Your North East Wedding - Mar/Apr 2020 (Issue 37)

YOUR DAY YOUR WAY Glenwright Celebrancy is honoured to have reached regional finals in The Wedding Industry Awards, which was voted for by couples. After a successful year of helping couples on such an important day, the company's over-the- moon with this achievement. With the use of a celebrant, lovebirds can have a truly special and more personal experience with a bespoke ceremony including symbolic and cultural elements if desired. The choice of venues is endless as celebrants are not confined to licensed premises. The legal aspect of any marriage can be completed in the registry office – it takes around 15 minutes with two witnesses – then couples will be able to use an independent celebrant.
