Caritas Ceremonies

About Caritas Ceremonies

I will work closely with you to ensure your ceremony, whether it to be the celebration of a marriage, civil partnership, a vow renewal or of your commitment to one another, is everything you would want it to be.

Based in Peterlee, County Durham, England, Caritas Ceremonies is an independent wedding celebrant who conducts nuptials from Northumberland to North Yorkshire. Celebrant Joanne Benson was a nurse for thirty years and has a wealth of experience working with families in the public, private, and voluntary sectors. She trained with the UK College of Celebrants and offers a professional, supportive, and sensitive service. Joanne believes that marking important events in our lives is a key part of the human experience. She is excited to work with you to mark the occasion of your marriage and help to tell your love story in a meaningful way. Caritas Ceremonies will collaborate with you and your partner to create a wedding that reflects your personalities, values, and beliefs. Joanne can help with everything from selecting music and poems to incorporating your family's traditions. She can also come up with a structure that flows well. This celebrant is flexible and wants to ensure that your big day feels entirely personal to you. As these ceremonies are not part of the legal registration of a marriage, they can be held wherever your heart desires. From beaches to gardens, hotels to libraries, Caritas Ceremonies will preside over the next step of your partnership with grace and eloquence.
