Every Celebrant in Provence ceremony is personally authored by Claire, our Founder and Lead Celebrant. From your Couple Questionnaire and first draft through to your final ceremony, Claire works closely with you to capture your story, personalities and relationship in words that feel entirely your own.
Whether Claire or one of our celebrants performs your ceremony on the day, the creative and writing process remains personally led by Claire.
WHO WILL WRITE OUR CEREMONY?
Claire is our Founder and Lead Celebrant and personally performs ceremonies throughout Provence. Depending on your language requirements, date and preferences, your ceremony may also be performed by one of our talented Celebrant in Provence celebrants, all personally trained by Claire in our distinctive approach and performance style.
WHO WILL PERFORM OUR CEREMONY?
Yes! We create ceremonies in fluent English, beautifully bilingual English and French, and fluent French where required.
Our English ceremonies are performed by Claire or one of our native English-speaking celebrants, while our bilingual ceremonies are performed by our native French bilingual celebrants, ensuring the nuances and subtleties of each language are beautifully understood.
DO YOU OFFER CEREMONIES IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH?
Celebrant in Provence is based in Provence in the South of France, with our celebrants performing ceremonies throughout Provence and the French Riviera. We are also available for selected destination weddings elsewhere in France and Europe.
A Civil Ceremony is performed by a Registrar in a Register Office or a Licensed Venue; there are significant differences. Civil Ceremonies are legally recognized, unlike a Celebrant-Led Wedding Ceremony, but they are bound by restrictions regarding the words spoken during the ceremony. For example, there can be no religious content at all.
Celebrant-Led Wedding Ceremonies have no restrictions and can include religious aspects to represent the couple’s individual and combined beliefs.
(NB: The legal formalities must be completed before a celebrant-led ceremony.)
We create bespoke, Grand Mesure ceremonies, individually authored around your story, personalities, beliefs and wishes. From elegant and romantic to modern, traditional or beautifully blended, no two Celebrant in Provence ceremonies are ever the same.
Celebrant in Provence offer you creative freedom to have a wedding that's as unique as your love story. You could choose a twilight wedding under the stars or an intimate couples-only celebration at your favourite romantic location. No Restrictions: No constraints on timing, format, style, or content.
Our ceremonies are symbolic and do not create a legal marriage. For most international couples marrying in France, the legal marriage takes place separately, allowing you the freedom to create a deeply personal ceremony for your celebration in Provence.
