What you pay for

The fee covers meetings, writing the ceremony and delivering it on the day. Most celebrants help with readings, vows and rituals such as handfasting.

Ask whether the quote includes a rehearsal and a copy of the script.

The legal side

A celebrant ceremony is not on its own a legal wedding in England. You also need a legal ceremony, which you can do at a register office or with a registrar at an approved venue.

Many couples marry at the register office on a weekday for £310 and hold the celebrant ceremony on their main day. The legal cost is then on top.

Where it works well

Barns, gardens and village halls around Harrogate and Nidderdale suit a flexible ceremony. Prices here are a guide, so ask each celebrant for a quote.
