What is the difference between a Celebrant and a Registrar?

Your celebrant will really get to know you and your story before your day and reflect that in your ceremony script to ensure your ceremony is the only one of it's kind and completely personal to you. With a celebrant you can get married at any time of day as there are no restrictions and guests can even have a drink during your ceremony if you'd like them to! With a registrar there are more restrictions as to what you can have in your ceremony. A registrar will not be able to tell your story and choices will be made from a limited list and they will follow a standard script.

Will you travel for ceremonies?

I’m based in Lichfield and work across Staffordshire,Derbyshire, the Midlands, and the UK — and I happily travel across Europe for destination ceremonies.

Are your ceremonies legally binding?

In short - no. In the UK, a celebrant led ceremony isn't legal by itself (yet!) Most of my wedding couples register their marriage legally at the registry office a week or two before the wedding. That way, there are no rules, restrictions or pre written scripts and you can have the exact ceremony you want on your wedding day.

If you need help with the legal side of things, I offer help and support to all of my couples along the way and I also have a video on my website which explains your options in more detail.

How does the booking process work?

I always encourage you to book in for a complimentary enquiry call to see if I am the right celebrant for you. It is important you choose a celebrant you click with as we spend a lot of time getting to know you and of course we are there for the big moment on your actual wedding day!

If you decide I am the celebrant for you, I ask for a non refundable 20% booking fee to reserve your date. I only ever take one booking per day so once you have paid the booking fee that date is yours. I also ask you to complete a service agreement or contract if you like to make sure that you are happy with all of the terms. Once you are booked in, we start to work together around 6 months before your date.
