What is a Celebrant?
A Celebrant is someone who is trained in the art of creating ceremony. Celebrants typically go through a rigorous and thorough educational program of studies and work for clients who want a highly personalized ceremony and customer experience. Celebrants meet the increasing need for secular ceremonies for weddings, funerals, and other life transition events.
Celebrants in the United States
While Celebrants are widely used in other parts of the world, they are still fairly uncommon in the United States. The flood of individuals getting 'ordained' online in the US has brought confusion to those wanting a ceremony outside of a church setting. Different from online ministers, Celebrants bring a high level of expertise, working closely with clients to create unique, engaging, highly personal ceremonies.
