What is a Civil Wedding Celebrant?


A Wedding Celebrant has been trained to create unique, bespoke and personalised wedding ceremonies for Heterosexual and Same Sex Couples or Couples looking to get re-married or renew their vows.

There are no set rules or restrictions to what can and cannot be contained within a wedding ceremony performed by a wedding celebrant.
The content of the ceremony is decided by the couple.

What's the difference between a wedding performed by a Civil Celebrant and a Humanist ceremony?


A Humanist ceremony is not allowed to contain any religious content.
Humanism is the belief in placing importance in the human person rather than a divine God or Gods.
by choosing to have your wedding performed by a wedding celebrant instead of a humanist you have the freedom to have an entirely non-religious wedding or to include some prayers, readings or blessings that may be important to you or your family and loved ones.

How is a Civil Celebrant different from a priest or a minister?


A Civil Celebrant does not represent any religion or any set of particular faith beliefs.
They have the knowledge and expertise to include religious elements in your ceremony if you wish or it can be entirely secular.
Some people may not be church goers but feel a connection to something spiritual.
The Civil Celebrant and Couple can work together to include prayers or religious readings that you or members of your wider family feel you have a connection with.
