How does a Celebrant work?

How does a Celebrant work?

by admin | May 29, 2020 | Featured

So just how does a Celebrant work? A professional Celebrant works really hard to take you from, “Will you marry me?” all the way through to, “I do!” The right officiant will get to know you with an open heart and an open mind by asking questions that get to the very...

Celebrating biting my tongue 😛 when I hear:

👄Ooh, my daughter/cousin/friend would like to be a celebrant and "do a ceremony" 💬

Me. In my head:
🤔Great idea, let's entrust the heart of your special day to someone with zero experience of writing the theatrics of a wedding script, telling an authentic love story with humour and meaning, holding the attention of 200 strangers whilst directing two emotional people through one of the most publicly intimate thirty minutes of their lives; orchestrating every visual element/guest reader/ritual/music whilst all the time keeping an eye on the photographer to keep out of shot... with a beatific reassuring smile and an air of calm professionalism. Doddle! 😅

What I actually say:
👄 Yes, it's one of those things that looks easy but there's more to it than meets the eye 💬

I have a full time business and take the responsibility of crafting and officiating weddings very seriously.
I constantly invest in my own CPD and mentor a team of independent celebrants as well as supporting other colleagues around the world with their own celebrant businesses.

Oh yes, and I "do ceremonies" in Spanish too 😘

💍If you really would like to train as a celebrant, feel free to give me a shout and I'd be delighted to connect you with some trusted training organisations 👍

My weekdays start with
🏝️ 07:30h beach walk with the dog to the outdoor gym 🐾
🏋🏻‍♂️ 08:00h CrossFit class

Today's sesh included burpees, pull-ups, devil presses... and my variation on a headstand pike push up (also known as a puke pushup 😂🤣)

I actually have a spinal implant so only use light weights but increase my reps to push my workout to the max ....so #CelebrantSpain gets #WeddingFit 💪🏻😅 for your ceremony!
Not bad for a 62 year old granny 👵🏻

Celebrating a beachside wedding on Friday and wedd Celebrating a beachside wedding on Friday and wedding on the beach on Saturday 🏝️

I'm often asked:
"Can I have my wedding, elopement or vow renewal ceremony on the beach?"
Great question! 🏖
The truthful answer is yes and no 😉

There are some great hotels who either own a beach or who have a licence to set up and perform wedding ceremonies on a designated area of beach. Fab!

Nowadays, you need permission in Andalucia to put out chairs and generally take public space on the beach (you're not even supposed to leave your deckchairs out when you leave the beach for lunch).

So, can I officiate informal symbolic ceremonies on the beach? 
Truthfully, it depends on the location and size of the gathering.

Without a licence there are still several options....

1) 😍 find a venue such as a chiringuito or beach bar that already has a licence to have a deck/put out chairs and tables, and ask (pay)  to use their space... like my ceremony in Rincon de La Victoria on Saturday 
2) 😘 have a "beach-side" ceremony again at a restaurant or hotel adjacent to or overlooking the beach but not right on the sand... like my ceremony in Nerja on Friday 
3) 🥰 have a ceremony, like an elopement or micro-wedding for a very few people with a very simple set up .... in which case you wont be taking more space than a typical Spanish family anyway 😘

So a long answer! But a truthful one.
And I am game for each and every option 🍾🥂🎉
