ’žπŸ₯Ή

Shannon and Shane love long and prosper, it was an absolute pleasure.

Last week Giles and Ileagh got married in front of their nearest and dearest at the lovely @killyhevlin.
They drank from the Quaich and everyone else had a wee dram ( sure it would be rude not too 😁) to toast the very happy couple.
The beautiful Ileagh wrote her own poem and read it during the ceremony- wonderful πŸ’ž - a bridal first for me .

Giles and Ileagh a life time of happiness, just keep on doing what you`re doing πŸ’—πŸ’ž

Ash & Lauren got married in Lusty Beg on Saturday. πŸ’ž

This wedding was all about family. The four of them, in the fabulous first photo from @littlebigphotographyni, reflecting the mood of the entire day.
Little Ava draped four ribbons over mum and dad`s joined hands in a hand fastening ceremony, creating a tied knot representing each one of them.

Such a pleasure to be there and witness this beautiful family ceremony.

Personal readings were given by little Ava and her little cousin Annabelle, the two of them were absolutely brilliant.πŸ’žπŸ˜

Ash and Lauren have a wonderful life together πŸ’ž

Back to the absolutely fabulous @hillmounthouse for the naming ceremony for little Rudi Mark Anthony. πŸ’• What a little dote sitting on his proud parents laps Gareth and Megan. Such a lovely family day with a big roaring fire to keep everyone warm, the perfect setting.

Little Rudi, I wish you health happiness and all that is good in life.
You are an absolute charmer πŸ₯°πŸ˜˜

Naming ceremonies are such a
lovely way to officially introduce your baby ( no matter what age 😜 ) to all the family and friends and have a good old party πŸŽ‰ πŸ₯³ in the process. Love them πŸ’•
