Cerridwen and Taliesin are Wiccan Priests with over 20years experience.
Handfasting is quite popular today, among many people who find that their own lifestyles call for an alternative joining ceremony to that provided by more typical weddings.
In England, celebrants do not have legal status, unlike Scotland where celebrants can be licenced.
In England, and Wales, a civil ceremony can take place at the same venue, to make the marriage legal. This is followed by the Handfasting ritual. Or the couple can marry at the Registrar Office in their own time, and have the Handfasting at a later date. Some couples don't want a legal ceremony and just have the Handfasting Rite.
The popularity of wedding themes, such as medieval, fantasy, etc. has helped increase the number of requests for Handfastings. Couples are wanting something more than just "I do". They want a day to remember.
Cerridwen and Taliesin will provide just that.
Elemental altars beautifully decorated with floral garlands,and representations of the four elements, are provided to form the sacred space. Ribbons in colours to match the wedding theme, are used to tie the couple together. To include the families, we ask parents to tie ribbons to, as a symbol of the joining of two families.
Cerridwen and Taliesin have performed many such ceremonies, for delighted couples. For more details just send us a message or email, and we will be delighted to help you plan your very personalized ceremony.
Same sex Handfastings are welcome too.
Renewing your vows? Why not celebrate with a Handfasting, and remember that special day for another 25 years.
