Ceremonies for couples
When it comes to marking life’s big moments, more and more couples in the UK are turning to celebrants to create unique, meaningful ceremonies that truly reflect who they are.
At Cara Ceremonies I can create and lead a wide range of ceremonies for couples, including:
Weddings: A celebrant-led wedding can take place anywhere - on a beach, in your garden, at a venue with special meaning, and include any wording, rituals, or cultural traditions you wish. (Note: in England and Wales, you still need to complete the legal registration separately at a registry office or with a registrar.)
Civil Partnership Ceremonies: Celebrant-led ceremonies for civil partnerships are common for couples who have had a legal registration and want a meaningful, bespoke ceremony. These can include vows, readings, music, and symbolic elements (like handfasting).
Vow Renewals: A popular way for couples to reaffirm their love after a milestone anniversary or life event.
Commitment Ceremonies: Perfect for couples who want a meaningful celebration without the legal aspect.
Elopement Ceremonies: Small, intimate celebrations, often in unique or remote locations.
Ceremonies for end of life
At Cara Ceremonies we help to create, lead, and officiate a wide range of end-of-life ceremonies, tailored to the wishes, beliefs, and needs of the deceased and their loved ones — without being tied to any specific religious institution or fixed tradition.
Funeral Services: The main farewell ceremony at a crematorium, cemetery, woodland burial site, or other venue — can be completely non-religious, semi-religious, or spiritual but not affiliated with a particular faith.
Memorial Services: A gathering to remember the deceased, which can happen weeks, months, or even years after the death — especially useful if there is no body present (e.g., ashes scattered elsewhere).
Celebration of Life Ceremonies: A more uplifting, personal event focused on celebrating the person’s life, achievements, personality, and memories — often more informal than a traditional funeral.
Graveside or Committal Services: Short ceremonies at the burial site or when interring or scattering ashes — can be held alone or as an addition to another service.
Ashes Scattering Ceremonies: A bespoke ritual when ashes are scattered at a meaningful place, often including readings, poems, or symbolic acts.
Anniversary or Remembrance Events: Marking a significant date, such as the anniversary of a death or birth, with a meaningful gathering.
Living Funerals: Less common but growing — a person chooses to have a ceremony celebrating their life before they die, often when they have a terminal diagnosis.
Pet Memorials: Ceremonies for beloved pets, which can be deeply comforting for families.
Bespoke Ceremonies
Working with a celebrant gives you the freedom to hold a unique ceremony that’s as individual as your story - whatever the occasion.
Whether you’re planning a business achievement, a graduation celebration or marking any other personal or corporate milestone, a celebrant can help you create memories you’ll cherish forever.
