A celebrant creates and leads a personalised ceremony that reflects your story, values and wishes. Unlike a standard script, your ceremony is written especially for you and can include personal touches, readings, music, symbolic moments and meaningful words.

In England, celebrants usually conduct the ceremony itself, while the legal marriage paperwork is completed separately at a register office. Many couples choose this option because it gives them the freedom to have a much more personal and flexible wedding ceremony.

One of the lovely things about choosing a celebrant-led ceremony is the flexibility. Your ceremony can take place in a venue, garden, family home, woodland, beach or somewhere that holds special meaning to you, depending on practical arrangements and permissions.
