The Ceremony Celebrant

We all have that one friend, the confident one with all the lines who takes public speaking in their stride. 

The one who could probably pull off officiating your ceremony-right? Well… maybe.

While it might sound simple to deliver a wedding ceremony, it is so much more than “just saying a few words,” for one of the biggest moments of your life. 

Before you hand over the role to your vibrant friend, The Ceremony Celebrant has a few things for you to consider first …. 

“Thanks for your time – we’re going to ask a friend to do our ceremony, they’re a great at that kind of stuff”

I hear this A LOT and yes, it is often down to saving on costs….. I get it, weddings are expensive. 

But here’s the thing; before committing to asking your friend, ask yourselves …. 

Will your friend ….

Work with your photographer and videographer to help them to achieve all of the best photo opportunities and know when to step away from the key moments?

Will they know how to work with your musicians or sound tech to ensure that the supplier knows their cues for a seamless flow? 

Will they meet with friends and family who have a role in your ceremony; make sure they are all happy in their roles and that they all know what they’re doing and when? 

Will they write and deliver your unique love story cleverly created from friendly chats and finely honed questionnaires to get you thinking and remind you of those precious moments that deserve to be celebrated?

Will they give support and direction to you and your guests throughout the whole occasion, calming your nerves before and during the ceremony; reminding you to be in the moment?

Sure, we all have that friend or relative that is a confident public speaker but your ceremony is so much more than public speaking. 

It’s taking control of the ceremony space, understanding what is happening now and preparing for what is coming next. 

It is guiding you through one of the most important events of your life so that you can be confident that you (and your friend) will remain present and enjoy every moment.

If you have a friend that does all of this… she’s your celebrant 🤍
