Wedding Celebrants
Celebrant in Cornwall
Lisa, Sam and Caroline are highly experienced, professional and FUN celebrants who know that not everyone wants a boring standard script for their most important day. We tailor the ceremony to your exact requirements, resulting in a stunning, unique experience, which can be held in any location of your choosing, any time of day, no license required. It’s all about personalising your day, telling your unique story and crafting the ceremony around everything you want to include.
We are winners of The Hitched Wedding Awards in 2022, 2023 AND in 2024 for one of the most recommended professionals by married couples and the only SW finalist in the Guides for Brides National Awards 2023 and 2024.
Do get in touch with us via hello@celebrantincornwall.co.uk; we’d really would love to chat about being part of your special day.
Frequently Asked Questions:
We want a cheap celebrant. Is that you?
Afraid not! We believe the ceremony is the heart of your day, the part that starts the party, which will have all your guests raving about. We are professionally trained, with many years of experience, and we put our heart and soul i(and many hours of work) into your wedding ceremony. Like with all things – you definitely get what you pay for! Prices are on our website.
Is a celebrant-led wedding legally binding?
No, not yet. The legal paperwork can be completed at the Register Office in as little as ten minutes for around £50 (plus notice fees). Couples generally choose to have their legal ceremony before their celebrant-led ceremony – enabling them to plan their celebratory ceremony exactly as they choose, without any restrictions from the local authority. Lisa is a former deputy registrar and can advise on the legal process.
