Introducing Meg!​

​

I’m a smiley, fun and vibrant wedding celebrant (my client’s words not mine!) from the Northeast. I am from Barnard Castle, County Durham and currently live in Darlington with my husband Tom. I am a friendly, northern lass but also enjoy travelling around and meeting new people.

​

In my spare time I like to listen to music, I have a varied taste and love most including northern soul, folk and cheesy pop! You’ll probably catch me trying not to dance before your wedding ceremony if you have good music playing.

​

You’ll often find me with cocktail or G&T in hand (or any drink really!). I’m a sucker for a bottomless brunch and love going to see musicals with my family. In the past I’ve created ceremony readings based on my client’s favourite musicals and films.

​

When I can, I try to meet my husband whilst he’s on tour, the great thing about working for yourself is that you can work from anywhere! I just need my laptop, a note pad and a pen to make me happy.

​

There’s a little snippet about me! I can’t wait to learn about you….

Meg Stanier Celebrant, Darlington Wedding

My Story

How did I become a celebrant?

I was working as a speech therapy assistant, at the height of the pandemic, when I first discovered this celebrant career.

​

During this time my best friends, Amy & Michael, were attempting to plan their wedding. 

I’d been with them to look at venues the year before, we had a blast looking around, attending wedding fayres and joking that I was their wedding planner. The date was now set, and suppliers booked but covid had other plans…

​

One evening I was messaging Amy back and forth, helping her decide whether to postpone or

to go ahead with limited guests at her wedding. She explained that the restricted numbers included the 2 registrars. The next text would change my career forever….

​

“You should just officiate the ceremony”

And the rest is history…

​

What an honour it is to be trusted with such a special moment in their lives. I wrote their personalised script, detailing their story, handmade their ceremony elements and stationery & wrote a personalised poem for one of their ceremony readings.

It was official, I’d caught the celebrant bug.

​

I completed my course with UKSOC and left my job in April 2022, since then I’ve written and officiated ceremonies and personalised poems for other couples and I just love it! 

That’s the short version of my story - now I want to know yours!!
