Dorset Civil Ceremonies have been providing wedding ceremonies, baby naming ceremonies and civil funeral ceremonies throughout Dorset and Hampshire for more than 3 years. My name is Janice Smith and I have conducted over 350 ceremonies since I trained with the
Institute of Civil Ceremonies in February 2009.
I live in Christchurch and work throughout Dorset and Hampshire.Whether you are arranging a celebration of birth, a celebration of a relationship by way of marriage or celebration of the life of someone who has died, it is so good to know that nowadays we have a choice.
All of us, at various times in our lives, have something to celebrate.
I strongly believe that everyone should have the ceremony they want and I work closely with all my families to ensure that every detail is covered.It may be that you would want a ceremony that is completely non-religious or one that is partly religious.
It may be that you would like to hold your ceremony in an unusual venue - at home, at a beatiful nature spot, on a boat etc. or at an unusual time. Whatever it is that you would like at this important time, I can deliver a ceremony that is perfect for you. A Civil Ceremony is above all a ceremony that reflects individual wishes. It is one that is highly personal because each Civil Ceremony is individually written and delivered by a fully trained celebrant. In all cases I will visit you in good time to talk through the options and choices and together plan an inspirational ceremony to remember!
Together we will look at the content, the music, the input by others, appropriate poems, verses or sayings and inclusion of your wishes to make your
Civil Ceremony as special as possibl.e
'Dorset Civil Ceremonies’ are strongly committed to providing outstanding services creating wonderful, personal and unique ceremonies for each and every occasion.
The ceremonies I create are very special, people are always commenting about how personal their ceremonies are and about the care and time I take to create an individual, unique ceremony.
Creating the "right" ceremony is a time-consuming undertaking. It needs careful planning and energy and it needs a celebrant that you feel comfortable and confident with, who can guide you through the maze of options available.
From a small family funeral to the grandest wedding ceremony my knowledge and experience will ensure that yours is
a ceremony never to be forgotten, memories to be kept forever.
