The ceremony

The following is an outline of a ceremony, and should be used as a guide. Your celebrant will meet with you directly before your ceremony at your chosen venue and discuss your personal preferences and the appropriate times to include your personal additions. 

Our Celebrant Registrars are all friendly and professional, and bring their own individuality to the ceremonies they conduct.
