My company, Your Three Days Ltd, offers a comprehensive bespoke writing service: beautiful humanist ceremonies which I design, write and lead; versatile written elements you can import into any ceremony, event or celebration and custom-made text commissions you can frame, style or photo book.
Since starting life as a humanist ceremony business in 2010, Your Three Days Ltd has flourished, and, as a result of so many of my clients falling in love with my unique creative method, expanded. Now, unrestricted by geography or availability, new clients can enjoy a similarly remarkable process of information gathering, discussion and reflection that still results in a beautiful text, just not necessarily a ceremony.
You can’t find the Your Three Days experience anywhere else.
YTD Ceremonies - a bespoke ceremony for a unique occasion.
I have designed, written and led 300+ humanist ceremonies so far and for a wide range of clients, all looking for something entirely personal, genuine and exceptional. Based in West Yorkshire, usually I work throughout Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire but I will consider travelling anywhere in the UK/abroad.
Wedding, partnership and commitment ceremonies
Renewals of vows
Namings
Celebrations of adoption
‘This is your life’ ceremonies
Memorials
YTD Consultancy Service - a bespoke element for a unique occasion.
Working together with my clients, I create wonderful bespoke elements they can then import into their own ceremony, event or celebration, without my needing to be present on the day. My work would thrive in any setting: a Registry Office or church wedding…a christening or naming ceremony…an engagement celebration, wedding Reception, anniversary party or memorial gathering.
Vows and rings
Readings
‘The story so far’
Well-wishings
Toasts and speeches
Eulogies
YTD ‘Portraits in Prose’ - a bespoke commission for a unique occasion.
I work in close partnership with individuals, couples, families and friends to capture, in their words, landmark moments in their lives. The very special text that results is so much more than the sum of its parts: a loving record…a gift…a touchstone for the future.
‘Living arrows’ (Kahlil Gibran) - A commission celebrating a pregnancy, new arrival or recent adoption.
‘Look to this day’ (from ancient Sanskrit) - A commission reflecting an established family.
‘May your song always be sung’ (Bob Dylan) - A commission honouring a milestone birthday or anniversary.
‘I carry your heart with me’ (ee cummings) - A commission inspired by an engagement or marriage.
‘Sit. Feast on your life.’ (Derek Walcott) - A commission in tribute to a full life, while it is still being enjoyed…
‘In the hearts of those you love’ (Rabindranath Tagore) - A commission commemorating a loved one ‘In memoriam’.
I price each assignment individually and offer flexible payment plans - gift vouchers are also available.

I am really looking forward to hearing from you.
Hannah Wroe Gill - Founder, owner and director at Your Three Days Ltd
‘One of our close friends messaged me the next day to say that we were the couple everybody wanted to be and it was the ceremony and wedding that every couple wanted to have. So much of that was your doing, coordination, delivery on the day and beautiful writing. Craig and I agree that choosing you as our Celebrant was the best decision we made!’
Jess + Craig
‘We’re on Cloud 9! Yesterday was the best EVER. Thank you so much for everything. The ceremony was just perfection – we were both completely blown away. Everyone needs you at their wedding! We don’t have enough words to thank you enough. ###’
Jen + Jon
‘Not only are we delighted we decided to go with the humanist ceremony, but also that we chose you as our Celebrant. I am so, so impressed and happy we chose you. It was just wonderful and wouldn’t have been had the ceremony not been so perfect. Thank you so much, we couldn’t have asked for more from you. It was a dream. So, so, so very worth it.’
Becky + Ric
‘Where on earth do I begin? There are not enough superlatives to describe how we feel both about the ceremony you gave us and yourself as a person. The ceremony was everything we had dreamed of and to say that is quite something. The whole process was wonderful. I was bowled over by the compliments I received about the ceremony and yourself. In addition your support to Steve and I has been invaluable. I could go on and on and on and on and on but I won’t. Except to say that you did the most sensational job and for that we will be forever grateful. Hannah, it has been our absolute pleasure.’
Liz + Steve
‘We just wanted to tell you again how much we loved the ceremony you wrote and delivered for us. It really was the perfect ceremony for us – personal, sincere and beautifully delivered. We are so glad we found you and made the decision to prioritise the ceremony part of the day. It has been a real pleasure to take this journey with you from the very start and you’ve helped make us really think about who we are and what is important to us. Thank you so much for all your time, wisdom, sense and direction throughout the process.’
