Celebrants often create bespoke ceremonies for those looking to have a more alternative, and often secular, ceremony. The role and responsibilities vary from country to country. Some countries provide legal entitlements to Celebrants, which essentially means the legal paperwork is carried out at the ceremony itself. Some countries do not offer this legal entitlement, which essentially means the legal paperwork is carried out before or after the ceremony in a registry office.
