Kia ora and welcome to The Celebrant School, NZ’s #1 celebrant training provider.

Simplicity.

The last year has shown us that simplicity counts – let’s make our lives simple but meaningful, creating moments to treasure with friends, family and whanau.

But what may look simple to guests at weddings, funerals or memorials, has an invisible depth.  Good ceremony – ceremony that moves people, that embraces and engages families and guests – requires good design, good structure, and good content. Students at The Celebrant School have opportunities to fine-tune their natural abilities, absorb critical information, practise their craft, and reach our high standards. Our graduates stand out from the crowd as competent, compassionate professionals, with a high degree of empathy and respect. The feedback we get from clients confirms that our style of teaching and learning – with feedback from peers and assessment from facilitators – provides students with the tools they need to excel as a contemporary celebrant.

Join us at The Celebrant School today to learn the art and science of ceremony, and create a future for yourself, your families and your community when your celebrations are the best that they can possibly be. It’s simple – enrol now to start this journey.
