It’s coming up to that special day, the day you and your beloved partner tie the knot. There’s nowhere more perfect to hold the ceremony than in picturesque Darwen, among the darreners, and the forested parks. There’s a lot more to planning a wedding however than just the location, and that it self can get tricky. These days you’re not restricted to the local cathedral, you could have the ceremony by a river, in the park, or simply in the home of a loved one. On top of this, you’re no longer restricted to the traditional words and content that come with the religious tradition. Your ceremony can contain anything, and marriage celebrants know how to get the best out of you, how to get you to write a ceremony that truly reflects who you are as people and your love for each other. Here are the top 6 marriage celebrants we found in Darwen.
Annette Furley
Annette feels incredibly privileged to be able to take part in and witness people’s declaration of commitment to each other, along with their family, friends and loved ones. One of the best parts of her job is being able to do this over and over again, each new ceremony and couple feeling brand new. Because that’s what you get with Annette, a bespoke service designed for, by and around you and who you are as people. Leading up to the day, Annette will work closely with you to help you find the perfect location, whether it be in a forest, a home, a hot air balloon! That’s up to you. She will also help you find the perfect content for the ceremony. This can be special words you wrote for each other, as well as music, poems, readings, and any other unique things you might like to include such as a hand fasting, or a symbolic gesture like lighting a candle. Annette has done it all and would love to meet you.
The Ceremony Company
Behind the modern and appealing digital presence of The Ceremony Company is the lovely professional celebrant Louise Burns, who founded the company to give couples and their families more choices for their ceremony needs.

The Lancashire Celebrant
With the current legalities on independent celebrancy in question, at least in the United Kingdom, there are many options out there for those who want to be married legally while also having the dream ceremony they always pictured. Many people in these situations decide to have a civil union at the registrar office in the eyes of a couple of witnesses, and then invite everyone to the big ceremony of their choice. If you simply wish to represent each others commitment to each other then you can forgo the trip to the registrar, and focus on your amazing ceremony. That’s the point where pros like the Lancashire Celebrant come in. He’ll work with you intimately to plan the ceremony down to every detail. And if you don’t like the results, he’ll re write it!

Steve really believes that people can commit to each other lovingly for life without there needing to be any religious or supernatural component. If you choose Steven Kenealy, your ceremony will about you, about your story, your background, what you consider to be your culture. He is a veteran of the British Humanist Association and after years of working with new people to create these special moments, he still feels like each new client is a unique, brand new situation. Every single humanist ceremony is a beautifully tailor made affair that you’ll never forget.
