Hello, I’m Gary and welcome to the Ministry of Life.
A Humanist celebrant, I will assist you in celebrating, commemorating or otherwise marking any of life’s crucial, significant and special events with a captivating, meaningful and memorable ceremony. Whether you are seeking to celebrate the birth and naming of a child, a marriage or civil partnership, a renewal of marital promises, a milestone birthday or an anniversary, or commemorate the life of someone near and dear who has passed away, I will help you devise a bespoke and personalised ceremony.
The first celebrant in the Channel Islands to be accredited by Humanists UK (formerly the British Humanist Association), I perform Humanist ceremonies, which are of a non-religious or secular nature. Humanist ceremonies, however, are not exclusive. They are intended to be inclusive of and meaningful to everyone present, whatever their beliefs, faith or outlook on life.
Born, raised and resident in the Island of Guernsey where I am still the only celebrant accredited by Humanists UK, I perform ceremonies not only locally but also in the outlying islands of the Bailiwick and in the sister Island of Jersey. I am willing, however, to travel literally overseas and perform ceremonies almost anywhere.
