The Legal Aspect: Currently in England and Wales only Registrars and designated religious clergy & officiants can legally complete the paperwork for the marriage documents.  This means that (for the time being) this part remains separate to a Wedding Celebration Ceremony.

Couples arrange to visit their local Register Office to formalise the paperwork at a time convenient to them. Most couples make the arrangements a day or two before and attend wearing ‘jeans and T shirts’ without any guests. We suggest they don't exchange rings before the Registrar. Most wedding guests don’t even realise the legal aspect has been completed earlier, and are always pleasantly surprised at how personal their celebrant led service is!

You will leave your FOIC Training course enthused and confident with regard to meeting the couple, discussing, planning and delivering their special day.

FOIC ‘hone’ your presentation to make you outstanding as a celebrant. We also provide ‘Added Value’ learning, skills well above and beyond your expectations.

Online Training: Celebrants training online MUST attend a classroom location for half a day to demonstrate proof of proficiency in the skills and knowledge learned.
