Terri Long | Wedding Celebrant

Hello,  I’m Terri, an energetic, fun-loving, kind-hearted family and wedding celebrant based in beautiful North Yorkshire. I specialise in crafting one-of-a-kind ceremonies – and I’ll happily pop up anywhere, whether that’s across the UK, Europe, or even further afield, to make your day truly remarkable.

About me

Let’s start with this: I adore a good knees-up. Whether it’s a wedding, naming day or vow renewal, I believe life’s milestones deserve to be marked with joy, meaning and a splash of flair. My role is to help you do just that – by creating a moment that’s completely, unmistakably you.

I’ve spent much of my working life in the arts and charity sectors, where I spent a lot of time writing, connecting with people and telling their stories in ways that really mean something. Now, I have the privilege of using those skills to bring people together, celebrate love and create moments that stick with you and your guests long after the day itself.

I’m a big believer in positivity, inclusivity and making sure everyone feels welcome. Whoever you are, whoever you love, and however you want to celebrate, I’ll work with you to create something totally unique. No templates, no clichés – just a ceremony that’s authentic, heartfelt and unforgettable.

When I’m not crafting ceremonies, you’ll usually find me exploring the countryside or coastline with my hubby and my dog, belting out tunes with my choir or losing my singing voice at a music festival (fun fact: I got engaged at Glastonbury!).

I also love fashion (the brighter, the better), visiting galleries and dabbling in creative writing – whether it’s short stories or helping couples write the vows they never thought they’d have the words for. Basically, if it’s colourful, creative and full of energy, I’m in!

 Weddings, naming days, vow renewals, or commitment ceremonies – whatever you’re celebrating, let’s make it all about you. From our first chat to the big day, I’ll take the time to understand your story, style, and what matters most to you.

Together, we’ll craft a ceremony that’s meaningful, memorable, and uniquely yours – whether it’s an intimate starlit gathering, a breezy beach celebration, or a lively city soirée.

Here’s what I offer:

• Bespoke ceremonies: Every ceremony is personal and tailored to your story.
• Inclusivity and warmth: I’ll ensure everyone feels welcome, whether you’re embracing traditions, adding a spiritual element, or doing something completely new.
• Unforgettable moments: Your guests will be fully engaged, sharing in laughter, joy, and heartfelt connection.
• Support every step of the way: From choosing readings to writing vows, I’ll guide you, helping you feel relaxed and confident.

Think of your ceremony as the heart of your day – there to set the standard for all the celebrations to follow. I’ll make it welcoming, relaxed and packed with good vibes, leaving everyone smiling and feeling the love.

Dreaming of a woodland handfasting, a barefoot beach ceremony, or exchanging vows in your favourite pub? Let’s do it. Want a meaningful ritual, a fun twist or something totally unique? I’ll help bring it to life.

Based in North Yorkshire, I’m happy to travel wherever your story takes us – across the UK, Europe, or beyond. On the day, I’ll be there to pitch the perfect tone with a steady hand, a big smile and a ceremony that kicks off your celebrations in style.

Planning a wedding or ceremony can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. From shaping ideas to fine-tuning every detail, I’ll make sure the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. If you’re after a celebrant who brings energy, humour and warmth, we might just be the perfect match!
