My Celebrant Finishing School
15 May 2026
There’s a whole stack of composers who left behind unfinished symphonies. The best known one is probably Schubert, but Beethoven, Wagner, Sibelius and many other famous musicians didn’t complete their works before they shuffled off this mortal coil. As a celebrant, has it ever seemed that a ceremony of yours felt unfinished? You’d listened attentively […]

Are you completely happy with the way you present your ceremonies? No? You’re not alone in this.

In my mind, MC stands for Master Communicator. I’ve known one for a few years. And there’s no hammer about this MC. He’s a warm, friendly, gentle soul. Let’s call him Mr W – he’d probably blush if I shared his name. Guess what! Mr W is my dentist! Well, not just mine. That’s the […]

Not many celebrants or ministers are lucky enough to have professional voice-and-communication coaching as part of their training. I’d have thought that would be a basic part of what they’re taught, but apparently not. Having a pleasant-sounding voice will give you an edge over most of the celebrants (and ministers) working these days. But an […]
