A ceremony specially designed for married couples, who wish to renew their wedding vows in a uniquely personal way. Perhaps you want to celebrate a special anniversary, such as the 10th, 25th or 40th anniversary, or even to mark coming through a difficult time in your relationship. It is also fitting for couples who have been married abroad and wish to have another celebration back home to share the experience with the guests who could not attend the overseas ceremony.

Every ceremony is unique, with options chosen from a ceremony booklet, and can include your own choice of words, music and readings with a special significance and perhaps an exchange of rings or gift. You may also wish to include words to acknowledge your family and friends. The ceremony ends with the signing of a commemorative certificate.

Our team of friendly and professional registrars are happy to help you plan your perfect ceremony.

For further advice and assistance, please contact any of our offices.
