A Kentish Wedding Ceremony

A Kentish Wedding ceremony in an Approved Premise enables a bride and groom to choose their own marriage ceremony.  This is achieved by couples either writing their own ceremony or making selections from our choices booklet for each part of their ceremony.

Many couples write their own ceremony to include words, promises and vows personal and exclusive to themselves. Our Ceremonies Teams are happy to discuss and offer advice about the ceremony content, which must be non-religious and include legally required vows and declarations of marriage.

It is important that the marriage ceremony chosen by the bride and groom is appropriate to them, their experiences and beliefs and their family and guests. The involvement of families and guests in A Kentish Wedding gives a personal warmth and quality to the ceremony for all that are present.

Poetry and Music

Family and friends often take part in the ceremony.  They can read poetry or prose and give a message of celebration on behalf of the happy couple.

Everyone can enjoy the couple's choice of music, which may be contemporary or traditional.  These can add a magical and mystical quality to the wedding ceremony.  String quartets, live groups, jazz and soloists also provide a distinctive and memorable addition for all the guests to appreciate.

... and to commemorate your wedding anniversary

Couples can arrange A Kentish Renewal of Marriage Vows ceremony at many of these venues.  This ceremony is for married couples who wish to celebrate in a unique and personal way their original marriage vows to each other, their married years together and also to renew their future commitment to one another.
