A celebrant is a professional who creates and conducts personalised ceremonies to celebrate life’s significant moments, such as weddings, funerals, naming ceremonies, and vow renewals. While many celebrants focus on tailoring each event to your unique preferences, I take pride in working closely with you to craft a ceremony that truly reflects your story.

A registrar is a government official who performs legally binding ceremonies, often with limited personalisation. Celebrants, like myself, specialise in designing bespoke ceremonies that reflect your values and personality. While my ceremonies are not legally binding, they offer complete creative freedom.

Celebrants can conduct meaningful and symbolic ceremonies, but these are not legally binding in the UK. For marriages or civil partnerships, you’ll need to complete the legal formalities separately at a register office. I’m happy to guide you through this process.
