HEART-WARMING CEREMONIES FOR HAPPY DAYS!
Laura Gimson Ceremonies
Hello! I'm Laura; celebrant extraordinaire, serial wedding obsessive and first ever winner of 'BEST CELEBRANT' at the UK Wedding Awards! Thanks so much for stopping by. More importantly, congratulations on your engagement!
So...how does it feel? Are you relishing the opportunity to plan every last detail of your big celebration? Or are you up to your eyeballs in wed-min and ready to run for the hills?! Either way, you're in safe hands here.
Since training with Humanists UK in 2016, I’ve been writing and conducting weddings which celebrate the little details that make each and every couple so gloriously unique. I'm on a mission to disprove the myth that ceremonies have to be dull, dry and devoid of personality. What a wasted opportunity! A truly brilliant ceremony will have people laughing one minute, crying the next and leaving on an absolute high.
Every wedding is a collaboration, so we’ll work together to create a ceremony which feels totally honest and authentic. That’s not to say you need all the answers. My job is to be your expert guide - to unpick your story and tease out a plan which feels like the perfect fit.
Your wedding is written to reflect you and your relationship – no templates, no gold, silver or bronze package options, just your own little love story.
Areas Covered
I'm based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire and cover ceremonies anywhere up to an hour away. Plus, having spent 10 happy years in London, I'm always excited to pop back for a wedding in the big city.

Best wedding decision we made
In the preparations, Laura was genuinely invested in the story of our relationship, and the time she spent with us was translated into a personal, tailored ceremony that fully reflected our character. While she was conscious of when we were nervous or unsure, she always encouraged us to be bold, suggesting a few touches that truly made the occasion.
In summary, Laura's a professional, a lovely person and a creator of gentle wedding magic!

The highlight of our wedding day
From the very first video we watched of Laura, we knew she was perfect for us. We reached out and were blown away even more by the way she spoke and how she carried herself. Her kind and inviting nature was exactly what we needed, especially during the stressful planning stages of our wedding. We met with Laura for a coffee to talk about our story. We had planned to be there for a couple hours and it ended up being four! It was an amazing experience, talking to someone who listened so intently and who asked all the right questions.
We received the first draft our Laura's speech, which she built off the back of our coffee chat. Myself and my partner, Jess, couldn't stop reading it! We laughed, we cried, and everything in between. It was perfect.
On the week of the wedding, my nerves were particularly high. Laura suggested a call to run through the day one last time and to settle my nerves (mainly around my speech!). She helped me so much in the build up to my speech, I honestly don't think I could have done it without her.
On the day of the wedding she was the calming presence we needed. She arrived early and greeted me with a big hug and smile, held my arm and settled my nerves before ding the same with Jess as she got ready
The ceremony felt like a fairy tale. It was by far the best part of the day. Although we had incredible suppliers; food, 6 piece band, pianist, singer, even a saxophone... Laura was the best and most memorable. All of our guests have since sent messages, mainly commenting on the ceremony above all else!
If you're on the fence about whether to use Laura as your celebrant, please take this review as a sign to say - just go for it! I promise you wont look back. We had the entire ceremony recorded so we can relive that moment over and over again.
One note to make - we were hesitant regarding the legal element. We were unsure on how we would feel about getting legally married prior to the big day. However, we decided to treat the legal bit like any other day. No fuss. We both took an hour out of our work day, went with two friends (as witnesses) and got the job done with zero emotion, knowing that the wedding day would be the real deal. It worked perfectly.
Thank you Laura, for everything. You captured our story better than we ever could, and you shared it with our loved ones in the most powerful and uplifting way. You really do have a special gift.
Thank you
Jon & Jess McCance-Kirby

We feel so lucky to have found Laura
We had no idea what we wanted when we first spoke to Laura, and it was the aspect of planning the day I was most nervous about. Right from the start of us working together Laura made the process enjoyable and fun, and I felt less stressed as soon as we spoke. The first draft of the ceremony was almost perfect and we only made a few tiny changes - we were so impressed that she'd taken in a huge amount of information from us and managed to capture our story and our thoughts so well.
On the day Laura was warm and funny, and made everyone feel at ease and part of the ceremony. I can barely remember most wedding ceremonies I've been to, but guest are still talking about ours. Everyone, even people we don't know as well (partners of friends etc) enjoyed it, which is what we really wanted.
Considering how much it costs to book a registrar to come to a venue, Laura is great value. I'd say it was the best investment we made and made our wedding really special and unique.

The ceremony of our dreams
Itwas perfect, better than we ever could have imagined, and when Laura conducted it on our wedding day it was even more special. She made us feel calm on the wedding morning and engaged each one of our guests with the ceremony. We had so many comments about how real, honest and joyful our ceremony was - all down to Laura. We were so so pleased we decided to have Laura conduct our ceremony and we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Laura!!!

That best part of our day!
Phil & Karen, Sept 2023
Laura's preparation was meticulous, and it really showed - she'd taken the time to get to know us and our story, and the tone she helped to set with the reading was perfect for us, our guests and our setting. All the small details were tended to, but with a healthy degree of flexibility - our wish for the weekend was a relaxed, informal, fun style and the ceremony itself fitted in seamlessly thanks to Laura.
If we could give more than 5* as a recommendation we would, Laura was the perfect celebrant to make the ceremony such a lovely part of a fabulous weekend.

Incredible
The best part of our wedding!
We cannot recommend Laura more highly.
The most special part of our day
Our dream celebrant!
Our top priority was to fill our wedding day with fun, and we knew from our first conversation that she was the perfect choice for our ceremony.
After our first call, we met Laura at a local pub for a very enjoyable planning session and it felt like she got to know us so well. When she sent us the first draft of the ceremony just a few weeks later, we were absolutely blown away! She had captured everything we discussed so perfectly and also came up with so many creative and hilarious ways to make our ceremony unique to us!
So we then went into our ceremony with very high expectations and Laura absolutely surpassed them all! It was a joy to have her there and her ceremony set the tone for the whole day. In fact, our guests were talking about the ceremony (and Laura!) all day and even now, weeks later.
Booking Laura was one of the best and easiest decisions we made. Not only did she help make our day so special, but we also have her ceremony script, which tells our story so beautifully, to treasure forever. We really can’t thank Laura enough!
Thank you so much, Laura!
