Your Civil Celebrant

What a Civil Celebrant can do

Every person passes many milestones as they progress through life's magnificent journey from birth to the grave. In the past, three major events in a persons life were, Birth, Marriage and Death and were commemorated with a religious ceremony. The unity and fellowship of community was supported by regularly attending a place of worship.

Today, communities do not worship as often as in the past and as a result people do not feel as comfortable having a religious ceremony to honour their special occasion.

What is a Civil Celebrant?

Civil celebrants are now performing many of the former traditional religious ceremonies and will conduct, Memorial Services, Pet funerals, House Warmings, Boat Naming, Engagemnets, Rites of Passage and many more.

A Civil Celebrant is trained to design and conduct a ceremony that can be as individual as you are. There are very few things that can not be incorporated into a civil ceremony.

A Civil Ceremony has almost unlimited flexability. You have complete control over the elements of the ceremony, such as the location, time, format, theme, dress code and the day of the week, readings, poetry, music, and who will participate in the day's proceedings.
