Got my first booking and certificate on the same day
Just wanted to share my joy with you all on this lovely sunny day! This is the face of someone who became fully certified for weddings AND got their first confirmed wedding booking, on the same day! Beyond overjoyed! Thank you to the AMC, Jennifer, my INCREDIBLE mentor Alison Ann Celebrant, and everyone else on here; it’s a joy being on this journey with such inspiring (and kind) company. And I’ve just set up my Celebrant Directory profile BRING IT ON!
SARAH Sweeney, AMC GRADUATE
I have never been more passionate about anything else in my life.
I can honestly say that it has been the best learning experience of my life. Having worked in HR I have been on many courses, but none have impacted or inspired me as much as this one. Apart from teaching you how to become a celebrant I went on a whole personal journey as well. I can honestly say I know myself better now and I am filled with the confidence that this is the right role for me to carry out. I have never been more passionate about anything else in my life.
Simone Lee, AMC GRADUATE
By the time I had completed it I already had bookings for ceremonies lined up
I cannot recommend the Academy of Modern Celebrancy highly enough. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the course, by the time I had completed it I already had bookings for ceremonies lined up and all the tools I needed to be able to deliver them. You can do the course at your own pace, which was perfect for me as I could do it at weekends, and the support not only from Jennifer herself, but through the group calls with other students made me feel like I wasn’t doing it on my own. I am delighted I chose this route for my training.
Vikki Harris, AMC GRADUATE
I absolutely loved the experience!
The flexible distance learning, amazing mentor support, and all the aftercare resources made training with AMC such an incredible experience. The quality of the course content and the business guidance have been invaluable in launching Fox and Star Ceremonies.
Laura Bell, Namings & Wedding Graduate
This brings together all the best bits of my day job into something that's fun and meaningful.
Even though it’s distance learning, it never felt like distance at all — I felt really supported and part of a bigger community. It felt like I’d found my tribe — the training was brilliant from start to finish and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Vicky Harris, AMC Graduate
The support from AMC gave me everything I needed to step into this new career with confidence. I’m so excited for what’s ahead!
Janet Shell, AMC Graduate, Weddings
I never imagined I’d have three bookings before I’d even finished the course.
Training with AMC has been the best journey so far -I feel inspired, excited, and supported every step of the way.
I’ve not only started my celebrant career, I’ve also made friends for life through AMC.
Georgia, AMC Wedding Graduate
By the end of my first year I’d already delivered 7 weddings and 10 funerals – and it hasn’t slowed down since.
What started as training in January quickly became my full-time career – I’ve been working non-stop ever since.
I think all the work in the business module has helped enormously in terms of me building a brand and a business that I'm really happy with and says an awful lot about me. I feel like I've got all the tools to show off my business and show off who I am.
SARAH, AMC Master Celebrant Graduate
Performing my first real ceremony was the highlight of the whole course – what I once feared became my favourite part.
As a former English teacher, I’ve always loved writing and performing - celebrancy lets me use those skills in the most joyful way. I loved exploring symbolic rituals and discovering creative ways to weave culture and tradition into ceremonies.
The flexibility means I can fit my work around my family and lifestyle, and I wake up genuinely excited to do it.

Training with the AMC was the best thing I have ever done.
The course was all online so you could learn at your own pace, and you have access to so many training materials that were packed with content. The Academy is very forward thinking, modern and fresh and the community you become part of is very supportive and encouraging. You are never left on your own and are assigned a mentor to guide you through the course and give you feedback which is invaluable. I could not recommend the AMC enough!
