Do look at Section 6 in particular as it discusses independent celebrants.

Civil Ceremonies and the Wedding Celebrancy Commission are urging independent celebrants across England and Wales to seize this pivotal moment and make their voices heard.

Comprised of the leading independent celebrant training organisations in the UK, the WCC has been at the forefront of championing independent celebrants to reach this milestone. They are delighted that this pivotal point has been reached.

Celebrants are urged to put in a full, well considered response to the questions asked in the document and to inform their local MP of the consultation and ask for their support.

Struggling with your USP, websites and social media? Maybe our Digital Marketing Masterclass for Wedding Celebrants might help? One of the attendees on our recent course certainly rated it...!

"What an amazing workshop!

Marcus was incredibly knowledgeable and truly inspiring. He made the process of identifying and shaping my USP not only clear but genuinely exciting, using practical demonstrations that showed exactly how to do it.

The world of Instagram — from grid posts to reels and stories — finally makes sense, thanks to his clear explanations and examples. We explored celebrant directories in detail, understanding both their strengths and their limitations, which was hugely helpful.
I now know where I can build a website, how to gather and use client feedback effectively, and how to make the most of SEO to boost visibility.

But most importantly, Marcus showed me how to ensure my USP shines through consistently across all of my digital content. I’m leaving with clarity, confidence, and a real sense of direction. Watch this space!"
