Description

Experience the enchanting tradition of a Handfasting Ceremony in the Elopement Marriage Room at the Famous Blacksmiths Shop. Our historic venue, known for its romantic elopements, offers an intimate setting for the symbolic binding of hands with a cord, representing the couple's union. Embrace the magic and create lasting memories.

A Handfasting ceremony is an ancient Celtic ritual, that symbolises the binding of two lives and souls. During the ceremony, the couple’s hands are gently bound together with a cord or ribbon, signifying their union and commitment to one another. This practice, which predates many modern wedding traditions, offers a beautiful and profound way to celebrate your love.

Please Note: The two guests included in this handfasting package is the couple. Additional guests can be added upon request at an extra cost.
