What is a Wedding Celebrant?
A celebrant is someone qualified to host and officiate wedding services. As well as conducting the wedding itself (non –religious and semi religious), celebrants are involved in planning the service, music, writing the love story and creating a meaningful service.
Can a celebrant legally marry you?
Choosing a civil celebrant to conduct your wedding means that you will have a much more personalised and bespoke ceremony. But it does mean that you will need to complete the legal paperwork separately at the registry office to make the marriage legally binding. This is relatively easy to do, just contact your local register office for guidance.
Where can we get married?
Absolutely anywhere! But you need to consider practicalities such as how to get your guests there, and do you need a land owner’s permission. You may have already engaged a wedding planner or even booked a venue already but if not, I will help and advise as much as you need.
What rituals are available?
There are so many different rituals that can be used to make your wedding day special that it isn’t possible to list them here. A few more well know ones are the Native American Blanket Wrap, Celtic Hand Fasting, the Judeo-Christian tradition of lighting a unity candle, and the Scottish tradition of placing hands on an oathing stone as you say your vows. Whatever you want, we can include it (as long as it’s legal!)
