Truly beautiful ceremonies are held in private homes and gardens and at local parks.

Looking for a location?  Put on the walking shoes, grab your smartphone or camera and go walking! You can find amazing, secluded spots that are ideal for intimate ceremonies.

Take some photos, consider the backdrop and listen – you want to aim for a quiet location.

I’ve seen some homes and backyards transformed for ceremonies – it’s all about your planning and creativity. And it doesn’t need to break the budget!

Here’s some inspiration from the Joyful Occasions Celebrant personal photo file!
