Why Choose a celebrant?

 Here are some of the reasons and scenarios that might lead you to favouring a 

celebrant…

• Couples and families are wanting more choice and personal elements in their ceremonies. In using an independent celebrant you build a relationship with them and create a ceremony truly bespoke, memorable and perfectly personal to you.

• Independent celebrants aren’t bound by the same constraints humanist celebrants or registrars are, which means that by inviting me to write and conduct your ceremony the sky is the limit!

• You might be getting married abroad with a very limited amount of family/friends, so when you return you want a much bigger celebration for everyone to attend.

• There are no wordings constraints - so with your personal input and my creative writing you can say what you want, exactly how you want to say it.

• There are no time restrictions, so your ceremony can be the length you want it to be.

• You might want an evening ceremony.

• The venue does not need to be licensed; you can hold your ceremony wherever you like; on a beach, in the woods, in your back garden, in a hot air balloon, by a lake - whatever is right for you.

• You can combine, design and incorporate anything and anyone you want. You might want lots of involvement from friends and family, symbolic actions, live music, readings, poetry - the list is endless.

Please note that weddings and civil partnerships led by a celebrant are not legally binding. A wedding celebration ceremony/partnership celebration ceremony must always be held AFTER you have obtained your legal paperwork. This can be easily done at your local register office. A couples and witness only marriage / civil partnership can be done at your local register office for around £50.

If covid has reaffirmed anything, it is the importance of marking milestones and special occasions in a memorable and bespoke fashion that is perfectly personal to you. This is your day and should be done in your unique and personal way.
