Q. We are getting married in the South France next July 2013 and we have been having difficulties finding a good selection of musicians to use. Ideally we are looking for a cover band for the evening. If you could provide any advice on this it would be very helpful. There will be about 120 people there, with a mix of old and young people.

A. Celebrants in France are a group of celebrants who have been a part of many wedding celebrations since they became established in 2006. Celebrants in France conduct Humanist non-religious ceremonies that reflects a couple’s personal values and beliefs; suitable not only for those with humanist views, but also for those who have lapsed from orthodox religious traditions, re-marriages or those who cross religious or cultural divides.
