You can choose wherever in our Borough you want this to
take place, including at your home - as long as the venue is
suitable, our celebrants can attend and conduct the
ceremony of your choice. No legal preliminaries are
required, so you can time this event as soon as you choose.
These can of course also be combined with a legal ceremony
too if you so choose, on the same day or at a different time.

You can also personalise the ceremony as you wish and
include traditional elements such as being escorted up the
aisle, exchanging rings, sharing vows and including music
and readings. If you choose you can sign your commemorative
certificate along with witnesses and have this presented to
you. We will chat through with you how you would like your
special ceremony to be.
Celebration Ceremonies
Renewal of Vows
A celebration ceremony does not hold legal status, but is a
popular and symbolic way of celebrating your relationship
or a recent marriage.
Your ceremony could be a celebration of a special milestone
or anniversary in your relationship, or a celebration of
overcoming a difficult time in your lives. Perhaps you didn’t
like the way you did it the first time and want to have the
celebration of your dreams together! Whatever the reason,
we can guide you through a wonderful celebration.
You might choose this type of ceremony for a variety of
reasons. Perhaps you wish to celebrate your relationship
publicly without a legal obligation. You may have had a small
legal ceremony elsewhere or abroad and now wish to celebrate
that with a larger gathering of friends and family. Perhaps
the place you wish to celebrate isn’t licensed. Whatever the reason,
we are here to help you plan the occasion that works for you.
No legal preliminaries are required, so you can time this
event as soon as you choose, and it can take place anywhere
that works for you. This type of ceremony can also be
personalised as you wish and include personal elements
such as being escorted up the aisle, exchanging rings,
