What is a Celebrant?
What is a celebrant?
A celebrant is someone who officiates at ceremonies to mark key life events. These include weddings, civil partnerships, commitment ceremonies, naming ceremonies and end-of-life ceremonies.
More and more people are choosing a celebrant because they’re looking for a special kind of ceremony that reflects their personalities and values. A celebrant will work closely with couples and families and build a special lasting relationship. It's this relationship that allows the celebrant to create a unique, personalised ceremony, full of depth and meaning.
Some celebrants work for organisations such as Humanists; others, like me, are independent. An Independent Civil Celebrant is not tied to any organisation, religious or otherwise. This means that you can choose whatever content you like for your ceremony. If you want to include religious or spiritual elements, you can.
A celebrant-led ceremony offers you the freedom and creativity to make your day your own. You can celebrate where you like, when you like and how you like.
No rules, no restrictions, no limits!
