Types of chaplaincy and types of celebrancy that I am called to do.

“Wedding or Funeral Celebrants

Those who do not follow a religious, spiritual, alternative, or other lifestyle tend to refer to their selves as a wedding and/or funeral celebrant.

Civil Celebrant

Not to be confused with the ability to perform legal marriages as is sometimes incorrectly thought, some celebrants who create weddings, funerals and life event ceremonies self-categorise themselves as a Civil Celebrant.

Humanist Celebrants

Non-religious celebrants who believe this life is the only life they will have. Humanists Celebrants are mainly members of Humanist UK, and they create ceremonies for life events without any religion.

Spiritual Celebrants

Celebrants who specialise in the creation of and delivery of ceremonies with spiritual and nature inclusive content. Religion can be included if required by those a ceremony is for.

Pagan Celebrants

There are many branches on the collectively referred to tree that is Paganism. Norse and Wicca are two of the most widely associated Pagan followings. Pagan celebrants create rituals within their ceremonies and true Pagan celebrants follow a spiritual, Shamanic, Celtic nature Wheel of the Year spiritual path.

Religious Celebrants

Celebrants who have a personal religious belief and who can create semi religious ceremonies for those who want some inclusion but do not want a heavily religious ceremony by a religious leader.

Alternative Celebrants

Celebrants who are alternative people and live what is deemed to be an alternative lifestyle such as Goth, Rockabilly, Steampunk, Metal, Hippy, Punk, Mod, or any other subculture/ interest. Alternative celebrants create non-traditional ceremonies which draw influence on a lifestyle for their content. Lifestyle Celebrants

Sometimes categorised as alternative celebrants, lifestyle celebrants are celebrants who have personal experience and a knowledge of a lifestyle such as a celebrant who creates ceremonies for those within the fetish community or naturists.

Bilingual Celebrants

A celebrant who speaks two or more languages.

Signing Celebrants

Celebrants who can deliver sections or an entire ceremony using sign language

LGTBQ+ Celebrants

Celebrants who are members of the LGBTQ+ community, specifically requested by other members of the community for their knowledge and experience of creating ceremonies with a specified theme or content. Everybody has a choice of which celebrant they use and sometimes people are more likely to be drawn to somebody who understands their requirements through personal experience. We also aren’t stating those within the LGBTQ+ community only want a celebrant who is also part of that community, but if this is what people require, there are celebrants available for them.

Drag Queen Celebrants

Celebrants who do perform ceremonies in drag.” -https://choicecelebranttraining.com/different-kinds-of-celebrants/
