Planning a Hen Do? Here are 6 ways to do it on a budget
With wedding traditions dying fast, modern couples are truly setting the bar for what's...
We caught up with Karen Faulkner at Stand Out Ceremonies to learn more about the roles of a celebrant and why they are so important. She says, "A humanist celebrant conducts your non-religious wedding ceremony for you instead of a registrar. Rather than reading out a fixed script that’s been heard thousands of times before, I write a bespoke ceremony that’s meaningful to you. I become part of your wedding team, working together to create a ceremony as fabulous as the rest of your day!
"As well as traditional ceremony elements, we include special features that make the ceremony super memorable: whether that’s including family, guests, your precious pooch, or symbolising your marriage by doing something a bit different. Every element is personalised; I tell a couple’s story to reflect on the adventure and I support couples to write their own vows if desired.
On the big day I’ll set the tone, be a friendly face at the end of the aisle and always try to keep out of those important photos. Your ceremony doesn’t need to be inside a licensed structure; it can be outside or somewhere truly special. Celebrants are committed to making the ceremony a highlight of the day, not the bit some couples might dread!"
