Welcome to the very first episode of Beyond the Ceremony! Where you will get to know your host, Laura Crockett—a celebrant obsessed with this incredible profession 💖.
We are beyond excited to launch this podcast dedicated to modern celebrancy – unfiltered, honest, and packed with everything you need to know about what it takes to be a professional celebrant in today’s world.
In this first episode, Laura shares her personal journey into celebrancy—one that started with her own wedding in 2017.
Here’s the thing: her ceremony lasted just 17 minutes.
SEVENTEEN MINUTES! 🤭
