Debbie Kelly Civil Celebrant
I'm a story teller - let me tell yours
I have been working as a public relations consultant for most of my career and after attending a civil celebrant wedding decided to train to become a celebrant.
The skills I have developed in my PR career such as event planning and management, interviewing, writing and presentation are very similar to those required by a successful wedding celebrant and my unique skill set is very much in demand across the North West of England.
Far exceeded our expectations
Debbie conducted our wedding ceremony in December 2018, she really summed up our story in beautiful words and made the service fully personal. Her service far exceeded our expectation and would recommend her to any couple planning their big day. Thank you so much Debbie. xxx (Erin & David Martin)
A perfect day
Debbie was wonderful from the moment we met her. We wanted a very personable ceremony for our renewal of vows and Debbie created a beautiful service for us. Not a dry eye in the venue! Thank you so much for helping us create a perfect day for our friends and family. (Janet & Paul Howkins)
What is a celebrant?
The celebrant movement began in Australia in the 1970s when, due to social changes, people were looking for alternatives to the traditional and sometimes impersonal wedding and funeral services. In the UK, the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants became the first organisation to introduce the movement. It started developing a professional training course for those interested in becoming a celebrant.
A civil celebrant is somebody who is trained by a professional organisation to write and deliver weddings, naming and funeral ceremonies. Civil celebrants are not humanists although the two terms are often confused and when you choose a civil celebrant there are no rules or restrictions about what you can say or do individually or collectively
Essentially, when using a civil wedding celebrant you really will be able to have the ceremony that you want – a truly bespoke ceremony.
Debbie is a member of The Fellowship of Professional Celebrants (FPC) a professional networking and support organisation for Independent Celebrants. The FPC is a self-regulated professional body which sets standards for best-practice and fosters professionalism in celebrancy. Members are encouraged to continually update their skills through ongoing professional development, and are encouraged to work together to achieve more for the profession in which they work and for the families they serve.
