Hold a commitment ceremony

Make a public declaration to your partner

Commitment ceremonies are for adult couples of any gender who are unable, or choose not, to have a legal marriage or civil partnership. It is an opportunity to publicly declare their life-long commitment, love and dedication to each other.

Ceremonies are an expression of love and devotion celebrated with family and friends where you can make promises and vows to each other, exchange rings and include poems and readings in your memorable ceremony.

The ceremony has no legal standing but it is an opportunity for an important symbolic commemoration and public gesture of love and support to each other. The resulting certificate marks the occasion, but cannot be used for identification.

Our fully trained celebrants can provide a bespoke ceremony as individual as the couple arranging it.
