Wine Ceremony


In the Wine Ceremony, the couple can either choose to pour one white glass and one red glass to create a blush that they will both drink from. Alternatively, there can be a pouring of one glass that they both will drink from. This symbolises drinking from the cup of life and sharing all of its experiences together, both bitter and sweet.

Unity Sand Ceremony 


The Unity Sand Ceremony is ideal for weddings, unions, and naming ceremonies. This ceremony option symbolises the joining of the couple or family. It is also a great method for involving children of the couple getting married or from previous relationships.

Unity Candle Ceremony


The Unity Candle ceremony is practiced across many beliefs. It is a symbol of two people coming together, joined by their families. In the ceremony, there are three candles. The dinner candles represent you as individuals before your vows and ring exchange. The centre candle represents your marriage and this is light from your single candles after the vows and ring exchange.

Hand Wrapping Ceremony / Handfasting Ceremony


The original meaning of ‘tying the knot’. A Celtic tradition where the hands are tied with ribbons/cloth to symbolise the bringing together of the two hearts in a marriage of strength and unity forever. You can get family and friends involved. In this ceremony, you pick colors that represent something in your life. 

Ring Warming Ceremony 


Incorporating a ring warming into your wedding is such a special way to involve all of your guests in your ceremony. A ring warming is when you give your loved ones the opportunity to hold and imbue your wedding bands with awish, blessing or prayer for your marriage. By the time your rings make it on to your fingers they will be saturated with the love of your friends and family. ⠀
