CONGRATULATIONS!

That is often the first word that follows, "We’re getting married!" Usually, the next ones are, "Tell us about the ceremony!"  Panic follows; you're certainly not boring and predictable; how do you make sure your wedding ceremony won't be that way?

The ceremony imay seem like the most confusing piece of the puzzle. Of course, you want  a ceremony that will mark your important commitment, but maybe a traditional church setting may not be appropriate for you. You need an officiant who can help you create a ceremony that is a spiritual and inspiring, without language or symbolism that restrictive or cliche.

And that is exactly what we can do together! Civil Celebrants are uniquely trained to blend tradition, innovation, and ritual for the couple that wants an imaginative, personal wedding ceremony. A Celebrant can give tyou the celebration that they’ve dreamed of without compromising you personal beliefs or style! Your ceremony might be the first one your guests have ever listened to!

Who am I?

Honestly, it's not about me, but it is about us, so here goes!  I bring a unique blend of talents and resources to my work as a Celebrant. As an event planner, I have helped to orchestrate over 20 years worth of weddings and commitment ceremonies. As a motivational speaker, I create an atmosphere of excitement, of introspection and discovery. As a writer, I draw on a rich variety of traditional and contemporary resources, blending the inspiring and the significant with the humorous.

I have the best job in the world; I am a Celebrant. I help my clients express themselves in ways that are truly meaningful to their families and friends. It is a wonderful way to start your journey as wedded partners in life!

Let’s talk!

• about including children, pets, relatives or other special guests in your ceremony.
• about including traditions from your backgrounds or creating new ones.
• about readings, music and art that is meaningful to you.
• about celebrating milestone anniversaries and renewal of vow ceremonies.
• about searching for unusual and charismatic sites for your wedding or commitment ceremony.

What's good about Thursday? Or Monday? Or Tuesday?   Posted By: Celia Milton Celebrant What's good about weekdays is that your ceremony will cost half of what it would on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. You... (more) Applies to Officiant

Colorblind Productions

Celia is by far the customized wedding celebrant expert. Her ceremonies are personal and genuine and have a certain unique quality to them that makes them memorable and emotional.

What is your  spiritual orientation?

 

I was raised in the Unitarian Universalist tradition, and completed my Masters of Divinity at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York. I then studied a course of Spiritual Direction at Fordham University, in the Bronx, and completed my training at the Celebrant USA Foundation, in Montclair, NJ.  My academic background is wide, and my research varied, but I have no agenda for my couples.  Your ceremony is about you; my background simply allows me to find the words, rituals and music that will express you in a way that is joyful and  authentic 

 

My aim is to delight and surprise; to act as the catalyst between you, your unique story, and your guests; to mark the joyous start of your new life together and have that joy renew the lives of the people who share your wedding day.

 

Can we incorporate ethnic or religious traditions into our ceremony?

 

Of course. It is your ceremony, and it can have many different elements such as handfastings, sand ceremonies, and unity candles, to name a few.  We can honor the people, places and things that are dear to you; the individual passions that make your relationship unique. 

 

 

What on earth is this going to cost!!

 

Breathe in, breathe out, repeat as necessary.  This is a day that is so important, and the ceremony is the heart of the celebration.  The ceremony should be interesting, funny, inspiring, and touching.  It is, in many ways, your gift to the people who have come to support you on the new path of marriage.  My fee reflects my professionalism; not only in the careful writing of your ceremony, but in the unfolding of the wedding day.

 First, we will meet and talk about your history as a couple, your life together, and your ideas for the ceremony. Together we will pick readings, poetry, music that reflect your distinctive style and personality.   You will receive a full script of your ceremony at least a week ahead of time, and we will edit it so it is completely comfortable for you. 

 On the day of your wedding, I will arrive early enough to brief your photographers, musicians, wedding planners and site staff on the details of your ceremony.  They will all know exactly what to expect so that they can produce their best work.  If you have friends or family that will be reading, I will work with them so they are calm and prepared.  If you have flower girls or ring bearers, I’ll go over their roles along with your attendants and their parents.  If you  have a flower dog, I’ll bring a Milk Bone and take time to scratch behind the ears. Everyone involved on that day will feel the care you have put into orchestrating the ceremony, and they will be able to relax and enjoy their gift of participation.
