If you would like to hold your ceremony at home, there is an additional fee of £30 (inc.vat) as your Celebrant is required to visit you at home beforehand to comply with Heath and Safety requirements.

Note: If you are holding the ceremony at a venue such as a hall or hotel, ask the venue for their room hire/catering fees.

'Script Only' Option

Our Wedding Celebration script only service is available for £98 (inc.vat), this cost is for supplying a tailor-made script and certificate reflecting your ceremony content.

Where can Ceremonies be held?

Absolutely anywhere of your choosing! Anywhere from a marquee in the garden, a hotel or village hall, a restaurant, a castle or even a boat, the choice is yours.

Yes you can hold your ceremony at home, there is an additional fee of £30 (inc.vat) as we have to first ensure that your home meets the required Health and Safety policy standards.

Take a look at our 'Guidelines for Ceremonies at Home' policy, this will give you an idea of the sort of things we will check and you need to consider.

When can the ceremony be held?

Any day at any time!

Most ceremonies happen on the same day as the marriage, or soon after the honeymoon. Any time of day is available and evenings are popular for guests attending an evening reception.

Can we have whatever we like in the ceremony?

Broadly speaking yes, however, we are unable to say or do anything which may mislead the guests into thinking that the Wedding Celebration Ceremony is in any way part of a legal formality of marriage, because unlike a marriage, these ceremonies do not have legal status.

Consequently we are not able to use the statutory declarations from either a religious or civil marriage. However, we are able to use a similar format when making promises and exchanging rings, as well as having access to an extensive range of symbolic actions which add very special and personal meaning to the ceremony.

When you receive our Bespoke Ceremony Pack, do consider all the options and choices carefully and include your own additional words if you wish. Our Bespoke Ceremony Specialist Team will contact you to ensure the ceremony is exactly as you wish.

Can we include religion in the Ceremony?

Yes, some couples do include religious references and this is no problem, although if you require a fully religious ceremony, we would suggest that you contact your church or religious community.
