Being a celebrant is about more than writing and delivering words — it’s about bringing stories, cultures, and emotions to life.

Hetal and Divyakumar’s wedding at The Manor Elstree was a beautiful example of blending family values, traditions, and meaningful moments into a ceremony that truly reflected who they are as a couple.

If you’re planning your wedding and looking for a celebrant who understands multicultural traditions and can help create a personal, memorable ceremony, I would love to hear from you.

FAQ: Do you cater for multi-faith couples? Absolu

FAQ: Do you cater for multi-faith couples?

Absolutely. Many of the weddings and renewal of vows ceremonies I conduct are multi-faith, multicultural, inter-faith, or fusion.

I am a British Asian (born in Uganda, with roots in India), and I have a deep understanding of Asian rituals, music, and cultural traditions. Having been educated in the UK, I also appreciate and understand other cultures and how they can beautifully blend into ceremonies.

My husband, Dhani, is both Irish and Indian from the Caribbean, which gives me firsthand understanding of the challenges and joys that come with being part of a multicultural couple.

Every ceremony is tailored with care and thought, bringing together cultures, beliefs, and family traditions to create something personal and meaningful.

A beautiful multicultural wedding ceremony for Luk

A beautiful multicultural wedding ceremony for Luke & Purvi at Abbey Hill Golf Club.

Bringing together both their cultures, their ceremony included blessings, symbolism, and meaningful rituals surrounded by family and friends.

The presence of Lord Ganesha added wisdom, protection, and positivity, setting the tone for their new journey as husband and wife.

When planning your wedding, what rituals or traditions are important to you?

Meet Nando and Saraana

Saarana is Indian, and Nando is from South Africa

Nando shared that spending time with Saraana is never, ever difficult. The clearest example of this is the central role Saraana plays in many friendship groups.

Saraana always sees people when they need her, even when they don’t. Saraana is unfazed when out of her comfort zone and makes an effort to enjoy things that are important to me. Saraana is passionate about issues ranging from social justice to how best to feed a cat and takes the time to learn about how to do things properly.

Nando is a gentle soul with a kind & strong heart who does not stand for injustice, as shown in his consultant work and PhD. He is very aware of his role in a situation and would rather listen than give an immediate opinion.

He does not notice it, but his humble and calm exterior is a magnet for people, making them easily feel safe and heard. He is great to have an adventure with, and his keenness to travel and have authentic experiences from other cultures, especially with different types of food, means he is an excellent travel partner. He loves a computer shortcut.

I will remember this multicultural wedding ceremony for years to come. They had their ceremony on a Glamping Site, and it rained the night before.

The actual planning of the ceremony was not difficult. Although the couple were busy with their own family, friends, and work areas, they made time to provide what I needed to create a ceremony that respected them both as individuals and as a couple.
