Weddings and Civil Partnerships ~ Anything is Possible
An Independent Celebrant offers you the opportunity to have a unique and personal ceremony to celebrate your wedding or civil partnership.
This is achieved by meeting with you and exploring what you want to include in your ceremony.
A personalised ceremony will then be created with words, music, poetry, religious passages, symbolism or anything that you want to include that means something to you.
The ceremony itself can be held at any time and location chosen by you and this does not have to be premises licensed for weddings and civil partnerships.
For anyone the church will not marry, e.g. divorced couples and civil partnerships an Independent Celebrant is the perfect choice to prepare and deliver the ceremony on your special day. I am a trained Independent Celebrant and I will endeavour to ensure that your celebration and ceremony is unique for you.
The legal part of any marriage/civil partnership ceremony takes around six minutes and the rest of the service is purely ceremonial, even the exchanging of rings. An Independent Celebrant is not registered to perform the legalities relating to a marriage or civil partnership. The legally binding part of the service must take place at registered premises and by a registered officiate for a marriage or civil partnership to be recognised in law.
Details of what this entails can be seen at https://www.gov.uk/marriages-civil-partnerships/overview
However whether you choose a Registry Office or beautiful licensed location, the ceremony conducted by the Registrar will stay the same, short and impersonal and won't allow you to have any religious reference of any kind or any individual input to make your service bespoke. Did you know for example that the law states that you must get married under a roofed structure!
If you choose a celebrant, you can arrange the legal side of your marriage to take place at the local registry office with each other and two witnesses (some people do this in their lunch hour the day before) and then have your ceremony performed at the location of your choice, licensed or not, by your celebrant, who you will have worked with to make your ceremony unique and personal to you.
Whether you want a simple affair, maybe at home or at your favourite pub, or something more lavish or quirky, maybe in a beautiful listed building or perhaps even a field or on a beach, as an Independent Celebrant I am here to create and deliver your ceremony. When you think of weddings or renewal of wedding vows you traditionally think of churches, registry offices or venues that are specially licensed with a registrar in attendance. But actually you can say your vows anywhere you want to, at a time and place that suits you; it can be your garden, at home or anywhere you choose; anything is possible and it can be more cost effective than a traditional ceremony.
So that’s where I come in! I can help you plan the ceremony of your dreams. We will work together to bring your ideas to life for a celebration bespoke to you. We can include promises, vows, music, readings and poems and symbolic exchanges, just for you. You can walk in separately or together, you can include other friends or family, in fact you can do anything you want at your ceremony.
