Pat Clarke-Browne Humanist Celebrant and Solemniser

Pat is absolutely amazing. He pays such attention to all the tiny details and made such an effort to get to know us as a couple. I would highly recommend Pat to anyone.

I just have to say a huge thank you to our celebrant Pat Browne Clarke for making our wedding day absolutely amazing! From the very first meeting on zoom, he was so warm and welcoming, and they really took the time to get to know us, our boys and our story. I felt like we knew Pat and he was one of our own, couldn’t have asked for anything better!

On the day itself, Pat created such a beautiful atmosphere and led the ceremony perfectly. It felt so personal and special, and we loved every moment of it. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about how lovely the ceremony was!
Pat had the ceremony live streamed which was amazing as our family abroad could still be a part of our day and he was able to send us the recording the following day.

If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and knows how to make your day unforgettable, I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you for being such a big part of our special day!

Whilst planning our wedding I reached out to a number of celebrants to check their availability for our date and Pat was the first one to come back to me within 15 minutes of my initial email.
He was always very responsive to emails I sent and talked me through over a zoom call what we had to think about for our ceremony and helped us put it together.
He put our minds at ease and in the day he was perfect and we lived our ceremony.
Would highly recommend him to any other couple thinking of getting married.

Pat was brilliant and very helpful from our initial meeting to our wedding day. He helped us plan a very personal ceremony involving our children and nieces and nephews. He created a very relaxed atmosphere on the day. The guests raved about the ceremony all felt it really captured us as a couple. Our ceremony is a wonderful memory to have. And I would highly recommend Pat he brings his years of experience and great personality to create a very special day

Delighted with Pat's service. He contributed so much to the day. Friendly, warm and professional from the lead up to the wedding to the day itself. He put us at ease and so many guests commented on what a beautiful ceremony it was. We'd highly recommend Pat. Tara and Pádraig

Pat was amazing we had him as our celebrant recently and I’m so glad we chose him he really engaged with everyone at our ceremony and made us feel so at ease

We had seen Pat at previous ceremonies and we knew when planning our wedding ceremony this is who we wanted. From our first contact with Pat to after our special day we couldn't have asked for better. Pat really made it so special and highly recommend him.

We cannot recommend Pat enough. He does such a wonderful job at making his ceremonies so personal and fun. He walked us through the entire ceremony prior to our wedding day and made sure that we were completely comfortable with every aspect. Pat does a great job of helping you to customize your ceremony to completely fit your vision.

We can't thank Pat enough for bringing his wonderful energy to our ceremony. He made us feel so comfortable and at ease. If we had to do it all again, there would be no question as to who we'd want officiating. Pat is truly amazing!

From the moment we spoke on the phone to our wedding day Pat made us feel at ease, was amazing on the day and had the exact sense of humor we wanted on our special day. We are so happy that we were lucky to have Pat as our Celebrant!

We would recommend Pat in a heartbeat. From our first meeting at the wedding fair, to the day of the ceremony, Pat was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He made us feel so comfortable, and gave us invaluable advice as well as taking all of our ideas on board. The whole process was made so easy and straightforward by Pat, so we really felt like we were in expert hands. Thank you Pat for everything!

Pat is extremely professional and a lovely man, the service he provided was impeccable. He made what was a stressful day stress free. We got married outside and in the mists of storm Ashleigh we had to change the time of the wedding (to coincide with a break in the weather) at short notice and this was no problem for Pat. I would highly recommend Pat as, in the words of Tina Turner, he is “simply the best”

Pat did such a wonderful job with our ceremony. He was very receptive in the lead up to the wedding and we had a few zoom calls with him to create and finalise the ceremony plan.

Pat's delivery was warm and professional. He has a great sense of humour and laughed along with us!

We received a video recording of the ceremony which was amazing! It brought us right back to the day.

We would highly recommend Pat!

