Ami and Mark met in high school 14 years ago. While they had to go their separate ways at times, they always found their way back to each other, and got engaged 5 years ago. They finally decided it was time to tie the knot, and booked this stunning treehouse retreat space, and had a private ceremony just for them.

A civil wedding, as most think of it, often takes place at a courthouse, but it can be held anywhere, as long as it's not a house of worship. If you and your partner would like a creative or non-traditional ceremony, a civil ceremony is the perfect style of wedding for you.

A civil wedding allows you complete freedom to write your own vows or include your own traditions without any restrictions.

Need vendors for your Civil wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A civil wedding is very straight-forward. While many people may think this style of wedding is limited to a courthouse ceremony, in fact, it's simply any nonreligious legal ceremony with a legal official acting as officiant, as opposed to a religious one.

Civil weddings have no religious affiliation and a government or civil official must preside over their ceremony, as opposed to a religious figure. This style of wedding is not only for those who aren't religious but could be perfect for couples who come from two very different faiths or for those who do not want to be bound by any religious restrictions. In the case of the latter, couples can then have a more traditional ceremony later. 

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your civil wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.
