Celebrant Training in 2025

Doing an excellent job as a celebrant isn’t about luck. It is about a defined and ever-expanding skillset, innate gifts and qualities, and a strong sense of being of service. It begins with rigorous celebrant training that allows you to explore your full potential. At Heart-led Ceremonies Celebrant Training we seek to create ceremonies of excellence and trust our celebrants-in-training and graduates aspire to this too. When you train with us, we will show you step-by-step how to do this. This is all done within a relaxed, peaceful and calm environment and adapted to each individual’s unique learning style.

 



We are delighted to welcome new celebrants-in-training for 2025. On our training courses we teach you everything we know so that you can step into professional celebrancy with a solid cheerleading team beside you. Our core values are: integrity, acceptance and creativity.

 



Veronika will be celebrating her 30th anniversary as a celebrant in 2025, and Paul’s long career in voice and communication spans  five decades. As seasoned experts in our field, with real-life experience, if you’re willing to put the work in we can promise you’ll enjoy a wonderful and deeply rewarding career path as a Heart-led Celebrant.

We offer our signature course: Diploma in Advanced Celebrancy and Ritual (open to those with no celebrancy experience) which covers all rites of passage.

Certificate in Celebrancy (funerals, weddings, namings).

We also offer masterclasses and mentoring (whether you’ve trained with us, or elsewhere).