What a complete and utter gentleman and professional Pat is! The ceremony was so special and very unique to us as a couple. Pat guided us and was open to everything we asked. He also created a beautiful video from the livestream he set up which is so special to have. We cannot thank you enough, Pat! We will be recommending Pat to everyone who is thinking of a humanist event. Thank you!
Amanda & Brendan

We are beyond happy with chosing Pat as our Celebrant. He was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He helped us so much in the lead up to the big day and answered all our many questions. We would highly recommend Pat to any couple.
Our ceremony was perfectly perfect, Pat made us feel so comfortable the second we entered the ceremony and it all flowed so well. he did so much for us and he was brilliant with the guests too.
Massive 10 star review. Thank you for everything Pat, we really appreciate it. Emma and Emily

Pat was extremely helpful in the lead up to our big day and conducted a magical and memorable ceremony for which we are very grateful. Took a lot of the planning pain off our hands allowing us to concentrate on other parts of the wedding. Would recommend to anyone to use his services. It was an extremely personal ceremony and many guests commented on how good Pat was.

Pat was absolutely fantastic! His professionalism, sense of humour and warmth put us at ease from the very beginning and this really shone through on the day. So many of our guests raved about the ceremony and commented on how wonderful he was. He gave us so much advice and provided loads of information that helped us create a ceremony that was special to us and we loved every single second of it. He's such a genuine, lovely man and we couldn't recommend him enough!

Pat was amazing! We wanted a very relaxed ceremony and Pat was the perfect person to help us with that. All of our guests complimented how great he was. He really let us make the ceremony our own. He was super fast with email replies, which is so helpful when you are in the midst of wedding planning. His organisation and reliability helps you to feel at ease

Pat was absolutely amazing from start to finish he answered emails super fast and once we had the zoom I could tell straight away what a lovely man he was ! He answers all our questions and his website was super easy to use ! All my quests raved about how lovely the ceremony was we are so delighted to have had pat marry us

Pat married us in November and our guests are still talking about how wonderful he was! He took the stress and worry out of the ceremony and everyone was so relaxed. We would highly recommend Pat and we hope to cross paths with him again. A true gent :)

Thank Pat you for everything you did for us for our wedding.
You helped set the fun tone for the day and we all had a ball from start to finish.
Your professionalism and knowledge gave us great comfort, confidence and gave us less to worry about.
Can't thank you enough.
Very happy to recommend you to anyone getting married.

Pat was wonderful to work with. He made our day everything we hoped it would be. He is extremely responsive with email and goes above and beyond with his service! I would recommend him to anyone, we cannot express our gratitude enough!!

Pat was absolutely brilliant. So engaging with both ourselves and guests at the ceremony. Both before and during the wedding his easy personality put us both as ease. His organisation and suggestions made for a very personal celebration.

Where do I even begin with Pat? From the moment we met on Zoom (we live in Liverpool), we knew that we had to pick Pat. His charismatic nature makes him a joy to be around and he instantly puts you at ease, feeling as if you're all lifelong friends.
Once we had booked, Pat was always really responsive and quick to answer any questions we had throughout the planning process. We met on Zoom since our original meeting to discuss everything and again, we always felt at ease.
Of course, this was no different on the day of the wedding itself. He was so calm and reassuring that we didn't feel any pressure or nerves on the day. Our day was catered to exactly who we are as a couple and we were able to have fun with it.
Furthermore, Pat set up a Zoom link (we love zoom!) for our family and friends that couldn't make the journey to the wedding for various reasons. This allowed us to have them part of our day, even from New Zealand. He also downloaded the footage for us and provided us with a personal link to watch it whenever we want, and to share with family and friends.
We are so lucky that we stumbled across Pat because we really couldn't have asked for more from him. We are so grateful that he could be part of our day and help us to make so many happy memories. You're incredible, Pat!

I could not have been happier in having Pat be our celebrant for our recent wedding. From the start he was so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He made us feel so at ease and explained everything to us, we felt absolutely clueless before speaking to him, but he made everything so easy for us. We met him over zoom to chat through the ceremony, he helped us with things we hadn't even thought about and was able to suggest lots of fun things we could add. He even took care of playing the music throughout our ceremony which was a huge help to us! I was thrilled to have Pat with us that day, an absolute gem. Thank you so much Pat!

Pat made our wedding so special. he has a warmth, joy and natural sense of humour that engaged everyone at the ceremony. Pat tailored the wedding to include everything we wanted and did so happily with just a few suggestions based on his experience. We would without any hesitation recommend Pat

Pat was amazing from start to finish. Calm, responsive and created the most beautiful ceremony that was very personal to us and featured everything we said was important to us. Can't recommend him more highly. Also an Irish speaker which was great to incorporate into parts of the ceremony.

