Hi. I’m Liz.

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

Your wedding celebrations should be built around you. They tell your story. So my job is to make your day very special. 

 

I help you to 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 or via WhatsApp video…and discuss next steps. Whatever you’d prefer.  

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 in 2018 and joined a small band of fellow celebrants here in Northern Ireland. I have married over 300 couples since then.  

My role is to act as your 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.

I’m also accredited to 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 pics from my Instagram featuring lovely couples that I’ve married.

Happy days.

Louis and Chris 🖤🖤

Dylan and Katerina - all the way from Canada, highschool sweethearts 💕 They said I do in the most romantic way in the stunning red room in beautiful Hillsborough Castle.
Surrounded by their closest family they exchanged the most heartfelt personal vows and tied the knot 🪢.

Thank you to Kim and the team at Hillsborough castle for the wonderful hospitality.

So great to see @tiffanygagephotography again 💕❤️ her photos are amazing.

Katerina wins the award for the longest bridal train this year - fabulous 😍

And finally they exited to the "Wedding g March " by Felix Mendelssohn played by Siobhan on piano, what an exit song - perfect for the surroundings.

Katerina and Dylan, I loved every minute. Lots of love and luck to you both 💕

On Wednesday I went to one of my favourite venues @hillmounthouse , such a beautiful place 💞 to conduct the intimate ceremony of Lee and Karolina. I felt so privileged to be part of it. The ceremony took place in the drawing room , surrounded by the most gorgeous flowers by @victorianafloralartistry .
Later they dined in the same room at the most gorgeous table setting.

Big weddings , little weddings , they are all different, they are all wonderful in their own way.
Lee and Karolina yours was perfect - your wedding your way. 💕 A life time of happiness to you both

🏘️@hillmounthouse - as always the best 💞 warmest welcome

📷@clionaohanlonphotography - a 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 💞 - a bridal first for me .

Giles and Ileagh a life time of happiness, just keep on doing what you`re doing 💗💞

Ash & Lauren got married in Lusty Beg on Saturday. 💞

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.💞😍

Ash and Lauren have a wonderful life together 💞
