When it comes to planning your wedding, the most important question is: what do you want? Not what tradition dictates, not what everyone expects, but what reflects you as a couple. Enter the celebrant wedding—a modern alternative to the conventional ceremony that offers flexibility, creativity, and a completely personalised experience. The ceremony SHOULD be up there with the most important part of your day, it shouldn't be the part you want to get "over and done with" . So here's why celebrant weddings are top trumps for every couple:
A Ceremony That's Truly About You
One of the biggest perks of a celebrant-led wedding is that it’s all about you. Instead of a standard script or stiff formalities, your celebrant works with you to create a ceremony that reflects your unique love story, values, and personalities. Want to include inside jokes, special readings, or personal vows that might not fit into a traditional ceremony? You absolutely can. Whether you're free spirits, sentimental romantics, or a pair of jokesters, your wedding can be designed to match exactly who you are. Oh and you can include swears!!!!!!!! Which is right up my f*cking street!
Do Shots with Your Guests (Yes, Really!)
Celebrant weddings break down barriers and let you do things your way—including the fun stuff like doing shots with your guests! Want to raise a glass of tequila after you say “I do” or include a toast during the ceremony? With a celebrant, you can weave in fun, spontaneous moments that bring everyone together. It’s your party, after all, and the energy you set will carry through the day, making it unforgettable for both you and your guests.
"Tie the Knot"—Literally
The term “tying the knot” can take on a whole new meaning at a celebrant wedding. Why not incorporate a hand-fasting, where you and your partner’s hands are literally tied together with ribbons to symbolise your union? Or you could include sand pouring, jumping the broomstick, candle lighting, ring warming in fact, theres so many ways you can symbolise that union you have. Whether you choose to incorporate cultural traditions, create new ones, or forgo them altogether, your options are limitless when working with a celebrant.
Play a Game, Get Everyone Involved
If you're the type of couple who loves to keep things light-hearted and interactive, why not include a game in your ceremony? Imagine your guests participating in a quiz about your relationship or playing an ice-breaker game to get to know each other better. With no restrictions, you can add as much interaction as you like, ensuring your wedding is engaging and memorable for everyone. Celebrant weddings are about making the day feel as inclusive and warm as possible, and games are a fantastic way to get everyone involved.
No Time Constraints
One of the great advantages of a celebrant wedding is the absence of strict timelines. Unlike traditional venues or religious institutions that often have set hours or schedules to stick to, celebrant ceremonies can be as long or as short as you want. Whether you want a quick, intimate exchange of vows or a more elaborate ceremony, you have the freedom to take your time and fully enjoy every moment.
Photos You Will Treasure Forever
When you're not bound by rigid formalities, your wedding day feels more relaxed, natural, and fun—making for some truly magical photos. Celebrant-led ceremonies are often more spontaneous, allowing for those candid moments of laughter and love to be captured. From snapping a shot of you as a couple exchanging glances during a meaningful reading, to the cheers and emotion of your guests witnessing the moments in front of them, you'll walk away with photos that genuinely reflect the emotions of your day.
No Formalities That Don’t Resonate with You
Traditional weddings often come with a list of formalities that might not resonate with every couple—whether it’s religious rites, a specific order of events, or even dress codes. Celebrant weddings give you the freedom to throw out anything that doesn’t feel like “you.” Don’t want to walk down the aisle and be given away? WALK DOWN TOGETHER! Want your dog to deliver the rings? Go for it! With no pressure to stick to conventions, you’re free to create a day that truly celebrates your love in a way that feels comfortable and authentic to you.
The Ultimate Wedding, Your Way
At the end of the day, a wedding is about celebrating the love between you and your partner. A celebrant wedding gives you the creative freedom to do just that—without the constraints of religion or formality. Whether you’re looking to involve your guests in the fun, share shots with your besties, or craft a heartfelt ceremony that reflects your journey, a celebrant wedding offers the ultimate flexibility. Your day will be unique, personal, and most importantly, unforgettable. And that’s what makes celebrant weddings top trumps for every couple.
