A celebrant's role at a wedding
Do you envisage your wedding being a bit different to the ones you've been to before?
If weddings in a church or registry office don't float your boat then you need to think about speaking with a celebrant. With a celebrant you can separate the legal part of your marriage from the ceremony that you want to enjoy with family and friends.
The legal part has to be done with a registrar, who is employed by the local authority. This part of your wedding must be held in a licensed area, also the content of the ceremony is dictated by legislation and no religious or spiritual content can be included. Any readings must be seen and approved before the ceremony. To you, this may all sound a bit serious - if it does then don't worry, you aren't alone.

This is why people choose to have their friends and family celebrate at their own unique ceremony.
Couples choosing a celebrant-led wedding tend to get the legal part out of the way a few days before, leaving them free to enjoy their wedding day as they truly want. They are able to choose the location, the readings, poems - as well as who takes part.
These relaxed weddings can see flowers replaced with balloons, several people chosen to be best man, important family members involved in a unique way. With a celebrant wedding the world is your oyster.
If you have any ideas you want to discuss please get in touch - or I can talk you through wedding locations, poems and readings that you may find useful.

A wedding is about celebrating your life together and should be shaped around you as a couple
Let's work together to give you the wedding of your dreams
See below some of the ceremonies I conduct:
Wedding Ceremonies
Weddings with a celebrant are personal and unique. They can be held anywhere you have permission, and are tailor-made to suit you and your guests. The wedding follows your legal marriage, civil partnership or religious formalities and allows you to have the wedding day of your dreams.

Handfasting
Handfasting is a symbolic gesture during a wedding ceremony, where cords or ribbons are gently wrapped around the bride and groom’s clasped hands and tied in a knot. This symbolically binds the couple together in their declaration of unity.
|
Renewal Of Vows
This ceremony is for any couple wishing to celebrate or renew their marriage or civil partnership vows in a personal ceremony. Ideal for a special date or anniversary - you choose the location, the vows, the readings and the clothing.

Civil Partnerships
A civil partnership ceremony is a wonderful way for any gender or non-gender specific couples to be able to show their commitment to one another. It can take place in front of family and friends, or even on their own.
|
Commitment Ceremonies
A commitment ceremony is a happy and relaxed ceremony for couples who want to make a public declaration of their life-long commitment and love for each other. While it isn't legally binding, this ceremony is focused on your love and promises to each other.

Military Weddings
If you, your fiance or both of you are members of the British Army, Royal Navy, RAF or Royal Marines then you can have a military wedding. This means you can wear uniform and have a Guard of Honour, which is often called an arch of sabres or steel.
