Wedding Ceremonies

Neal Foster, The Marriage Celebrant can provide you with a truly beautiful wedding ceremony.

Listed below are some of the wedding ceremonies Neal can perform and some of the elements that can be incorporated in your wedding ceremony.

Traditional Wedding
95% of couples want a nice non - religious ceremony.

This is one of Neal’s specialties.

You can have a beautiful meaningful ceremony without having any religion or religious components in your ceremony.

Religious Ceremony
If one of you has been married before and the church says no, it doesn’t mean you can’t be married in a chapel with a celebrant and have religious readings.

Neal can organise a beautiful religious ceremony for you.

















Candles can be incorporated to represent the blending of the two lives or families or both (not recommended for outdoor ceremonies).

Sand can be incorporated to represent the blending of the two lives or families or both too but involves more visible symbolism.

Sand can be incorporated to represent the blending of families and the importance of all of the members of the family in this blended family union. This provides great visible symbolism and involvement from all members of the family unit.

This is a great way to involve the crowd and get them to pass on their best wishes to you.

This is where the saying “tying the knot” comes from.

The tying of the knot symbolises unity and eternity and was featured in the movie Braveheart with Mel Gibson.

Scottish couples love this ceremony and often use their family tartan for this.

Dad, Mum, Mum and Dad, brother, sister, uncle, aunty or grandparents normally give the bride away. This is a great way to acknowledge their importance.
