Richard was absolutely brilliant, and set the warm, loving and relaxed tone for what became the most special ceremony that we've ever witnessed.

I’m Richard Knight, the London Celebrant.
I specialise in delivering unique, memorable ceremonies. I promise that during your ceremony, be it a wedding, a funeral, or any other event that you want to mark in a special way, no one present will be wondering when the bar will open.
Before becoming a celebrant, I spent 16 years working in restaurants in London & Melbourne, through which I developed a love of hospitality & delivering amazing, inclusive events. I have completed a BA in creative writing and a MA in critical theory, both of which fed my love of language.
Over the years, as I attended the weddings of my siblings & loved ones, at which I was often MC or asked to do a reading, I identified an opportunity for me to bring my experience & passion to this area.
I believe that a wedding, a funeral, or any of the other rituals that are so central to our lives, should be filled with love, humour, authenticity & originality.
I work with my clients to get to know them, their interests & their stories, so I can write a ceremony that reflects that individuality.
When I am not conducting ceremonies, I spend my days teaching yoga, running in my local park and enjoying great food with friends & family.
I am a Londoner born & bred, and live in fabulous Peckham. I love my home city, but I also know there’s a wonderful world out there to explore.

We genuinely cannot imagine how it could have been done better, or with more sensitivity.

It's very telling that our friends are still talking about how wonderful Richard was and what a joyfulness and warmth he brought to our ceremony and how special he made it.
