Quite simply, a celebrant is someone involved in creating, writing and conducting a ceremony. 

​

Gone are the days when you had no other choice than to have your ceremony in a church or stuffy registry office and had to follow religious or prescribed customs. If you use a celebrant you can have your ceremony anywhere you want to and include rituals and customs which mean something to you.

 

I love creating natural outdoor ceremonies especially when it is somewhere that is significant and has personal meaning to my clients. Whether that be on a beach, in a garden, in a woodland, caves or even a fort in the middle of the ocean. When using a celebrant there are no restrictions, so you can choose the perfect location no matter how weird or wonderful! 

​

Popular wedding customs like handfasting, sand pouring, unity candle lighting, ring warming and drinking wine can be included in a celebrant led ceremony and I can help you explore unique ideas which fit with your own beliefs and heritage.  

​

If you're getting married then the legal part of a marriage 'the paperwork' and the declaratory and contracting words must be said in a Registry Office or licenced venue for it to be legal and a marriage certificate issued. This can happen before or after your wedding ceremony on a day of your choosing. Remember, you don't need to exchange rings or say your vows to legally marry so you can save this part for the celebrant led ceremony.
