Achieve the highest performance level possible
Accepting Applications for All Programs!
Master Celebrants are committed to improving all aspects of their celebrant work and business operations. Regardless of your stage in the entrepreneurial journey, our program maximizes the skills and understanding of experienced officiants and those new to celebrancy.
When enrolled, you will simultaneously achieve EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIAL POINTS (EPCs) required to earn or maintain your International Association of Professional Wedding Officiants (IAPWO) certification!
Our Masters Program Includes the Following Courses:
Course 1
Begin your own career path by understanding the history of Celebrancy and secular ceremonies across the globe. Students will also work with their instructor to create a business plan to either start their new business, or take their current business to the next level.
Course 2
Travel the world to see how various cultures use ritual in ceremonies. Students work collaboratively to learn about diverse practices, then apply them directly to client work. Learning their purpose will help you gain confidence to create unique rituals for your clients.
Course 3
Become the best possible writer and storyteller by improving the structure of your ceremonies from full-scale weddings to elopements and micro-weddings. Our method gets the most out of traditional components, while making the words inside the ceremony more meaningful.
Course 4
Speaking in public is an art, dependent on elements like tone and pace. You may be able to write a fabulous ceremony, but if your presentation skills are lacking, they are just words on a page. We cover the basic principles of effective public speaking, and how to apply them in front of a crowd. Mastering these skills make you memorable, and are key to getting 5-star reviews and client referrals!
Course 5
Become a great business owner by learning best practices for scheduling, time management, filing systems, keeping tax records, preparing contracts, selecting fees and making sales. This course goes DEEP into providing the best customer journey for your couples. Once complete, the backend of your business will be in tip-top shape and you will have a workbook packed with everything you need for sustainable success.
Course 6
In the world of “Google-trained” Officiants, how do you stand out? This course explains all the ways Celebrants can get new business through online marketing, AND help you make the most of traditional, in-person opportunities as well. We help you set realistic and trackable goals; discover new tools that work best for celebrants, and get more comfortable with thoughtful self-promotion, networking and social media!
