Renewal of Vows

A renewal of vows ceremony is a beautiful way for a married couple to reaffirm their commitment to one another whilst sharing the occasion with family and friends. Renewal of vows ceremonies are often sought by couples wishing to commemorate special wedding anniversaries but can also be performed in celebration of other happy events. These may include the return of couples who have married overseas and who wish to celebrate their union with loved ones back home. They are also a popular way for couples who were once separated but have reunited to reaffirm their love for each other.

Regardless of your reasons for considering a renewal of vows ceremony, it presents a wonderful opportunity to recognise and celebrate the unbreakable bond you share.

What’s Involved with a Renewal of Vows Ceremony?

There are no legal requirements involved in this type of ceremony. Essentially, it’s completely up to as to how you wish to declare your love and commitment to each other. Some couples wish to replicate their original wedding ceremony as closely as possibly whilst others may incorporate elements of their existing vows but opt for a newly created ceremony. Many couples also welcome the opportunity of involving loved ones in the ceremony by having them recite poems or blessings.

As your Celebrant, I’ll take the time to get to know you both and understand your journey as a couple. Together, we will personalise a meaningful renewal of vows ceremony that is a true reflection of your love and commitment to each other. I can provide sample ceremonies and suggest appropriate readings if you need guidance but I’m equally happy if you choose to create your own ceremony from start to finish.

Following the commemoration, you will be presented with a reaffirmation certificate as well as a copy of the ceremony.

Where is a Renewal of Vows Ceremony Usually Held?

A renewal of vows ceremony can be held pretty much anywhere. You may choose for the ceremony to be conducted in your own home or at a location that holds special meaning for you both. Other popular choices include restaurants, hotels, gardens and beaches. Located in Kiama, I offer Celebrant services locally as well as in Wollongong, Shellharbour, Sydney and right throughout the Illawarra and Southern Highlands regions.
