Questions
- What does a wedding celebrant do?
- A wedding celebrant writes and leads the ceremony you want, using your vows, readings and stories rather than a set script.
- Can a celebrant legally marry you?
- In England and Wales a celebrant ceremony is not the legal marriage. Couples usually complete the legal register-office (or licensed venue) appointment separately, then hold the celebrant-led ceremony where they like.
- How do I choose a wedding celebrant?
- Read the bio as if you were hiring a writer. Check where they travel, whether they publish a starting price, and whether the reviews sound like the room you want. Then enquire. The celebrant replies directly.
