FAQ’s about having a Celebrant led wedding ceremony

Hopefully you can find your answer in the FAQ's below, but if not, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via email.

FAQ’S Legalities in France & Mallorca

  • Not exactly. Celebrant-led ceremonies in France and Mallorca are symbolic, not legally binding. For a legal marriage:

    • France: Civil marriage must be performed at a town hall (mairie) by a civil registrar. At least one of you must meet residency requirements (commonly living in the commune for 30–40 days or having another local connection).

    • Mallorca / Spain: Civil weddings also require local registration or residency (“empadronamiento”)

    Many couples who live abroad complete the civil/legal marriage in their home country then have a celebrant-led ceremony in France or Mallorca. I guide couples through this process so your symbolic wedding is smooth, stress-free and unforgettable.

FAQ’S Celebrant-Led Ceremonies

  • A celebrant-led wedding is a personalised, symbolic ceremony with a traditional flow and designed around your story, values, and vision as a couple. Unlike a civil marriage, it allows you to include personal vows, readings, music, rituals, and even optional religious or spiritual elements, creating a truly meaningful celebration.

  •  Celebrant-led ceremonies are flexible, creative and very personalised. Whether you want something romantic, heartfelt, humorous, or a mix, I will craft a ceremony that reflects your relationship, your personalities, and your day’s style. Many couples choose this approach for destination weddings in France or Mallorca, or when they want a deeply emotional ceremony that the law alone cannot provide.

  • Yes! As an independent celebrant, I can incorporate blessings, prayers, hymns or other spiritual traditions into your ceremony. I keep it personal, meaningful, and tailored to you, whether you’re religious, spiritual, or simply want symbolic rituals. Your wedding, your way.

FAQ’S Planning Your Ceremony

  • The sooner the better — especially for destination weddings in France or Mallorca. The best celebrants get booked up quickly. That said, I sometimes have last-minute availability and have produced a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony with only three weeks’ notice.

  • Absolutely! Around 99% of my couples meet me online, via video call. Distance is no barrier . I will guide you through every step, from concept to ceremony day and create something special no matter where you are in the world.

  • As much or as little as you like. I often work with busy couples so my process is efficient, stress-free and flexible. Whether you want to be deeply involved in every detail or leave most of the planning to me, your ceremony will still be personal, meaningful, and beautifully crafted.

  •  Yes! I provide rehearsal support. If you book me to come to a rehearsal the day before, it ensures everyone knows their role and positioning so you feel relaxed, confident, and ready to enjoy your moment on the big day.

FAQ’S Ceremony Style & Experience

  • Completely! I adapt to your style — romantic, elegant, heartfelt, playful or a mix. Your ceremony will feel authentic, natural and personal.

  • Most celebrant-led ceremonies last around 30 minutes. I tailor the timing to include everything that’s meaningful to you, from personal vows to readings and rituals.

  •  Absolutely! Readings, songs, live music and symbolic moments all enhance the ceremony. I’ll help you plan them so everything feels seamless and special.
