What's the difference between a Registrar and a Celebrant?

A registrar is a government-appointed official who can legally marry you, following set scripts and guidelines within a 15 minute timeframe.

Celebrants come in lots of different forms, all with a slightly different angle. Their focus is on getting to know you and creating a ceremony which is unique to you. I'm a celebrant accredited by Humanists UK, creating inclusive, non-religious ceremonies for couples. Humanism values human rights, equality, empathy and ethics, values which many of us share. You don't have to define yourself as a Humanist to choose a Humanist ceremony.

Will our wedding be legally binding?

Humanist ceremonies are not currently legal in England and Wales, although they are in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Jersey and Guernsey. Humanists UK is campaigning to change this, so watch this space.

That means, currently, just like registering a baby’s birth in the weeks after they were born, a celebrant-led wedding will need to have a 2+2 statutory marriage registration. In my nearest registry office, this costs £56 + £12 for your certificate.

Where can we get married?

You can get married in any venue, with or without a wedding license. You can get married outside, in your back garden, on the beach or on top of a mountain. The options are endless, and the world is your oyster.

Do you officiate LGBTQ+ weddings?

Absolutely. Marriage equality should be for everyone, and whilst I understand that globally, we have a long way to go, when it comes to my celebrant work, I’m committed to creating inclusive and joyful ceremonies that honour love in all its forms. Read More about Wedding Inclusivity
