​What is a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant(tm) ?

​The moon, the tides and the seasons all have their cycles, and so do we.  Some cycles fill us with the greatest joys, while others bring deep sadness and despair.  

Life-Cycle Celebrants are graduates of the Celebrant Foundation and Institute.  We're professionally trained and certified to create and conduct unique and personal ceremonies & rituals including Weddings, Vow Renewals, Life's Endings, Baby Naming and Welcoming Ceremonies, as well as other ceremonies to mark and honour life's important cycles.  


Did you know?  The Celebrant title isn't regulated in Canada?  Anyone can hang out a shingle and call themselves a celebrant.  Before engaging someone calling themselves a celebrant, ask where they trained, how much time they invest in their training and how they keep their skills and knowledge up to date.  Ask if they are certified and bound by a code of ethics.  If you're planning to have a celebrant conduct your marriage ceremony, be sure they're authorized by the provincial government in the province where your ceremony is being held.    


Life-Cycle Celebrants research different cultures and beliefs, learning how to gracefully weave values and symbols into the ceremonies we create.  We make ceremony personal and know how to determine what’s appropriate and what isn't for each client.  

After graduating as highly-trained ceremony professionals, Life-Cycle Celebrants adhere to a strict code of ethics and a non-discrimination policy.  This makes us stand out from other officiants because of our training and commitment to handle your ceremony in a  personal, inclusive, and respectful way.  We're trained not just to listen, but to hear your story.
