I've decided to use one post for Day5 & Day6 of as they are so closely linked.
My first celebrant inspiration was the wonderful man who supported my mum and all the family when we lost my dad. The care, the personal touches and a beautiful eulogy that really captured my dad was such a different experience to other funerals I'd attended. I realised that this was something I wanted to do and then it became what I needed to do! So he was also one of the reasons why I became a celebrant.
My other celebrant inspirations are this gorgeous group who I trained with at the ICPC - along with all the trainers who have helped and supported me on my journey.
Other reasons I became a celebrant
💕 I love helping people - through both their most joyous and most difficult of life's moments
💕 I love hearing people's stories and weaving these into their ceremonies to create something truly personal
💕 I love learning! Researching cultures, religions, rituals, languages to enhance their experience.

Day 4 of World Celebrant Week asks "What is your superpower?"
Using the words of an old Ronseal advert - it does what it says on the tin - mine would be the personal touch - which is why I chose to use Personal Touch Ceremonies when beginning my Celebrancy journey.
💕Working closely with families to ensure their ceremony is everything they could hope for - helping with readings, poems, vows, music, mini ceremonies or rituals.
💕Paying attention to every detail - lots of 'get to know you' meetings, wearing the right outfit - themed or fitting with your colour scheme, checking of scripts and rehearsals offered if required.
💕Providing those little extras such as presentation scripts, certificates, vow booklets, packets of seeds for remembrance to name but a few.
💕Making my own handfasting ribbons (to your specification) alongside a velvet bag to keep them in after the ceremony.
💕Extending my creative side I can even make table decorations, invitations and flower girl dresses if you would like me to!!
💕As a fully inclusive celebrant I love to celebrate diversity.
💕Oh - and I love working with children and animals!

Day 3 of World Celebrant Week asks why we love what we do.
There are so many reasons I could fill a book!

💖 Variety - creating and leading on ceremonies for all of life's important milestones.
⭐Naming Ceremonies
⭐Weddings & Vow Renewals
⭐Funerals & Memorials

💖Diversity - meeting people from so many backgrounds, religions, ethnicities and cultures. Finding ways to represent this within their ceremony.

💖Emotion - joy, smiles, laughter and love. Tears (whether happy or sad). Calming nerves and reassuring hugs.

It is an absolute privilege to play a part in someone's most joyous or most difficult moments.......

Day 2 of World Celebrant Week so here are my top 3 reasons for having a celebrant led ceremony.
💕 Completely bespoke. Your ceremony will be written for you and in consultation with you - your story front and centre. It's all in the details.
💕 Choice. Complete flexibility on time and location - not just office hours or licensed venues. Your content can include religious, spiritual or cultural elements.....and I love a mini ceremony!! The choice is endless!!
💕 You know who you're working with. I will really get to know you beforehand and you will have my undivided attention on the day as I never book more than one ceremony.

Hi! As it's Day 1 of World Celebrant Week I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Andrea Robinson and I live with my husband John and a very needy but gorgeous poochon in Norden, Rochdale (Greater Manchester officially but still considered to be Lancashire by many!)
With over 30 years experience in public speaking I pride myself in creating warm, memorable ceremonies for all of life's important moments.
A few fun facts:-
* I'm very creative and enjoy making handtying ribbons, flower girl tutus, table decorations etc.
* Love to travel
* Gin connoisseur
If you'd like to know more drop me a message - I love to chat!
