Ceremony & Reception Options
The Ceremony Camp Kátur does not hold a license for civil weddings. Most couples go to the Registry Office a couple of days prior to their Big Day & sign the legal documents then. However, having your ceremony at Camp Kátur gives you the opportunity to marry where you want, when you want and how you want. Make your ceremony unique & personal. You can work closely with some wonderfully fully trained personal ceremony experts who will give your day & blessing the upmost personal touch & can help you write the perfect vows. “We don’t do conveyor-belt, formulaic ceremonies. What we do is bespoke, contemporary and personal” Jan Shillito a well known ceremonist in the area offers various options and pricing to personalise your once in a life time commitment to each other.
