Commitment ceremonies

A commitment ceremony is a meaningful and dignified ceremony for adult couples not wishing to marry or enter a civil partnership. It is a public declaration of lifelong love, commitment and dedication between two people.

These ceremonies have no legal status but allow couples to re-affirm their vows and/or celebrate their renewed commitment to each other. Ceremonies can be individually designed and special friends and relatives can also be invited to take part in the ceremony
