I’m Mark Hammett, an independent celebrant providing personalised wedding ceremonies, funeral services, naming ceremonies, renewal of vows and milestone celebrations throughout Wigan, Chorley, Leigh, Skelmersdale and the surrounding areas.
Whether you’re celebrating a new beginning, honouring a loved one or marking an important chapter in life, I’ll help you create a heartfelt ceremony that tells your story, reflects your wishes and leaves lasting memories.
Every life has a story worth telling, and every meaningful occasion deserves a ceremony that reflects it.

An independent celebrant is someone who creates and conducts personalised ceremonies for weddings, funerals, naming ceremonies and other important life events. Unlike ceremonies that follow a traditional or predetermined format, celebrant-led ceremonies can be tailored to reflect your individual beliefs, values, personality and wishes.
The cost of hiring a celebrant in Wigan can vary depending on the type of ceremony, location and level of preparation involved. At Red Heart Ceremonies, every occasion is unique, so I encourage you to get in touch to discuss your requirements and receive information about the services available.
I provide personalised wedding ceremonies, funeral services, naming ceremonies, renewal of vows and milestone celebrations throughout Wigan and the surrounding areas. Every ceremony is thoughtfully written to reflect the people and stories at its heart.
Celebrant-led wedding ceremonies offer flexibility when choosing your setting. Whether you’re planning a ceremony in a garden, at a wedding venue or somewhere that holds special meaning, we can discuss how to create a beautiful occasion that suits your plans.
In England and Wales, an independent celebrant-led wedding does not itself complete the legal marriage requirements. Couples will generally need to arrange the legal formalities separately through an authorised ceremony.
Yes. A funeral ceremony can be tailored to reflect your loved one’s beliefs, values and wishes. Whether you would prefer a non-religious celebration of life or a ceremony incorporating prayers, hymns, readings or spiritual elements, we can discuss the most appropriate approach.
Absolutely. I can create and conduct personalised memorial services and celebrations of life following a direct cremation or where the coffin is not present.
These ceremonies provide families with the opportunity to gather, share memories and celebrate the life of someone special in a setting and at a time that feels right for them.
We’ll begin with a conversation so I can understand your wishes, learn about the occasion and get to know the people involved.
I’ll then carefully prepare a personalised ceremony, working with you to ensure the words, structure and overall atmosphere feel right. Throughout the process, I’ll offer guidance and support so you feel comfortable and confident.
Of course. Personalisation is at the heart of everything I do. You can incorporate meaningful readings, favourite songs, personal stories, symbolic rituals and contributions from family members or friends.
I’ll help bring everything together into a ceremony that flows naturally and feels truly special.
I’m based in Wigan and provide celebrant services throughout Chorley, Leigh, Skelmersdale and surrounding areas of Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
I’m also happy to discuss ceremonies taking place further afield, depending on availability and travel arrangements.
For weddings and other planned celebrations, I recommend getting in touch as early as possible to secure your preferred date.
I understand that funerals often need to be arranged at shorter notice, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your requirements wherever possible.
