Introduction: Personalisation is the Future of Weddings

In 2025, weddings will be more personalised than ever.

The 2025 Hitched Wedding Trends Report makes it clear that more and more couples are no longer satisfied with generic ceremonies. They want something that reflects who they are, and this is where wedding celebrants shine

Why Personalisation Matters

Personalisation allows couples to make their wedding a true reflection of their relationship.

From custom vows to incorporating family traditions or religious elements, celebrants can offer a level of flexibility and creativity that church or registrar wedding services simply can’t.

How Celebrants Can Lead the Way in Personalised Weddings

Celebrants are at the heart of the personalisation trend. Here’s how you can offer couples a truly custom experience:

1) Create Custom Rituals

Whether it’s a handfasting ceremony, a unity candle, or a custom-written vow exchange, celebrants can offer unique elements that make the ceremony one-of-a-kind.

2) Mix Cultural Traditions

As couples blend different cultural backgrounds, celebrants can help them create ceremonies that honour both traditions, making the wedding meaningful for everyone involved.

3) Work with Unconventional Venues 

Celebrate anywhere!

Unlike with registrars, celebrants can perform weddings in any location, giving couples the freedom to say “I do” wherever they dream.

It could be on a river island, beach, wood, moorland, private garden, gastro pub or any other wedding venue whether it is “licensed” or not. Even with “licensed”, registrars are restricted by law to perform their marriage ceremonies in certain rooms of “platforms” registered with the local council.

A celebrant can be flexible and adaptable. The weather has changed and so has the couple’s plans? Not a problem for a celebrant.

Celebrants in High Demand

With the demand for personalised weddings growing, there has never been a better time to become a celebrant. Couples are looking for someone who can bring their unique love story to life, and celebrants are the answer.
