CELTIC

The Celtic Ceremony has its roots in ancient traditions that celebrate the connection between the couple and the elements of nature.

For the Celts, the union of two people was a sacred bond, spiritual and physical, blessed by natural forces.

This ceremony symbolizes protection, strengthening and harmony in the new life together, with the active participation of family and friends, who offer the essential elements to reinforce this union.
