Commitment Ceremonies

So, you and your partner have reached the point where you are ready to make a public declaration of your love and commitment to each other.

The decision to commit to each other is a momentous time in any couple’s relationship and celebrating this union with a ceremony is a beautiful way to share this decision.

As a celebrant, I can provide a caring and considerate service for those in the community that wish to celebrate their commitment to each other.

I consider a commitment ceremony to have the same value as a traditional wedding ceremony - it carries the same weight of importance, even without the legal status.

I will take care in tailoring a Commitment Ceremony that works for both of you – that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

Together we’ll discuss what is important to you and I will craft a perfect ceremony experience.  I will incorporate elements of your shared lives and create a ceremony that will have meaning for both of you as well as your gathered family and friends.

Your Commitment Ceremony may be formal and quite traditional or relaxed and flexible. I will be happy to conduct your ceremony at any location – whether inside or outside, or on land, sea or air!

A Commitment Ceremony has no prescribed wording, so that gives us great freedom to create an experience that is perfect for you. I can offer a range of options for you to consider and together, we can refine your unique ceremony.

A Commitment Ceremony is treated with the same care and importance as a marriage ceremony, however there is no requirement for legal documentation.

Every Commitment Ceremony includes:

• Professional delivery of your ceremony
• Rehearsal with a detailed, minute-by-minute ceremony running sheet
• Initial meeting and unlimited follow-up meetings – as a couple and as individuals
• Open contact for any questions
• Sample ceremonies for ideas
• Sample vows for inspiration
• Sample Commitment Ceremony certificates
  
• Your own copy of the ceremony for you to keep
• PA system for music with CD, ipod, or USB thumbdrive options
