What’s the difference between a Marriage Ceremony and a Wedding Ceremony.

Are you in the process of planning your dream wedding ceremony and feeling overwhelmed with all the options available?

I’m Celebrant Rosie Anstey, a Certified Civil Wedding Celebrant, here to answer some of your questions, and guide you through the options.

Let’s dive into the differences between a Marriage Ceremony and a Wedding Ceremony.

A Marriage Ceremony is the legal part that gets the paperwork sorted where two individuals legally bind themselves in marriage according to the laws of the country or state.

It often includes traditional vows, and sometimes the exchange of rings, and will be officiated by a religious or civil authority and follows a set format.

It takes place in a registered place of worship, licensed office or venue which is open to the public.

How to have a wedding day to remember!

The question every couple wants the answer to, how to have the wedding day everyone will remember?

“I think it is empowering that couples are taking control of how they want to share the experience of their marriage. Couples from all backgrounds are realising they do not want to be told how to celebrate their love.”

What is the best way to remember something I hear you ask? Well, I can answer that question with my lifelong experience of being a teacher it is through experience.

Everyone knows what a standard wedding looks like. There is nothing wrong with tha…
