Wedding Celebrant in North Wales & Cheshire

Hello! I'm Kate Rostance (she/her), your North Wales based Humanist celebrant. I’m a full-time wedding and funeral celebrant working across North Wales and Cheshire.

I create wedding ceremonies that are deeply joyful, relaxed and fun. My funeral ceremonies are modern life celebrations with warmth, honesty and love.

Planning a wedding?Planning an elopement?

Zero cringe, maximum joy

Deeply personal, totally one of a kind

Let me guess...?

You've sat through enough weddings where the ceremony was a formality, and half the room was counting the minutes to the bar.

You know a religious ceremony isn’t for you, and a registrar ceremony feels underwhelming – so you’ve decided there must be another way.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding ceremony that’s the highlight of your day, you’re in the right place.

I only work with a limited number of couples each year so I can really get to know you and what matters most – and together we’ll create a ceremony that ticks all the boxes (even the ones you didn’t know you had).

...And if you want to strip everything back and elope?
I've got your back too.

Your celebrant

A celebrant who takes the time to know you

It’s a massive privilege to be trusted on some of the most important days of people’s lives. Great wedding ceremonies and meaningful funerals aren’t just occasions to sit through – they can be transformative experiences, full of laughter, tears, and everything in between.

By taking the time to really get to know the people I work with, I create ceremonies that feel authentic, inclusive, and completely true to them.

For me, that’s what being a celebrant is all about.

Warm & uplifting celebrant funerals

Not just a wedding celebrant

Funerals can feel overwhelming, and planning a meaningful farewell is one of the last things you can do – for your person, and for everyone they’ve left behind.

Families choose me because they want someone to walk through the process with them. I take the time to understand the person who has died, your family dynamics, and what’s needed to say goodbye in a way that feels true. That looks different for everyone, but together we can create a ceremony that feels welcoming, inclusive, and deeply personal.
