Wedding Celebrant

Celebrants

Celebrants are friendly experienced people who can help prepare the words to be spoken, offer advice on readings and music, and explain the many small details that help make such a big occasion a success.

The celebrant usually meets or talks with the couple several times before the wedding/affirmation, firstly to discuss ideas and answer questions, then to thoroughly plan and rehearse every aspect of the ceremony so they feel relaxed and confident of all going well. Due to the distance involved this may be conducted over the internet or by phone, although it is not unusual for couples to visit us on the Algarve beforehand to plan the "big" day. We can help with all aspects of this planning. A good excuse for an extra holiday !!

Our Celebrants will discuss fees at the first contact. The amount may vary depending on the time needed and distances travelled.
