The Celebrant Guide
The Celebrant Guide is an easy, affordable and accessible celebrant membership program: an association and a training school, a community and a networking tool, an online resource and a bit of fun and sass along the way.
We are here to help you learn, grow, develop and gain all the tools you need to become the best celebrant version of yourself.
And we are firm believers that anything goes - no two weddings are the same, so we are here to empower you to become the celebrant that you want to be.

Membership includes
Monthly articles and regular updates covering a range of topics from the basic how-to-guides to new trends and how to make your celebrant life more diverse and interesting - everything from business growth to streamlining systems for more productive processes, from financial literacy to inclusivity and diversity training.
Downloadable templates including couple questionnaires, basic ceremony layout ideas and water tight contracts.
Support, assistance and communication in a safe and welcoming manner, seven days a week - if we can’t answer your question, we can ask BDM so you don’t have to. No question is too silly, no situation too hard to find a solution to!
Advocacy on your behalf and regular communication with BDM, representing you - real celebrants - and taking to them any concerns and questions you might have.
Networking and support within the celebrant community - linking you with other celebrants in your area, or other celebrants around the motu who do it like you do. Because we are firm believers of community over competition.
Three-monthly bonus events - online Q&A sessions with experienced celebrants, and with wedding vendors that celebrants regularly work alongside: photographers, planners etc; inclusion and diversity training; in-person catch up events; and so much more!
Discounted access to training courses and professional development
Online directory listing for all members.
But don’t just take our word for it:
“What I also really love is that this community naturally attracts like-minded people. When you join The Celebrant Guide, you know you’re stepping into a space with other celebrants who share those same values - people who want to support rather than compete, who are open to learning and evolving, and who want to see others in the industry do well. There’s a real sense of being surrounded by people who get it.”
“The Celebrant Guide are incredibly forward-thinking. They’re constantly considering the diverse needs of New Zealanders, how our industry needs to evolve to meet those needs, and how they can better support both celebrants and the couples and families we serve.
They’re approachable, generous with their knowledge and genuinely invested in seeing other celebrants thrive.”
“No one is ever made to feel silly for asking a question or not knowing something - compassion is at the heart of everything The Celebrant Guide do”