Pat was just so friendly from start to finish so easy to talk to and we would highly recommend him

Pat is an absolute gentleman. We had the good fortune of knowing Pat already and always knew we'd want him as our Celebrant once we got engaged.

Pat has an excellent website with loads of ceremony templates to browse through. We went through the ceremony with him over zoom and he sent back a copy for us to review and edit. On the day he was calmness personified in the face of an onslaught from our toddler! He rolled with it and gave a very personable ceremony.

Pat also live streamed the ceremony and had an edited recording based off three cameras he had set up in our inbox 48hours later.

We had an absolutely magical wedding, and that was in no small part thanks to Pat! When we first chatted, I told him what I hoped our wedding would be like and he crafted our perfect ceremony. It was romantic, personal, and intimate. We really wouldn't change a thing.

In addition, Pat went above and beyond for us by filming and editing our wedding video! We are so lucky that he was apart of our big day.

We had the pleasure of having Pat officiate our wedding. Warm, Calm with some lovely extras added in such as the ceremony video he did a great job.

Pat was amazing at helping us plan and performing the wedding ceremony. He allowed us to have complete flexibility with the ceremony and there was the amazing advantage that he will record or livestream the ceremony for you at no extra cost. He was also really organised and we got to use the handfasting ribbons from his own wedding so we didn't have to get our own! We were worried about the weather in advance of the day and he had no problem with us potentially changing the time of the wedding at last minute to take advantage of any potential dry spells for photos - thankfully we didn't need to do this!

Pat was a pleasure to deal with from first chatting on zoom and then in person. We picked our wedding songs and reflection readings. He made us and our guests feel at ease. Ceremony was both enjoyable, intimate and professional. We would highly recommend Pat to solemise your wedding.

Pat was fantastic. His jolly nature put us and our guests at ease during the service and his attention to detail in the run up to the big day resulted in a smooth and professional delivery. We?d definitely recommend Pat!

It is hard to fully put into words what having Pat Clarke Browne officiate at our wedding has meant to us. From the outset he was warm, friendly, genuine and so helpful. He has some great ideas and he adds the nicest little touches. He really does think of everything! Our ceremony was beautiful, so intimate and personal. Everyone remarked on how he is able to put everyone at ease. He is great fun to be around and we really appreciated his skills with technology- Pat looked after our music, live streamed our wedding for friends and family and sent us the most beautiful video that really captured the essence of the day. We would highly recommend Pat to any couple planning their wedding. He is absolutely outstanding at what he does! Thank you Pat!

Where to start! Pat absolutely made our wedding day. He was so effortless to deal with in the run up to the wedding day itself. We met Pat via zoom in advance of the day to run through the ceremony and Pat gave us plenty of options for how our ceremony could be tailored to the way we would like it to be.

On the wedding day itself he was an absolute professional while being bubbly, friendly and personable to us and all our guests. A good few guests actually told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony, it felt very personal, warm and light hearted which is exactly what we wanted. He is an amazing celebrant and goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. Pat also gave us the option of setting up a Zoom service at no extra charge for those who couldn't be there and he provided a really lovely recording of the ceremony itself (again at no extra cost) for us to keep which we absolutely love having.

Our day was made all the more special for Pat having married us and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Humanist Celebrant. Thanks for everything Pat! Carol & Shane

From the moment we met pat we knew we wanted him to marry us. He is professional, fun and he enjoys his job you can see that in his work. Due to covid we had to change our date and again pat was so helpful and it was stress free. The lead up to the wedding pat covers everything you mite need for your ceremony we wanted to include our children and this was so easy to do. Due to covid our numbers were down and we weren't aloud live music, but pat offered to live stream or record our ceremony and he did our playlist for us so we didn't even have have to worry about music. This just shows you pat will go the extra mile for you to make your day special and stress free. We are so grateful to pat for making our day so special and fun. Booking pat was honestly the best thing we did.

So glad we choose Pat as our celebrant/solemniser. We would definitely recommend him. He is very personable and professional. All our guests commented on how good he was. He allowed us to make our ceremony as personal as we liked, including a fire ceremony. He also provided a Zoom service for those who couldn't be here and saved it as a video for us to keep which was a lovely gesture as he didn't charge extra for it. Plus because he is a solemniser he can legally marry you wherever you like which is also a bonus.

Pat was so wonderful in both the lead up to the day and the day itself. Looked after so much on the day including our music and streamed our ceremony for those who couldn't attend which so many were very grateful for! Always at the other end of the phone if needs be too whenever I had a question or query! Very grateful for Pats ribbons for hand fasting also as a guest left ours in the car and we didn't realise until they were needed! On the ball with everything and it all ran so smoothly! Couldn't recommend Pat enough!

Pat was the celebrant at our wedding and we were blown away with how at ease he made everyone feel , he's so kind and has a sparkling personality that really shines through in the ceremony . 5 stars isn't even enough to evaluate how amazing Pat is at his role .

Pat was a fantastic celebrant for our wedding ceremony. Despite the stress of the pandemic, he remained calm and upbeat throughout. He was very helpful and always at the end of the phone or an email if we needed anything or wanted advice. He also provided a recording and streaming service as we could only have 6 guests to the ceremony; and this way, we were able to share our day with family and friends around the world. All our virtual guests commented on how professional the streaming was and how nice it was that they could be a part of the day. We would highly recommend Pat as a celebrant for anyone who is getting married and wants a Humanist ceremony.

What a lovely lovely man, never stopped smiling.. was witty and yet sincere... beautiful ceremony from start to finish.

Absolutely incredible effort by Pat. Wonderful celebrant for my sister. So very approachable, friendly and professional. With covid ongoing, he nonetheless smoothly conducted the ceremony, had video set up, played the music and took photos! Incredible

I couldnt recommend Pat clarke - browne highly enough ! Friendly , professional and accommodating .

Pat was wonderful! Helpful,kind, thoughtful, great sense of humour and always came back to us so fast if we had any questions. He really made the day extra extra special not only with the beautiful ceremony but with photos,a video recording of the ceremony and music too - all so personal for us!! We couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thanks again Pat for helping us create such a memorable day.

We had our wedding day on 6 November 2020. To say this has been a stressful year of wedding planning would be an understatement. We made so many changes over the months leading up to the wedding it was nerve wracking. However, the one aspect that neither of us had any doubts about from day 1 was having Pat as our Celebrant. From the very first zoom meeting right up until our day, Pat was there for us in more ways than we could have ever expected. Further, when it came to the wedding day, everyone said it was genuinely one of the nicest ceremonies they have ever been at and they truly loved how much it was all about love.?


Everyone had amazing things to say about Pat. They said he was warm and welcoming and that he really made everyone feel at ease (which is especially amazing given the year we've all had). They loved the atmosphere that Pat created from start to finish and we did too.?


Coming from a traditional Catholic background, we had never been to a humanist ceremony before our own and so we weren't 100% sure what to expect, but Pat made it easy for us to enjoy every little moment. For that we cannot thank him enough. Pat was also beyond kind enough to Zoom our wedding to many of our family and friends who could not make it in person. It was incredibly thoughtful of Pat and I know that it meant the world to those who could still share the day with us in some way because of Pat's innovation.

We can honestly say that our Wedding day was all the more special for Pat having married us and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Humanist Celebrant.

Aisling & Philip.

We loved Pat. He was able to create the perfect environment for our ceremony. We had lots of happy tears and laughter throughout. Wend highly recommend him to anyone hoping to have a humanist ceremony.

Pat has been a personal friend for many years, so we knew we wanted him to officiate at our wedding. We also wanted the ceremony to be legal on the day so that our wedding day was really our wedding.
He is a natural celebrant, relaxed and efficient while maintaining his normal fun personality. He made sure to be inclusive of our guests who were expecting a more traditional wedding and provided exactly the ceremony that we wanted to celebrate our special day.
He's busy, if you can get him for your special day, you should.

We were so happy with the service that Pat provided, not just on the day its self but in sorting out the music and showing us how the day would run. He was a very calming influence and very warm and friendly through the ceremony. Would love to be doing it again and would definitely still have to have Pat with us.

Pat was an extremely professional and kind Celebrant. We wanted to add other elements to our wedding and Pat was very understanding and considerate of our vision. Highly recommend him for your big day!
