A symbolic ceremony, as the name suggests, is a celebration of your wedding that does not necessarily imply religion.
A symbolic ceremony represents an excellent opportunity for couples to express their values, beliefs, personality and to reveal their love story in their own way.
In essence, this type of ceremony is a declaration of love, which faithfully reflects the way you are as a couple.

How it’s made: the sky’s the limit
The officiant works closely with the couple when writing the script and adds the details that the two partners want to share in front of their loved ones.
The ceremony revolves around the love story of the two partners. The vows are personalised, as well as the exchange of rings or any other ritual that the couple wants (the sand-pouring ritual, the candle-lighting ritual, the wine box ritual, the love letter ritual etc).
You can include whatever suits you, from favourite music to speeches of your relatives and friends or any other romantic elements that reflect your personality.
Everything is customizable. The sky’s the limit, really, when it comes to a symbolic ceremony!
