As the country gradually re-opens and we all start getting back to some kind of normality, hopefully all those brides and grooms who have had their plans put on hold can book a date and know that they will actually be able to get married at last.
The rush for Registrar appointments is going to be incredible but it may not be the slot you ideally wanted. If the only date they can offer you is on a Wednesday morning – take it and then choose the perfect date, time and place to hold your ceremony conducted by and led by a Celebrant.
By using a Celebrant your ceremony will be designed and written just for you – a unique experience for you and your future husband/wife. Getting married in the UK still requires couples to stand before a Registrar – this can be done quickly and easily in a short ceremony whereby personal vows are not exchanged, neither are wedding rings. Afterwards you can have the wedding of your dreams in any location you choose – the only limitation is your imagination.

The Celebrant you choose should be completely attuned to you – listening to your dreams for your big day and turning them into reality. Having got the legalities out of the way your wedding can take on any theme you choose. It can be traditional, casual, quirky or themed. If you wish to keep it secret your friends and family need not know that the ceremony they are watching and enjoying is not your actual wedding.

There are many beautiful elements that can be included in a Celebrant led ceremony that Churches and Registrars will not do – such as – lighting a Unity Candle to symbolise stepping into your new life together, handfasting, the rose exchange, or a Loving Cup toast.

Choose your Celebrant carefully and your wedding ceremony will be one that your friends and family will talk about and remember for many months to come.
