Rachael Meyer is a full-time humanist wedding celebrant, writing and delivering highly personalised, non-religious wedding ceremonies in Newcastle Upon Tyne, along the North Tyneside Coast, and throughout Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire. Smiley, calm, friendly and flexible, she's a professional writer who will bring your story and your ceremony to life and kick off your party in a way that's totally "you", with plenty of emotion, romance and gentle humour.

Having just moved from her home town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire to the fabulous city of Newcastle Upon Tyne; Rachael is very excited about working at venues across the North East as well as in Yorkshire in 2025 and 2026. Rachael has delivered over 150 completely unique wedding ceremonies around Harrogate and the Yorkshire Dales within the last 6 years and is recommended by couples, venues, musicians, photographers, videographers and wedding planners for her classic but unique storytelling ability, engaging presentation style, friendly, calming influence and professionalism. She is fully booked in 2024, and has limited availability in 2025. Books for 2026 are now open!

Rachael is part of a network of Humanist celebrants who undergo regular quality checks and CPD. She is also a mentor with Humanist Ceremonies (Humanists UK) for celebrant trainees. Throughout her career, she has worked as a professional writer, a global event manager, and a wedding and commercial photographer. As a wedding celebrant, she works with couples who live locally, throughout the UK and all over the world. She specialises in multicultural ceremonies, and ceremonies that incorporate live music, dogs, kids and other components that make full use of her ideas, event management and people skills .

Your ceremony can be anything you want it to be. No two of Rachael's ceremonies are the same. But they are all fuelled by storytelling, feelings, love and celebration - not religion, legal jargon or contractual words. Whether you are young, old, straight, gay, lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer or anything in between and whether this is your first, second or third wedding, couples with any backstory, cultural heritage, ethnicity and spiritual belief will enjoy a creative, meaningful and beautiful, but relaxed and fun-filled wedding ceremony.

Her style is classic, with a creative twist that, encompassing a well written story about you and your journey, will delight and engage your guests. She will meet with you, find out about your journey, come up with a load of inspiration, guidance and advice for your ceremony content; write your story, create the perfect wedding ceremony script, work with your suppliers; and she will bring it to life on the day with flair, confidence and personality. You and your guests will love, and remember your wedding ceremony forever.

Her portable PA system is available free of charge, for outdoor weddings, barn weddings, beach weddings, and other unusual venues.
