At yesterday's amazing UK Weddings Conference with Guides for Brides we were astonished to discover that so many venues did not know the ceremony options available to couples...
But all were keen to find out!
Did you know?...
โจ๏ธ Getting married at a licensed venue does NOT mean you are compelled to have a registrar-led civil ceremony.
โจ๏ธMany couples now choose to complete their legal marriage before the 'big day', allowing them to have a fully personalised and flexible ceremony with an independent celebrant at a venue of their choice, whether licensed or not.
โจ๏ธIn the Guides for Brides panel of brides and grooms, when asked whether their ceremony options were explained by their venue, ALL said no (registrars were presented as the only option)... and ALL said if they knew, they definitely would have considered a celebrant.
โจ๏ธSo couples... the choice is yours!
โจ๏ธAnd venues... when showing couples around, please do explain their ceremony options. More choice and personalisation = a happier couple and an even more wonderful wedding day ๐
