When couples get engaged and begin wedding planning they think of the two traditional routes of getting married - church wedding or registrar at a venue licensed for weddings. The majority use a Registrar and if you do youâll get the same âone size fitsâ scripted ceremony as every other couple. Thereâs no fun, hardly any flexibility, religion and culture are not to be mentioned, poems and readings have to be cleared for suitability.
Do you really want a stranger that you have just met a few minutes beforehand to marry you then rush off to another two or three ceremonies? If you answered âI hadnât thought of that or noâ to some or all of those questions, then read onâŚ
Luckily thereâs a third option, the Celebrant Led Ceremony, 1 in 10 UK couples now opt for a celebrant led ceremony and the bridal platforms such as Bridebook, Hitched and Rock My Wedding are reporting a huge rise in searches for celebrants. For the uninitiated a celebrant is someone who conducts personal and meaningful ceremonies that are individually created, with no restrictions on location, timing or content. They operate outside of any particulars belief system or framework, cleverly adapting ceremonies to suit the couples personalities and values, whilst acknowledging and weaving in any cultures, faiths or sentiments to create a ceremony that truly reflects you.
In other words they turn a mediocre ceremony into a masterpiece that your friends and family will talk about forever!
