Community Connection
Originally the government when appointing celebrants had in their requirements that a marriage celebrant show their community standing, which was demonstrated by their occupation, interests, and/or their voluntary support. We uphold the importance of social connection to our communities.
ceremonialists
As ceremony guides for our community we take pride in working closely with couples and/or families to combine our knowledge of the value and beauty of ceremony design with listening to what is the hearts, hopes and dreams of our clients. Ceremonies are essential in our community to mark life’s transitional moments. It is through ritual that we build family and community. Certified Practising Celebrants understand the diversity of people in their community and how to assist to bring the beauty of beliefs, traditions, culture, and spirituality into meaningful ceremony.
Charity Events
Each member of CPC will be required to participate in an event to assist one national allocated charity per year.
