Why you should hire a celebrant

Q – Our wedding planner has suggested we hire a celebrant for our big day, but we’re not sure what the role of a celebrate is. Should we book one, and what are the benefits?

"Your wedding should be personal to both of you. The beauty of a celebrant-led service is that it’s not governed by the same fixed script as a registrar. Remember your nuptials should be exciting, romantic, fun and creative. We can also incorporate any specific beliefs or particular traditions that you would like to include.

"A celebrant-led wedding allows you to choose your venue, the people involved and the content for the service to ensure it’s as perfect as you imagined. Your options are endless when it comes to your venue. You could choose a luxury hotel, a sandy beach, your favourite pub or someone’s back garden.

"I meet my couples in advance to discuss their vision, whether it be a traditional, formal or casual service, I devote my time in getting to know them to ensure they love everything I write."
