Q I'm slightly confused about what a celebrant does! Can you help?
A Louise Goode says: The best thing a celebrant brings to the table is themselves. People often overlook the fact that celebrants are individuals, and each bring something different to the industry. Before booking, look at their reviews, do some research on social media and take plenty of time to chat with a few.

Some celebrants are formal, some are warm and cuddly, some are subtle, some are colourful or funny, and some are just plain bonkers. You can do the legal stuff at your local registry office and then choose any venue you like for the celebrant-led ceremony of your dreams.

A good celebrant will take the time to listen to you and offer advice on poems, music, unity ceremonies, logistics, and lots of other things. They will tell your love story, help you prepare your vows, include the ring exchange and a commitment certificate and involve everyone as directed. They will take a genuine interest in your day and make you feel confident and at ease in their company. They will write you a script that suits your style and is special to you as a couple and work with you to create a ceremony that you will remember for all the right reasons.
