A WEDDING or CIVIL PARTNERSHIP CELEBRATION CEREMONY with your Sussex based Wedding Celebrant Mark Inscoe
I am a civil wedding celebrant based in Brighton, East Sussex. I offer marriage ceremonies throughout the South East and South of England. These are mostly non-religious ceremonies, although my flexibility as a civil wedding celebrant allows for some religious content as an option.
Destination Weddings

I also offer my celebrant services for Destination Luxury Wedding Ceremonies; Perhaps you are considering a Mediterranean wedding in a luxury historic hotel or one of the many beautiful fincas in Mallorca? June/July 2024, I have just completed two very contrasting Weddings in the stunning Port de Pollenca – one on board a vintage Ketch! Perhaps you considering something further afield – a beach wedding on a tropical Caribbean island?



More choice with a bespoke ceremony
Until recently, most couples in the UK expected to celebrate their union with a religious ceremony, following cultural and societal traditions. We are evolving to offer more choice -Your choice; equality of opportunity, where all couples have the same legal rights and choices must be celebrated. I am keen to promote LGBTQ+ weddings and civil partnerships.

A COMMITMENT CEREMONY with your Wedding Celebrant Mark Inscoe
As a couple, you may be happy with a ceremony which is not legally biding – a ceremony to declare your promises of commitment to one another, either privately or a declaration witnessed by your family and/or friends. The content of this ceremony can be as simple or as elaborate as you choose. In fact, it can closely mirror a wedding celebration ceremony.
A RENEWAL OF VOWS CEREMONY with your Wedding Celebrant Mark Inscoe
One of the most important parts of any couples ceremony is the moment they declare their vows to each other – sincere promises of love and tolerance and care throughout their union. Some couples choose to mark special wedding anniversaries with a ceremony to renew their vows to one another. They serve as a reminder of the vows made when they first ‘tied the knot’. A new beginning or just a boost to emphasise the true love which they share.
A very intimate ‘Renewal of Vows’ ceremony to celebrate 15th wedding anniversary of S & J on the 25th September 2024. They had both been married before, and this classic song could’ve been written for them! Myself, Mark Inscoe – civilcelebrantsussex – utilised my singing skills to close their ceremony with a song! ‘The Second Time Around’ (by Cahn/Van Heusen) ;
Working together
My role, as a professionally trained civil celebrant, is to collaborate with you to create a fully bespoke ceremony with your story, your love as the focus, delivering the most personal and memorable part of your special day, . This takes time, skill and passion;
βA little bit of me and a whole lot of youβ¦..β

Our first meeting
I will arrange an initial meeting with you for a couple of hours to discuss your wishes and learn your story so I can begin to compose your ceremony script. You will undoubtedly have music, poetry and readings in mind, but I can help with suggestions if you need guidance. If required, we can arrange a second meeting, perhaps at your chosen venue, or maybe a rehearsal.
As a Civil Celebrant in England, I have the flexibility to make your ceremony anything you want it to be –
- Non-religious
- Some religious content if you choose
- Introducing cultural elements to reflect your lifestyles, family or racial traditions
- Themed ceremonies which reflect your interests, hobbies or passions
- At your chosen location – An historic venue, a favourite landmark, on a beach, a boat or ship, on a mountainside or just at your home! *(a celebrant-led ceremony is non-statutory, so you don’t need a licenced venue.)
SYMBOLIC ACTIONS to add highlights to your ceremony with Sussex based Celebrant Mark Inscoe
The ancient tradition of ‘HANDFASTING’. now increasingly popular in modern couples ceremonies….

You may like to incorporate a symbolic moment into your ceremony. There are many options, such as Rings, Unity Candles or Handfasting – this traditional symbolic action has its origins in Celtic culture and is becoming increasingly popular again. I can offer several different Handfasting techniques.


Or perhaps a meaningful ‘Unity Candle’ mini-ceremony….
go green with a Symbolic Tree-Planting…..
A ‘Souvenir’ Certificate

Well before your special day, I will send you a draft of the script for you to adjust or approve. On the day, you will receive a souvenir copy of the ceremony script.
A personalised Souvenir Certificate will be presented during your Ceremony, to sign, for a great photo opportunity!
We will work together to make your day a dream come true, a celebration of the love you share.
YOUR DAY ~ YOUR WAY
We renewed our Wedding Vows on our Crystal Anniversary ( 15th) A private one just for us.
We could not have been happier ! Mark is amazing, such a personable, enthusiastic Celebrant, wanting to get to know the US and our story to tailor our ceremony perfectly. Throughout got to know us so well and what we were about as a couple. He made the Service so personal to us, it was perfect. He picked a perfect reading for us and sang a beautiful song at the end. He is so talented and just lovely. He delivered it all with grace, poise, humour and and a real emphasis on the love we have have for each other. We didn’t know about the ” Handfasting” tradition, but so glad he told us about it, really gave it an extra special touch and a keepsake. You will see in the pictures. From start to finish we are so made up with everything he created for us and that we shared it with him. We can not recommend him highly enough. We had a couple of hiccups with our venue and the weather, but he accommodated us when we had to make the changes without a bother. We love him x
