A Celebrant is someone who creates and leads a personalised ceremony. A Celebrant is not necessarily religious (although I am very happy to be work with people of all and no faiths) and they are not constrained by the traditions of religious or civil ceremonies.

Anywhere you love! If it’s allowed on the site, then there are no restrictions to where you can have a celebrant-led wedding. Indoor and outdoor ceremonies are equally popular and range from barns and village halls to marquees and yurts. If you love the outdoors, then a seaside, mountain top, forest or lake ceremony might be your style. More and more people are even choosing to use their own gardens or to elope with more intimate ceremonies.

No. In exactly the same way that you register a birth or death separately to a Christening (Naming) or Funeral service, a celebrant-led ceremony requires you to ‘do the legal bit’ before or after your ceremony. Many couples opt to do a quick dash to the registrar the day before their ceremony, which they regard as their ‘real’ wedding! The details can vary depending whereabouts in the UK you are, so check in with your local registry office for full details.

The information gathered from our meetings and conversations, will provide the wherewithal to write a custom ceremony script. This may also include a symbolic ritual element. You may wish to write your own vows as they are so personal, but I am very happy to work with each of you to get it just right. I can also include chosen poems readings and any music if you have something special you would like to include.

Wedding ceremonies range from about 45 - 60 minutes depending on what elements you choose to include. Vow renewals and naming ceremonies may be a little shorter, but again there are no rules.

Funeral ceremonies range from 20 minutes to 60 Minutes, depending on location/venue.

Go for it! There’s absolutely nothing to stop you making a commitment to one another and having a wedding. Just as long as you are aware that you are not married in the eyes of the law. 

My base is Chichester, West Sussex and typically cover Sussex and Hampshire and Surrey. However, if you are planning to be in another part of the world - Just ask!

The clock is never ticking (I only ever host one wedding per day), so as much or as little as you want. Traditional or non-traditional or a mixture of both, you can include vows, readings, poems, music, performances, a ritual (as well as traditional rituals like hand-fasting I create bespoke rituals that are truly personal to you) – it is all possible.

Providing the venue can accommodate you the time required then yes, absolutely. Speak to your Funeral Director and they will be able to advise you.
