Which is better? Maybe this will help you decide...
Celebrant ceremonies are free from restriction which means you can get married, anytime, anywhere (yep really!), and exactly in the way you want to.
Want to involve family members? Sure! Symbolic rituals? Definitely! Mixing traditions from your different cultures and religions? Sure thing! The possibilities are endless...
This means you get a truly personalised ceremony that includes all the elements you want and that really tells your story in a way that shows off your personality. Plus, your celebrant will put a whole load of love into giving you the most special wedding ceremony that you will remember forever!
When it comes to registrar ceremonies it's a very different story. You can only get married in a licensed venue and the script is the same for every single couple. You also won't be allowed to include any religious elements and you won't meet your register until the day!
The advantage is, registrars can perform the legal aspect and a celebrant can't. BUT this shouldn't stop you from having a celebrant. You can very easily tick off this legal side by going to a register office before your wedding and still have a celebrant on the day (see next FAQ).
For all the fun, personalisation and joy a celebrant ceremony will give you and your guests... it's a no-brainer really!
