My Celebrant Buddy Tip - Example of a Ceremony Script

Now, it’s all well and good being sent help guides and ‘how to’ tricks. It’s another thing actually seeing an example of a ceremony script.

Here’s one of my very early ones, which has been kindly authorised for use by Chloe and Tony - a wonderful couple I married.

You’ll notice most of the lols and good times occur in the first half, before we dive into some of the formalities.

Don’t worry about the content so much. Rather, try and focus on the structure and identify how that works.

BONUS TIP - I would HIGHLY encourage using the below examples in conjunction with the master script template. You can use this template as a basis to write your script.

2ND BONUS TIP - what you decide to read the script from is totally up to you! I usually use an iPad, but you are also welcome to use a nice display folder with sleeves.


  • Script Example #1 (for use when all legal requirements have been completed before the ceremony)

  • Script Example #2 (for use when all legal requirements have been completed after the ceremony)

  • Script Example #3 (for use when all legal requirements have been completed during the ceremony)


Please don’t share these one with anyone :)

And, as per usual, if you have any questions feel free to let me know!
