Make Your Wedding Ceremony the most Special day
Celebrant led ceremonies have become immensely popular, whether to assist venues and couples in the absence of registrar availability or to have a ceremony in a place that usually would have restrictions such as outdoor spaces.
A celebrant ceremony is unique and personal without time constraints, allowing the ceremony to use any indoor or outdoor venue, you can hold your ceremony in your own back garden, a barn, a beach, or a woodland with no restrictions.
As the law stands in England and Wales a Celebrant led wedding is not legally recognised, meaning couples opting to have their ceremony conducted by a Celebrant must have their legal marriage conducted at their local Registry Office before or after their wedding day.
A basic legal marriage ceremony is approximately £50 at the local registry office.
It’s an appointment, with 2 witnesses when you register your marriage, repeating the legally required vows, and signing the register – in a similar way you would register a birth or a death for example.
There is no legal requirement to exchange your personal vows or your rings – save these for your celebrant-led celebration wedding with your loved ones.
