Celebrant
vs
Registrar
Who to pick?
Here’s the deal…
A Civil Registrar does the legal stuff. It’s an important job—but the ceremony is scripted, formal, and there’s no flexibility. You don’t get to choose who shows up, or how it’s said. No room for creativity, personality, or soul.
But a Celebrant?
Total freedom.
~ Freedom to tell your story your way.
~ Freedom to add rituals, readings, music, or moments of pure mischief.
~ Freedom to make it unapologetically, unmistakably yours.
So what about the legal bit?
Simple.
Give notice at your local register office (at least 29 days before).
Pop in on a different day for the legal bits with two witnesses.
Boom—you’re officially hitched.
Think of it as the quiet prelude to your real wedding day—the one where you declare your love in front of your favourite people with a ceremony that feels made just for you.
Because it was.
And when it comes to that day?
You’ll get a pro storyteller, in the form of Cerith + The Celebration - turning “I DO” into the best story ever told.
