Facts about Celebrancy
In Britain
• We register a birth for legal reasons and then have a ceremony at a later date
• We register a death for legal reasons and then have a ceremony at a later date.
• We register a marriage for legal reasons and then (usually) have a ceremony at the same time
However...
We can register a marriage for legal reasons and celebrate at a later date.
This is a good idea because: You can have the wedding you want wherever you want it:
Anything, Anytime, Anywhere
Your Way
Imagination, ideas and vision, hopes and dreams.
Support
'Do your own thing', rather than the 'right and proper thing to do'
Bridging cultural gaps
Wide knowledge of cultural and religious diversity
Considered content
Experienced and sensitive communicator
Spirit
A gift for words and for laughter and understanding.
Any location
Happy to go wherever you need me to - for your perfect venue
