FAQs. Contact me with any questions you have but here are some that are frequently asked.

Currently not in the UK, but we are working hard to get that sorted. People should have the right to celebrate in the way they want to and have it legally recognised. Most people having a Celebrant led wedding have the basic civil ceremony at the registrar's office either before or after. How much does that cost? Read on. All you'll need are two witnesses and you can leave all the ring exchanges and vows to your real wedding - which is of course with me as your celebrant!

This is a question I see a lot on wedding forums. The answer is oh so much.
The celebration can take place wherever you want regardless of whether the venue is licensed or not
It can be as big or small as you want
The ceremony tells your story and is bespoke to you and you alone
You have loads of contact with your celebrant throughout the whole process
I will only book one service a day so I won't be rushing off if you are late for any reason
You can have any symbolism you'd like and I will take you through loads of cultural and symbolic rituals you may not have heard of. This is about creativity and choice.
You can have as many redrafts as you like
You can include as many people as you'd like
I'll be talking to your suppliers so everyone is on the same page

And the list goes on.

Of course! It won’t have legal weight but it'll have all the emotional weight you would want from that document.

If the venue allows, then fine by me. Some people have their dog bring the rings to them.

No actually. A basic ceremony costs around £57, although this can vary depending on which part of the country you are, as the rate is set by the council. This would not include the cost of the ceremony room which you'd only have if you wanted a bigger event at that time. The other fees include the fee to give notice, which is £35 per person. Any additional marriage certificates start at about £10 and admin costs about £10. Having a Celebrant led wedding doesn't mean you pay out twice- in fact it can work out the same or less expensive. You don't have to book a licensed venue which will save money or pay for the registrar to come to you.
To give you an idea of costings, take a look at this useful page from Bridebook.

● Monday to Friday (office hours) – £300-400
● Monday to Friday (outside of office hours) – £400-£450
● Saturday – £500
● Sunday – £550
● Bank Holiday – £525
● Special Days (for example, Valentine’s Day, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, New Year Day) – £600-£650
You may also have extra costs added on - musicians, decorations. So as you can see, a celebrant wedding is not really any more money and you get SO much more for it.

You contact your local registry office and they will instruct you how to give notice of your intent to marry and guide you through the process. Through them you can organise your legal ceremony. Don't leave that too long though as they get booked up.
