In the last 15 years of English Wedding I’ve watched – happily – as celebrant-led weddings have grown in popularity.

If you’ve only just started planning your wedding, and you’re not sure which kind of celebrant to choose for your wedding, I’m here to explain the differences in really simple terms to help you decide.
