Benefits of hiring an independent Wedding Celebrant

Thinking of hiring a Celebrant for your Wedding Ceremony?

Celebrant-led weddings have been growing in popularity year on year. In fact, in the USA, celebrant-led ceremonies are couples most popular choice.  Here at Dale Alexander Events, we are predicting a surge in these *non-legal ceremonies in 2022. We have some amazing celebrant supplier friends. We spoke with Susan Foxall to get her top reasons why more couples should consider a celebrant led ceremony.

Have a ceremony written especially for you

Celebrants will spend time with you, getting to know you as a couple and ask you lots of questions to design and craft your personalised ceremony to reflect your personalities.  

Include the things you want i.e. religious content and personalised readings

In this modern world with a growing number of mixed heritage couples it is becoming increasing popular to have a short religious reading to recognise a person’s heritage or to please a family member. Or you may have a poem or reading that has a significant meaning to you. With a celebrant, you can include all the elements that are important to you and your family.

A relaxed, stress-free ceremony you can enjoy

Most couples who use a celebrant visit the registry office either on the morning of their ceremony or the day before to complete a short legal process to be legally married. Safe in the knowledge that they are already legally married, and nothing can now go wrong at their ceremony, many couples comment that they are able to relax and enjoy their special day much more.

Have your ceremony in any venue of your choice

A registrar can only marry you in an approved premise in a specific room solemnised for marriage. Use a celebrant and you can choose any venue or and any room or even have your wedding outdoors, on the beach abroad or jumping out of a plane. The possibilities are endless and only limited by your imagination.

Include a beautiful symbolism

There are many special ways in which you can include a symbolism, such as a unity candle, a hand fastening, a sand ceremony, or love letters. Celebrants conduct ceremonies using diverse ways in which to mark the occasion.

Committed to their profession

Celebrants like Susan Foxall are not just carrying out a job, they are in a profession that they love. Conducting ceremonies is their business and they are committed to providing an excellent service, giving couples exactly the day, they want. Ensure you find one that is a member of a trade organisation and are fully insured. That way, there is absolutely no risk to your special day.
