You might be rather overwhelmed, thinking about all the elements which go into making the most perfect celebration of your marriage. As you dive into the thrilling world of wedding planning, one crucial aspect that can elevate your celebration is the ceremony itself. Mark Inscoe, an experienced civil celebrant based in Sussex, brings not only his expertise in crafting personalized ceremonies but also his extensive background as an actor, guaranteeing a crystal-clear, chic, and sophisticated presentation for your special day.
Setting the Date and Venue:
- Start your wedding journey by discussing potential wedding dates with your partner, perhaps selecting a date that holds significance for you both. Take into account the season, availability of loved ones, and any personal preferences.
- Explore various wedding venues that align with your vision – from rustic barns to beachside retreats, historic properties, exotic destinations or even in a garden or woodland – the choice is yours*. You may want to create a romantic fantasy wedding –
How about a ‘Bridgerton’ style wedding in a Georgian stately home? Or perhaps a ‘Lord of the Rings’ style woodland setting? the perfect opportunity to indulge in an eco-friendly celebration, demonstrating to your guests your love and care for the environment.
* By choosing a bespoke, celebrant-led ceremony, you do not need a licenced venue, as the legal bit will have been completed before your celebration; (unless, of course, you choose to have the registration and your celebrant-led ceremony done at the same venue and on the same day.)
