Introducing the Australian Celebrants Association:

The world of celebrancy is evolving, and so is the way we connect, learn, and celebrate our craft. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of The Australian Celebrants Association—a new community-driven initiative designed to support and showcase the incredible work of celebrants across Australia.

While we’re not an incorporated association, we are an associated group of professional celebrants who believe in the power of storytelling, meaningful ceremonies, and the collective wisdom of our peers. This is a space to learn, share, and grow together—without bureaucracy, just real support and inspiration.

Why We Created The Australian Celebrants Association

If you’re a celebrant, you know that most of the work we do happens behind the scenes. We pour our hearts into crafting ceremonies, refining scripts, and guiding couples, families, and communities through some of life’s most significant moments. But too often, we do this in isolation.

We saw the need for a space dedicated to celebrating Australian celebrants—a place where we can highlight the people behind the ceremonies, share practical insights, and create a network that supports professional growth.

We’re not here to tell you how to be a celebrant. We’re here to showcase the many ways to be a great celebrant—from intimate elopements in Tasmania to grand celebrations in Sydney’s heritage venues, from beachside weddings in Queensland to heartfelt memorials in rural Victoria.

What You’ll Find at The Australian Celebrants Association

The Australian Celebrants Association is designed to be a hub of inspiration, education, and connection. Here’s what you can expect:
