Silver Bundle – Weddings, Funerals, Funeral Celebrant Plus, Namings and Marketing
If you are thinking about becoming a fully-rounded celebrant - with weddings, namings and funerals in your portfolio
You may feel naturally drawn to one area of celebrancy over another – the depth of funerals versus the joy of weddings.
But we would genuinely suggest you consider both.
Our Complete Celebrant package includes:
As a silver bundle trainee you can access the weekly via-Zoom-tutorials all the time that you are completing the course and for a further year after you have successfully completed your training.
Wedding Celebrant training
In our wedding celebrant training, we will teach you the role of the wedding celebrant, how to work alongside the registration service as well as entirely independently, and how to support your couples to create amazing, meaningful and memorable ceremonies.
We look at everything from the legal bits, to different settings, rituals and symbolism, couples meetings, writing, stage-managing and BTS admin. We take a deep dive into the business side of your career – how to market and grow and organise yourself as a self-employed person. The wedding Celebrant training sets realistic expectations and goal, because we want you to be able to build a serious and sustainable business. We aren’t just offering you the ‘dream job’ narrative … it is a dream job but, like any job, it involves hard work, too. We want you to enter this profession with your eyes wide open, a solid foundation from which to grow and ongoing support to help you thrive.
