Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, this full-day workshop is designed to refresh, inspire, and elevate your celebrant practice. Renowned educator Winnie Duggan will lead engaging sessions on modern trends, hands-on workshops exploring rituals and storytelling, and provide opportunities to connect with fellow celebrants over a networking lunch.

Proudly hosted by the Hawke’s Bay / East Coast Branch Committee, this event is open to all celebrants—whether you specialise in weddings, funerals, or any other type of ceremony. We warmly welcome celebrants from outside the region to join us for this valuable opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired.

A special thanks to Howard & Gannon Funerals, Taradale, for generously providing the venue.
