Ceremonies by Simon

At Ceremonies by Simon, I specialise in creating personalised and heartfelt wedding ceremonies and vow renewals that reflect your unique journey together. Based in the picturesque town of Thirsk, North Yorkshire, I offer my services not just locally but throughout the UK. As a professional celebrant, my mission is simple – to ensure your wedding day is everything you've dreamed of and more.

Further Info

What sets Ceremonies by Simon apart from traditional wedding ceremonies is my personal and bespoke approach. Unlike a registrar-led ceremony, which can feel somewhat scripted and generic, my services focus entirely on you. Your love story, your personalities, and your shared experiences are at the heart of the ceremony I create. I don't just write scripts; I craft moments. Whether it’s a grand celebration or a small intimate gathering, I work closely with you to ensure the ceremony is memorable, meaningful, and truly one-of-a-kind.


I believe that every couple deserves a ceremony that encapsulates their relationship’s essence. From the challenges you've faced to the moments of pure joy, I ensure that every detail of your journey together is woven into a ceremony filled with warmth, emotion, and love. The result is an occasion not only celebrated by you but cherished by your family and guests long after the day has passed.


When you choose Ceremonies by Simon, I make a promise: to design and deliver a wedding or vow renewal ceremony that exceeds your expectations. My ceremonies are not just beautiful, but they are also rich with meaning, providing exceptional value. I pride myself on creating ceremonies that leave lasting impressions. Every couple I work with receives my undivided attention, and I dedicate myself to ensuring that your ceremony becomes one of the most talked-about elements of your special day.


You are my priority. From our first conversation to the final moments of your ceremony, I take the time to truly listen and understand your vision. I offer creative ideas, suggestions, and guidance to help you make informed decisions every step of the way. If you're looking for a celebrant who brings humour, warmth, and integrity to your wedding, you've found your match.

John & Michelle – Wedding on top of Sutton Bank - June 2024

“Simon is certainly open to doing all types of Weddings. We set Simon a huge challenge. We wanted our Wedding Ceremony to be very informal and far from the usual type of Wedding. We wanted to get married at the top of Sutton Bank overlooking Lake Gormire. This was to be organised of a timescale of about 3 months. The communication was great throughout, with messages and meetings so he could get all the information as to what we wanted and to find out about us as a couple. Simon went out of his way to make the most amazing Wedding arch with flowers that matched our theme. It was very beautiful. On the day due to no fault of Simon - it was the wind! there was the odd hiccup! but Simon managed to hold it together very well. We knew we were in good hands. We loved our unique, funny, relaxed Wedding Ceremony so much, just how we wanted it. Thank you so much Simon for helping to make our day very special, with never forgotten amazing memories. Love John & Michelle”

Chris & Claire – Vow Renewal Crab & Lobster Asenby Thirsk – September 2024

“We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect celebrant than Simon for our vow renewal and 20-year anniversary celebration. From the start, Simon was warm, attentive, and truly invested in making the ceremony personal and memorable. He captured the essence of our journey together over the past two decades, weaving our story into a beautiful ceremony. Thank you, Simon, for making our day everything we had hoped it would be.”
