Why have a Celebrant Wedding?

Why have a Wedding Celebrant  – good question.

As you’ll see from our answer in the FAQ’s section, you can’t get legally married in Fuerteventura unless you’re an island resident. That’s primarily why we trained with the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants CLICK HERE ( https://www.professionalcelebrants.org.uk ), to offer couples a ceremony on this beautiful island to celebrate their love and commitment.

There are many other reasons to consider a Wedding Celebrant, whether it’s here in Fuerteventura, or anywhere else for that matter.

Your ceremony will be totally you. You only include what you want, say what you want to say and make the promises you want to make.

Some people are put off civil weddings with a registrar, or church ceremonies, because of the restrictions each enforces.  For example, in a registrar wedding, you cannot mention or reference any religion or God. So if you are spiritual on any level that has to be left out. On the other hand, some churches have too may “hoops to jump through” for many couples.

There are also restrictions on the time of day and location which may not suit you.

With a Celebrant Wedding, you don’t even necessarily have to get legally married if you don’t want to. The ceremony becomes just what you want it to be.

Some of this may be hard to get your head around. Don’t worry, we can talk you through all the options, the most important thing is that you have a moment in time to acknowledge how you both feel and share it with those you want to.

As we said in the FAQ, think of it like a birth or a death – you register it and then have a separate ceremony to mark the occasion. If you want to do the legal bit in the UK it takes about 10 minutes and it only costs a few quid at your local registry office. Then you have your ceremony, with whoever you want, wherever you want.
