As Celebrant-led ceremonies are all bespoke it is possible to include all the people you wish to be included. Friends and family can be involved by reading poems or performing songs. You may also wish children from previous partnerships to be included and acknowledge the new roles and relationships that have been created. Where numbers permit you can also involve everyone using a symbolic action; within a Naming or Welcoming ceremony the invited guests may form a circle of support around the parents and child and a Ring warming is a good way to include guests when undertaking a Wedding or Commitment ceremony.

Couples wishing to celebrate a Civil Partnership may wish to do so with a Celebrant led ceremony following the completion of the legal declarations at a Registry office. Within a bespoke ceremony the couple may wish to express their commitment to each other, make promises for the future and exchange rings, gifts etc. They may choose to use traditions and symbolic actions from a range of different cultures, beliefs or trends. There is no reason why you cannot have a Celebrant led ceremony at a licensed venue. The venue has paid a fee to hold Marriage Services which are conducted by a Registrar. This fee should be stated separately to other costs, as different Local Authorities make different charges and you can opt out. A Celebrant led ceremony can be conducted anywhere within the venue meaning you are not restricted to the areas which are licensed. So if the venue has woodland area or grotto or fabulous garden these can be used (weather permitting). Please remember that to ensure your Marriage is legal. for this you will need to undertake the legal requirements at your local registry office. All offices conduct statutory services which are very simple, cost effective ways of undertaking the legal requirements. I would suggest contacting your local authority for an informal chat. |
