Unique venue, unreal vendors (if we do say so ourselves 💅)

Excited to set up shop at this Sunday to talk all things humanist ceremonies with, frankly, anyone who’ll listen!

If you’re still on the hunt for that unconventional city centre venue, this is a great opportunity to have a nosy round one of the least traditional and most memorable wedding venues in NI. have gathered some class suppliers to flaunt their wares so whether you’re at the early stages of planning or just have a few more perfect vendor matches yet to make, come on down and have a chat and maybe ‘lock in’ a few more fab choices for your big day (urgh sorry, couldn’t resist)

See you this Sunday from 1-4pm - oh, and it’s free in! Result!

Are you speaking my language?

Here’s what’s getting me all a flutter these days…this and my husband saying, “I did the hoovering while you were out.” SWOON 😍

Happy Valentine’s Day lovers 💕

And if you find this Hallmark holiday a bit meh, watch some videos of people passing out on rollercoasters. That’s a universal love language to enjoy all year round xoxo

Anyone unecessarily panicking my nearlyweds shall be sentenced to ONE RANTY REEL

Jk, I know this person meant well 😘

Just a friendly reminder to wedding suppliers that if you do ever have any genuine concerns on behalf of your couple, please reach out to the other professionals they’re working for clarity. Planning a wedding can be an emotional time, but we can lead the way in holding stress free spaces for our lovers and communicating calmly always.

I’m still super stoked to work at this venue for the first time and I KNOW it’s gonna be a humanist ceremony to remember (and they’re gonna be so legally married it’s unreal) ❤️

Do you believe in love at first sight…?

If you’d asked groom Simon five years ago, I think the answer might have been something like, “Aye, dead on!”

Ask him now, and he’d tell you his life was turned upside down the instant he laid eyes on Andrea.

When writing Andrea and Simon’s love story, the word I kept coming back to was “Epic”. They love big, they love hard, and they jumped into the unknown together feet first, changing the course of each other’s lives entirely in the process.

Working together, we created a ceremony that reflected the epic nature of their love, with tons of romance and the perfect amount of craic to keep it all down to earth! Their humanist ceremony told their story from first date fireworks to their newfound joy as a family of three with their gorgeous daughter, and included a meaningful handfasting using ties belonging to both their lovely dads, a moving personalised poem penned by their close friend, and the sealing of love letters for them to open on their first anniversary, which will take them right back to how they felt on the brink of starting this next exciting chapter together.

Meeting people like Simon and Andrea, who opened their home and their hearts to me so warmly, is what makes this job so incredible. Being in the presence of a love as bold, electric and joyful as theirs is a tonic, a reminder that amazing things are possible in the everyday.

Love big and love hard, gorgeous people. Thank you, Andrea and Simon, for choosing me as your celebrant - you are EPIC ❤️

New year, same craic! But I thought it might be a good time to reintroduce myself…

If you’re new here, hiya! I’m Ruby, a humanist celebrant working all over Northern Ireland (and further afield if you want me to!). This post gives a little snapshot of who I am, what I love and what kind of couples I’m dying to work with.

“But, Ruby” I hear you think as you scroll, “Why are you banging on about yourself when it’s OUR wedding?”

Good point, well made.

And my answer is that there are tons of awesome celebrants out there with fabulous skillsets and lots of experience, ready to create you a wonderfully bespoke ceremony. How do you ever decide between all those amazing people?

My advice is to find a celebrant that you gel with, person to person. And knowing a bit about who they are behind the celebrant business might help you figure out who is on your wavelength - who is going to really understand you as a couple and be able to represent that authentically as they tell your story on your wedding day. Working with a celebrant who feels like someone you’d genuinely enjoy hanging out with will make the process of working together easy, fun and result in a ceremony that is 100% you ✨

Hence, these silly slides giving you a wee insight into who I am! Of course, the best way to find out if I’m the right fit is to have a chat with me - I offer no-obligation consultation calls where you can ask me anything and everything about the process of working together, or what my order will be when we go for a pint…

I can’t wait to meet all you gorgeous nearlyweds!

Happy planning 💕

Ruby the Celebrant OVER and OUT…

(for a few weeks, just 😘)

After a wildly wonderful and busy year celebranting, I’m signing off for a few weeks, firstly to spend some quality time with my family, and then to FINALLY head on honeymoon with my lover! 🌴 We’re off to explore a Thailand and Vietnam, not Hawaii as the music choice would suggest lol

I’m so grateful for all the love and support I’ve received in 2025, a massive year personally and professionally for me. My life has been enriched by the stories I’ve been lucky enough to tell, and the joy I’ve been lucky enough to share in with all the fantastic people I’ve met along the way. Yous are all so flippin’ class 💕

I’ll be out of office until 26th January, but I’ll still be contactable for all my gorgeous 2026 couples. And if you’d like to enquire about my availability for your 2026 or 2027 celebration, do drop me a line - I’ll be picking up emails over a few select dates while I’m away (likely with a cocktail in hand…) and will be arranging no-obligation consultation calls for late Jan and early Feb.

2028 books will open when I’m back, keep your eyes peeled if you’re on the waiting list!

This is an emotional time of year for so many reasons, and I know the next couple of weeks won’t feel merry and bright for everybody. Be gentle with yourselves and everyone around you, and here’s to prioritising community and kindness as the new year approaches.

With love and Baileys,

Ruby x

Want to know what people say about me?

See if you can make out the quotes from my Google Reviews over my squeaky trainers trying to upstage me at annoying intervals FS 😅

I’m so grateful for the kind words my couples have shared about the process of working with me, not only because it makes me pure buzz to feel I made a positive impact on their wedding day, but also because it helps other nearlyweds in the hunt to find the perfect celebrant for them!

Nowadays so many couples start their search for their dream wedding vendors online, so it’s important they can get a feel for who they might be enquiring with before getting a chance to chat face to face - so THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to leave a review, as you’ll hopefully have helped others in their search for a kind, passionate, ‘slightly sweary’ humanist celebrant who’s up for the craic (and a great dancer apparently 😉)

If you’re on the hunt for a celebrant to help craft your bespoke humanist wedding ceremony, get in touch today via my website rubythecelebrant.com - I’d be so chuffed to help you create your celebration of a lifetime! ✨

PS you can read lots more lovely reviews by simply googling “Ruby the Celebrant”

PPS my couples are the best ever in the whole wide world I love you so much

When two little words tell you everything you need to know…

From the first time we chatted, Amy and Paul’s dynamic as a couple compelled me. They strike a gorgeous balance between valuing their privacy, honouring what’s important for them to only share with each other, and simultaneously feeling so proud of their beloved, they could shout it from the rooftops!

We had so many interesting, candid chats as we honed in on exactly what was most important for Paul and Amy to celebrate on their wedding day, and what I as their celebrant could communicate on their behalf. One phrase Paul said stayed with me throughout the process of writing their ceremony script and long after…

He spoke of the joy and pride he would feel to stand in front of their family and friends and declare his commitment to his beautiful partner Amy; “I’ll be standing there with GLEE and CERTAINTY.”

Those two words held so much power, and encapsulated exactly what their marriage celebration was all about - feeling 100% confident in their bond as a couple and impossibly joyful at the prospect of starting a new chapter of life with their love.

I too stood in front of their guests with GLEE and CERTAINTY…glee at the palpable joy felt by everyone in the room, so full of love for this perfect pair, and certain that I want to experience days like this forever!

Wishing you a lifetime of love and craic, Paul & Amy. Thank you for trusting me with your story ❤️
