How to create a perfect wedding venue at home

“Home is where the heart is” this well known saying holds a great deal of truth.  This has been even more appropriate over the last few months with many of us spending far more time at home than we would usually do. 

As an Independent Celebrant I conduct non-statutory ceremonies.  If you are considering a ceremony at home (or any other venue)  choosing a Celebrant led ceremony gives you the freedom to create a ceremony which reflects you as a couple.
If you have completed the legal declarations then you might wish to have a Wedding ceremony.  If you have yet to complete the legal declarations then you could have a Commitment ceremony.

It is important to follow the current COVID-19 guidance to ensure that everyone stays safe.  As guidance changes on a regular basis it is best to check the changes on a regular basis too.
