Why Choose a Celebrant Led Wedding?
1
Registrar led ceremonies cannot include any religious or spiritual elements, they also have to be held in a licensed venue or a licensed permanent structure, if outdoors, which can be very restricting.
2
Couples only meet their local council registrar on the day of the ceremony, and not before hand. This usually means there is not time to provide personal details for that special touch, and can be quite overwhelming on the day of your wedding.

Types of Unity Rituals
-
Wine blending
Couples choose two different wines, perhaps one of their favourites. They pour them both into a glass to create the perfect blend and take a sip each. This doesn’t have to be done with wine, it can be beer or other drinks or tea.
-
Memory box
A bottle of wine is placed inside a special box along with other items such as a letter to each other, a copy of a couple's vows, photos or items from the special day. The box is then sealed and opened at a later date like a special anniversary.
-
Hand fastening
An ancient Celtic custom where the hands of the couple are tied together with ribbon, cords or rope. This can be done with the couple or with the children of a blended family in a vow renewal to signify them becoming one family.
