Yes, I can suggest a variety of readings for your ceremony, including poems, quotes, and passages from literature. We can work together to find readings that resonate with you and reflect the tone and theme of your ceremony.

There are no strict rules for the ceremony. It can be as traditional or as unconventional as you like. The most important thing is that it reflects your personality and values. We can work together to create a ceremony that is truly unique and special.

The process of hiring a celebrant typically involves an initial consultation to discuss your needs and preferences. After that, we will work together to plan and design your ceremony, including any specific rituals or readings you want to include. I will also help with writing personal vows and ensuring that the ceremony reflects your unique story.

I am not strictly religious, but I have a keen interest in religion and traditions from different cultures. I am happy to include elements from various religious and cultural traditions in your ceremony in a way that is both culturally sensitive and reflective of the couple's values and preferences.

I offer guidance and support in writing personal vows, helping you to express your feelings and commitments in a way that feels genuine and heartfelt. We can work together to craft vows that are meaningful and unique to your relationship.

No, I am not a humanist celebrant. While both humanist celebrants and independent celebrants create personalized and non-religious ceremonies, humanist celebrants are specifically aligned with humanist principles and philosophies. As an independent celebrant, I have the flexibility to incorporate a wide range of elements, including spiritual or cultural traditions, based on your preferences.

My ceremonies typically last between 15-40 minutes, depending on the rituals and elements you choose to include. We can discuss your preferences and design a ceremony that fits your vision and timeline.

A registrar is a government official who conducts legally binding ceremonies, such as weddings, according to the law. An independent celebrant, like myself, creates personalized and unique ceremonies that are not legally binding but can be tailored to your specific wishes and needs.
