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 !!

Many hours of work goes on behind the scenes and our fees are reasonable when you consider this

Cost

Our Celebrants will discuss fees at the first contact. The amount may vary depending on the time needed and distances travelled but you will typically pay up to £350 in England – more if the celebrant has to travel some distance.

In Portugal our fees are typically €350 (euros) depending on the location and the amount of work involved.

Alan Sutton

You may have contacted me about conducting a ceremony here on the Algarve. I am still recovering from a major operation so I have held back from agreeing to perform any ceremonies myself even into 2007.

I am pleased to tell you that my good friend, Manuel is conducting the ceremonies and is doing a fantastic job. We will be working closely together in the future

Of course my business is transport & cars & I would be very happy to provide any transport on your day and of course any airport transfers are our business too! I will look after you and your guests and give them a good rate if they tell me they are from your party!

The very best to you and if there is anything else I can help with please ask !!
