When the big day finally arrives, your celebrant will set the tone of your ceremony, whether it be poignant and romantic, playful, or following a specific theme.
First, you will need to confirm if the celebrant is available for your wedding date, if they can travel to your venue, and if their services fit into your budget. Getting a feel for their experience can help ease your worries, so you might ask about the number of ceremonies they've officiated and the type of weddings they've performed. Lastly, your initial consultation is the perfect time to discuss your desired ceremony style and ensure they are comfortable with what you have in mind.
Whether you prefer a brief ceremony or one full of poignant anecdotes or special rituals, your celebrant should match your vision. Take the time to discuss needs and preferences with each professional, and get to know their experience and style.
While celebrant is an umbrella term for a person who leads a ceremony, a solemnizer is a professional who can make your ceremony official in a legal capacity.
