Many couples use a Quaker tradition to commemorate their wedding ceremony. They develop a personalized certificate that contains the marriage information, vows, signature of the bride and groom, and is signed by each guest. These hand-lettered, original documents may also be embellished with a quotation important to the couple. We use archival paints and papers to create this lasting document of your commitment and the promise of support of your family and friends.  

  

We have two choices of certificate, one is full handwritten calligraphy, the other uses a printed template with spaces for personalisation such as names, venue, dates and readings

 

 Quaker marriage certificates started out as a custom for those of this particular faith, and are used in their marriage ceremonies where there is no specified officiant. Instead, the certificates are signed by the attendees to designate their approval of the union. Indicative of an emerging trend, these marriage certificates are now being commissioned by people of all faiths and backgrounds. They can be modified and used in marriages involving dual faiths and in other specialized unions. Usually they include the couple's names, date and location of the ceremony, marriage vows, and witness signature lines for the attendees and wedding party to sign. They are appropriate for smaller, intimate weddings, concerning the accommodation of space for the signature lines.
