Frequently Asked Questions
If you have a question about any of the types of celebrant ceremonies I offer, you may find the answer on the Frequently Asked Questions page.
Wedding Ceremonies
Do we still need to get officially married?
As a celebrant, I cannot legally marry a couple. This must be done by a registrar in advance of the ceremony.
Vow Renewals
How long do we have to be married before we renew our vows?
There are no hard and fast rules about when you can renew your wedding vows. It can be when you reach an important milestone: 10, 20 or 25 years. Alternatively, it can just be because you want to celebrate your marriage at any point. Some people even renew their vows on an annual basis!
Baby Naming and Welcoming Ceremonies
What age does the baby need to be?
It’s completely up to you! You can hold your baby’s naming or welcoming ceremony when your baby or child is any age.
Funeral Services and Memorials
Can I choose a non-religious funeral service with you?
As a celebrant, all of the funerals and memorials I conduct are semi-religious or non-religious. You can choose no religious elements at all. Alternatively, if you do want to include religion, you can bring in any part of any faith, including Paganism and Buddhism. We can work with whatever religious elements you want to include so you create a service exactly as you wish.
