Celebrant Views

As a Celebrant, Doula and End of Life Planner, my blog posts tend to focus on creative and authentic ways to celebrate and commemorate. As we reach milestones along life’s extraordinary journey we have moments worth celebrating and commemorating.

Ask a Celebrant

Ask a Celebrant with Berni and Dinah. We’re Celebrants. We create celebrations of love and life.We get asked a lot about what people can and can’t have a ceremony or celebration for. We’re going to share our thoughts, experiences and ideas to answer your questions on topics from relationship celebrations to funeral and life celebrations.

This month, Berni and Dinah are talking about the White Paper on Wedding Law Reform and what it might mean for couples considering marriage.

You can find out more about the campaign here:
