Alternative Civil Partnership Ceremonies
Maybe you are contemplating a civil partnership but would like to have an Alternative Civil Partnership Ceremony into which you can incorprate spiritual and/or religious elements. Should it be your wish to have a ceremony where you can include whatever you like - and hold it wherever you wish - perhaps I can help you.
In order to have your perfect Alternative Civil Partnership Ceremony, it is necessary to separate the legal aspect of the civil partnership from the ceremony itself. Your ceremony can then be free from any restrictions and take place wherever and whenever you wish, incorporating your choice of poetry, music and readings as well as any spiritual or religious elements.
This can be done by going to the register office sometime before the ceremony to complete the legal formalities. All you need are two witnesses (who could be strangers) and you can save your vows and the exchanging of rings for your ceremony. Another option would be to hold your Alternative Civil Parternship Ceremony at a registered venue where the registrar could deal with the legal aspect on the same day, either before or after your ceremony.
The fee of £450 includes:
- an initial meeting to enable us to get to know each other
- the preparation of a draft for your approval, incorporating your choices of music, readings, poetry etc. plus any other requirements
- assisting you with the creation of your own unique vows
- modifications of the draft until you are completely happy with the ceremony
- a rehearsal
- conducting the ceremony on the day at the venue of your choice
Travel expenses may be payable
