How to plan your ceremony

At the Vale, we understand how important it is to personalise your ceremony and our online planner means that you can do just that.

We’ll email you your unique username and password once you’ve given notice of marriage. This will enable you to log into our ceremony planner portal and take control. You can choose which words you’ll use in the ceremony, decide on readings and poems and tell us which of you will be walking down the aisle and who will be waiting in excited anticipation. You can also tell us who your witnesses will be and make sure we know that you’d rather we shortened your name when we can be a bit less formal.

We’ve covered off all of the legal aspects so the rest is up to you!

After choosing ‘My Ceremony’, you’ll see the default ceremony. If you don’t want anything to change, just leave it at that, safe in the knowledge that our default ceremonies are beautiful and personal – you might even find that it’s just what you would have chosen.