Jess + James
‘Thank you SO much for everything. We can’t thank you enough. You’re brilliant – the ceremony was everything we could have wished for. So many people told us it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been a part of: the perfect mix of love, sincerity and humour. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It was magical.’
Jo + Sam
‘From the first email we received, we knew you were who we were looking for to help us celebrate Freddie! And how right we were! You were a dream to work with; highly organised, intuitive and patient. We were amazed at how you managed to craft what we had told you into a witty, loving and ‘perfectly us’ narrative. On the day your calm and warmth instantly helped us relax and enjoy the day. The delivery of the ceremony was perfect. A month on, and friends and family are still talking about the day, particularly the ceremony. Many, I think, will think differently about planning their own ceremonies in the future.’
Sarah, Alex and Freddie
‘From the very beginning your enthusiasm and passion was so exciting and inspiring. The ceremony you wrote and the way you delivered it was PERFECT and EVERYONE was talking about it/you for days! It was everything we hoped for and more!’
Anna + Ben
‘Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. You really made our day truly special. It was an absolutely beautiful ceremony – we couldn’t have asked for more. Everyone commented on how lovely it was. It’s the one thing we keep remembering of the whole day. You really are Yorkshire’s best Celebrant!’
Ian + Chim
‘Thank you, not only for making our ceremony everything we had imagined – and then some – but for making the whole process of building it so beautiful too. Thank you for helping us to say what we wanted to say and working out how best to say it. Thank you for thinking of everything from ‘first questions’ to ‘practicalities’. Thank you for your calmness and professionalism and for putting everyone at ease. Thank you for taking the time to meet all of the people who are important to us and for making them feel important too. Thank you Hannah for helping us to make memories that will be cherished by many forever.’
Jen + Warren
‘Our heads are still spinning with wonderfulness of it all, just far and away the best day of our lives no doubt about it, and you were a massive part of that! You guided us through with utter calm, and the ceremony you put together was overwhelmingly beautiful, as evidenced by barely a dry eye in the house, or tent. No amount of thanks is enough, you are an amazing woman and so, so good at what you do, and clearly believe in it completely, the time and care and attention you put in was overwhelming.’
Caro + Karen
‘We just wanted to say a huge thank you again for the most perfect ceremony for Nancy’s naming day. It was wonderful and summed up all of our thoughts and feelings about our baby daughter and all she has brought to our family. I think you could probably tell how moved everyone was by the number of people shedding tears! So many people said how much they enjoyed it and how wonderfully you conducted the event, but most of all how personal it was. We can’t imagine a more fitting celebration to welcome Nancy to the world. What made it even more special was the fact that you also did our son’s naming day 2 years ago – we felt as though we were welcoming a friend back to our home! We can’t thank you enough Hannah.’
Nicola + Simon
‘It has taken me three weeks to sit down and try to put into words what this wonderful lady did for us, yet still I am finding it difficult. I cannot recommend her services enough to you. If you are in any doubt about the way you would like your service to go, one conversation with Hannah and you will never look back. This woman has an amazing gift and a beautiful soul. Everyone needs a Hannah when they get married!!’
Zoe + Chris
‘The highlight of the whole wedding was the ceremony. It was absolutely amazing. You have this utterly lovely combination of authoritativeness and warmth that completely put me at ease- like everything was completely in hand. Your delivery of the ceremony was brilliant. You are a truly great celebrant and really held the energy and filled the space. It felt so safe and sacred (not a word I’ve used before) and just really perfect. We deliberated pretty much every decision about our wedding and looked at countless options for most things, you were absolutely the best choice we made for our wedding and I am so grateful.’
Ayesha + Richard
‘Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I don’t feel like thank you even covers it but I don’t have other words. We KNEW you would do an incredible job. I KNEW you were perfect the moment I called. If you had charged 5 times as much, I would have paid it without flinching. I just don’t think we could have imagined how perfect it would be on the day. Every single line and word was us. That was the only thing that was important on the day (and for our marriage) and you condensed Rob and I into a 40 minute script. Love it. It was such an amazing start to the day and we can’t thank you enough.’
Rob + Layal
