What is a celebrant?
Since becoming a celebrant, this has to be the question I am asked the most.
A celebrant is a person who leads or officiates ceremonies for life events, such as weddings, namings, funerals and other important occasions.
Celebrants create personalised ceremonies that are unique to the couple or family involved and can help them celebrate in a meaningful way.
Celebrant led ceremonies can take place in any location and do not have to be held in licensed premises.
Currently, in England, a couple wanting a celebrant led wedding must also visit their local registry office to legalise the marriage, much in the same way you would register the birth of a child and then have a separate christening or naming ceremony.
However, unlike a registrar, a celebrant can include anything they want in the ceremony and it can be customised to reflect the couple’s love, style and personality.
