Frequently Asked Questions

In England and Wales, celebrant ceremonies are symbolic rather than legally binding. You'll need to complete the legal requirements separately, typically through a brief registry office appointment (often called a "signing"). Most couples do this a few days before their celebrant ceremony, though it can be done before or after. This gives you the legal marriage certificate while allowing your celebrant ceremony to be a true celebration of your relationship.

Registrars perform legal ceremonies with set scripts and limited personalisation options. Celebrants create completely personalised ceremonies but cannot make your marriage legally binding. Many couples choose to do both – the legal formalities with a registrar and their dream ceremony with a celebrant.
