What do you get?
Firstly, the team at Simply Weddings are there to help you plan and organise your special day. Your planning is done online and it is free of charge. You are encouraged to personalise your wedding ceremony with your celebrant. On the day, you come along with your guests and have a normal wedding ceremony, Share some nibbles and drinks, and have photos with your family and friends as well as professional wedding portraits. You then typically would have a traditional cake cutting ceremony and any speeches that you wish. All this takes an hour and a half. Our weddings are organised on a mutually agreeable day (never on Saturdays). We cater for big and small weddings and the cost to you depends on how many guests you want to invite above our promoted numbers. We love small intimate weddings with your closest family and friends and then the next day you can take your cake, flowers etc and enjoy a celebration with additional friends. We look for affordable ways to make your day what you want it to be.
