We have furnished a list of questions which are often asked about a Celebrant ceremony.
We enjoy talking to people so if there’s something you need to know or if you’d simply like to discuss your ideas then please give me a call by clicking on the button below!
What is a Celebrant?
A Celebrant is a person who performs ceremonies marking some of life’s biggest milestones like births, weddings, vow renewals, gender affirmation and funerals. A Celebrant can conduct ceremonies independently from any beliefs but will happily incorporate religious or spiritual elements into the ceremony. You can choose where you would like the ceremony to be without restrictions. A Celebrant can perform traditional or contemporary ceremonies that are heartfelt, bespoke and meaningful crafting your story of love and life’s events.
What is the difference between a Registrar and a Celebrant?
A registrar is employed by your local government and they conduct legally binding marriage and civil partnership ceremonies. They can conduct the ceremonies in your local register office or any building/space that is licensed for civil weddings. The ceremony including the vows must not contain any religious beliefs or phrases. This will limit your choices of where you would like your ceremony, what you would like to say for your vows and or if you would like any religious elements incorporated into your service. All you need to do before your wedding ceremony if you have chosen a civil celebrant is get the legalities done first. Jane can guide you through the process to ensure you are not paying through the nose!
How do I get the legal stuff done prior to a Civil celebrant led wedding?
You must complete the legal marriage or civil partnership requirements separately through a register office. Fees and appointment options vary by council and can change, so please check directly with your local registration service for the current requirements and charges. Jane can explain how your celebrant-led ceremony fits alongside the legal process.
Can I have any rituals in my ceremony?
Yes, you can. Perhaps you would like a blended ceremony where there is a religious ritual incorporated into the service. Maybe you would like to honour one of your family’s religious beliefs by having a particular ritual as part of your vows. A Celebrant will craft your service with any religious or spiritual beliefs blended into your ceremony exactly how you would like.
Where can I hold a Celebrant led ceremony?
Anywhere you like. You may want your wedding on a beautiful beach. North Wales has the most stunning coastline and Jane can advise you of locations and the climate. Perhaps you both have a favourite place like a forest walk or park. There are no restrictions which make your day so special and memorable.
