Our Simple Ceremony, is a legal civil wedding, held in most of our ceremony rooms. You may invite up to eight guests and it is suitable for those wanting a simple, effortless and intimate ceremony.
It is effortless for you, as no forward preparation is required. We take care of the arrangements, conducting an elegant ceremony which is accompanied by a selection of graceful music supplied by your Celebrant for your entrance and departure.
The ceremony includes being escorted into the room, exchange of legal vows and declarations, the exchange of rings and ring vows, the signing of the legal schedule with photo opportunities followed by a traditional Cornish reading.
You will choose a minimum of two of your special guests to act as your legal witnesses for the signing of the schedule, although you may include up to six witnesses if you prefer.
A Simple Ceremony can be held at most of our ceremony rooms located across Cornwall, each with an individual style; from traditional to contemporary.
