Our Ceremonies
Joining You

When celebrating your Marriage or Civil Partnership you can celebrate your love where, when and however you want.

This gives you the opportunity to inject personality and heart into your special day, creating something that is truly unique and captures the essence and love of your relationship. Our qualified and experienced celebrants believe that all members of our society, regardless of gender, should be able to have the ceremony of their dreams. Whatever your vision, know that we will work with you to turn your dream into reality.

Welcoming You
A bespoke naming ceremony is a very special way of welcoming a baby or child to the family and community. It is an opportunity to declare before your family and friends, your promises to your child and for adults friends or relatives to confirm their special relationship with your little one.
There are many ways to make your child’s ceremony a very personal, meaningful and unique event for all those involved. Perhaps you would like to include a symbolic action such as planting a tree or light a unity candle. Keeping it simple or adding a unique element, at Celebrate You we believe it is your ceremony, your choice!
We simply adore the wee ones and can’t wait to meet your mini-me. Contact us to share the joy!
Tea for You
They say that when the mind is silent, the soul will speak, and , at its essense, a tea ceremony or ‘Cha dao’ is an exercise in intent where - stripped of distraction and the need to ‘do’ - all one has to do is sit, observe and reflect.
Celebrate You can bring a tea ceremony to your home or to a designated indoor or outdoor space, perhaps as part of your pre-celebration rituals or as a stand-a-lone occasion for you and a group of like-minded friends. The ceremony involves drinking cups of nourishing organic tea in a ceremonial ritual passed down by generations of tea masters. Together we will mediatate, journal and reflect, enjoying the sacred benifits of the leaf.
Contact us if you would like a route back to nature via a Cha dao.
Other ceremonies to Celebrate You!
Renewal of your Marriage or Civil Partnership Vows
There are many reasons why you may be considering a celebration to renew your wedding vows. To celebrate your 10/25/50 or in fact any number of years together when you’re at a point where you want the world to know that you’d do it all over again in a hearbeat! Whatever your reason, a vow renewal is the perfect way to celebrate your marriage and commitment to each other.
A renewal of vows does not involve any legalities; therefore your celebration can be exactly as you wish. It can take place at home, on the beach, in your garden or on a clifftop, basically anywhere that has sentimental meaning for both of you.
We can include your children if you have them or perhaps your original bridesmaids or bestmen or bridesmen or bestwomen! Quite often it is the opportunity for a couple to have the celebration that perhaps they couldn’t afford or dreamt of having when they got married!
It is a chance for us to create a new memory that reaffirms your ‘togetherness’ and leads you on the way towards your next milestone anniversary!
Commitment Ceremony
Perhaps you would like to celebrate you life-long commitment to each other? A Commitment Ceremony allows a couple of any gender to make a declaration of love and commitment to each other without the legalities. It is purely about your loyalty and devotion to each other. As there are no legal constraints you have the freedom to host it where and when you like and include whatever is right for you.
A commitment or affirmation ceremony allows you to declare your love and commitment to each other in front of family and friends. These ceremonies are always deeply personal to those involved and really reflect their unconditional love and dedication.
This is your ceremony, your commitment – together we will make it a celebration of your love and respect for each other.
Unity Ceremony
If you like the idea of adding something a bit different to your celebrations, then unity ceremonies may be perfect for you! Perhaps ‘tying the knot’ with a handfasting or a sand ceremony to untie a family appeals to you. There are plenty to choose from and we can create new ones just for you too.
Unity ceremonies are not just for couples and can play a key part in any ceremony. Perhaps you would like to symbolise the arrival of your child by lighting a candle in their honour, or planting a tree to watch it grow and flourish.
It may be important to you, to include cultural or religious rituals to represent your upbringing or heritage. We can work together to make sure that these are respectfully included in your ceremony.
