Information
Please check out the FAQ's below to help you understand how the Celebrants role works
Frequently asked questions
Are you qualified / trained?
Yes I am - I trained at the International College of Professional Celebrants and I undertake regular CPD with the college.
Do you have insurance?
Yes I do - As part of my professional membership with the International College of Professional Celebrants I have Insurance for up to £5,000,000.
What is a Celebrant?
A celebrant offers a more personal alternative to a registrar, vicar or other faith leader. Your ceremony can take place wherever you choose and be designed entirely around you. The legal paperwork is completed separately through a registrar.
Can a Celebrant also undertake the legal part of a marriage ?
Not yet — although there are plans for the law to change in the future so that qualified celebrants can legally marry couples. For now, the legal paperwork is completed separately at a register office. After that, you are free to celebrate your wedding with a celebrant-led ceremony anywhere you choose.
Where Can I have my marriage celebration?
Absolutely anywhere! I just love outdoor weddings
Can we write our own Vows
Absolutely ! I will help you to craft this
Do we get a marriage certificate
Yes you will be provided with a certificate on the day to sign and keep as a memory - the actual legal marriage certificate is now electronic.
Is this really a fake wedding? Absolutely not!
If you think about a funeral, it is in parts - you register the funeral, then the service is usually weeks later, this is just the same. Using a celebrant means you have far more control over what you want and where you want.
Do you do Pet Funerals
Yes I do, I work with Tan Moor Memorial Woodland in Skipton where you can book a place for your pets funeral. I also make living rugs as part of my smallholding which are idea for many uses including regulating temperature especially for old and ill pets. Some clients use these as shrouds when the pet also die as a comfort for the pet. www.crowkeld.co.uk
What is your environmental policy?
My work is centred on celebrating nature and renewal. I work with people and the rhythms of the natural world to tell their stories in a way that feels authentic to them, always with care for the environment in mind. When I’m not working as a celebrant, I’m a rare breed shepherd in the Yorkshire Dales, living and working closely with nature every day. This connection grounds me and constantly reminds me how precious life, love, and the stories we share truly are.
The way I live my life is by its own eco policy, it is naturally embedded into everything that I do.
What is your policy on equality ?
Moss & Moon is an inclusive and welcoming space. I work with people of all backgrounds, identities and beliefs, creating ceremonies that honour who you are and the stories that matter to you. Everyone deserves a ceremony that feels authentic, respectful and truly their own.
