Ceremony Guidelines

Outside ceremonies

It is lovely to hold the Ceremony outside, especially on a beautiful sunny day, but if you want the ceremony to be held in the Garden, there must also be a suitable room inside – a contingency plan - to hold the ceremony comfortably, if bad weather prevails and prevents this happening.

Insurance

No-one wants accidents to happen, but sometimes they do, so it’s worth ensuring that your domestic insurance policy covers third party liability for any visitors to your home.

Health and Safety Issues

Sorry to preach this but in this day and age we have to be so careful.

All entrances and exits to and from the ceremony area should be clear and safe to use.

All constructions in gardens, such as marquees and gazebos should be well erected, safe and secure.

Any outside electrical equipment, e.g. lights or sound equipment must be safe and there should be no trailing wires or cables. Duck tape and purpose–made cable covers should be used and cables kept well away from walkway areas.
