Answer: There’s one key difference between a registrar and an Independent Celebrant. Choice.
A registrar is a formal appointment, booked for a set time on the day and following a formulaic set of vows.
With an Independent Celebrant, you choose when, where and what you want to say.
Answer: A Celebrant is an independent individual trained to provide a custom-made ceremony, unique and personal for you. With a Celebrant, YOU have the freedom to create your own ceremony, which encapsulates your love, style and personality and to suit the type of ceremony being conducted.
Answer: Using a Celebrant means you can plan your ceremony however you want it to be. There are absolutely no rules. This is great news for couples from different faiths, views on vows and family and cultural traditions they would like to incorporate.
A good Celebrant should be able to assist and support you with the planning and decision making and be on hand to make sure your day runs smoothly.
Their experience means they can offer suggestions and ideas that you may not have thought of, point you in the direction of credible suppliers where needed and troubleshoot potential problems.
Answer: Registrars are bound by legal limitations and restrictions as to what they are allowed to include. Whereas a Celebrant is free from these restrictions and able to create a custom-made ceremony that is unique and personal to you.
In England and Wales, a wedding ceremony, like a birth or a death, must be registered legally with a Registrar, the Registrar is responsible for keeping legal records and that ceremony must take place in a licensed venue for a marriage, ie, the Registry Office. However, remember that Religious and/or Spiritual content is NOT allowed in a wedding conducted by a Registrar.
