Articles previously published in The Celebrant



The Celebrant is the international journal that was regarded to be the premier professional journal for celebrants. It has now ceased print publication, though back copies are still available for purchase. The following articles are reposted with permission of the editor.

Consent, Celebrants and the 'Real Estate Factor'

The Celebrant, Issue 13, September 2022, pp 20-31
Facebook and Instagram posts by the Editor, Veronika Robinson, said this about this article: "An Absolute must-read article for any celebrant who claims to create ceremonies based on the client's beliefs."


Navigating Religion as a Civil Celebrant

The Celebrant, Issue 12, June 2022, pp 52-61
Facebook and Instagram posts by the Editor, Veronika Robinson, said this about this article: "An Absolute must-read article for any celebrant who claims to create ceremonies based on the client's beliefs."

The Power of the Subliminal: Celebrant-Led Ceremonies and Cultural Bias

In this article I discuss weddings as culturally loaded events shaped by multi-layered and multifaceted cultural influences and look at the subtle messages conveyed by the ceremony. Class Culture, Christian Culture, Consumer Culture, and Celebrity Culture are all in play.
The Celebrant, Issue 12, June 2022, pp 6-17

Consent, Ceremonies. and Celebrants

In this article I explore the three types of consent that are relevant to getting married and wedding ceremonies: Real Consent, Informed Consent, and Intimate Consent and how each of these plays out in the context of the ceremony to ensure it is both legal and ethical.
The Celebrant, Issue 10, December 2021, pp 59-68
Facebook and Instagram posts by the Editor, Veronika Robinson, said this about this article: "Without doubt, this is one of the most important topics of all for celebrants, and one not covered by training schools with any of the depth and insight this author has shown. If you think you know what consent means, I can assure you that you don't unless you've read (understood and integrated) this. Your celebrant work will change if you bring this level of awareness into your practice."

Moral Rights: It's Personal

Infringement of your moral rights can have a devastating impact on your reputation. Updated to include comments about the use of artificial intelligence writing tools.
The Celebrant, Issue 8, June 2021, pp 8-13


Copyright: It's Economic

Copyright is an economic right designed to protect the earning capacity of the creator of a work. The most likely ways in which someone might infringe a celebrant's copyright would be by downloading and uploading to their own website, republishing in any form, adapting and using or publishing or performing the "work" in a public space without having your permission to do so.

An examination of  various price-setting strategies used by celebrants
The Celebrant, Issue 7, March 2021, pp 68-78
"In this excellent article by @jennifercraminclusivecelebrant about Setting Celebrant Fees in a Regulated Environment you can get a good sense of the restrictions and responsibilities that UK celebrants will work under if the desired laws come into being. It is wise for us to go into this with eyes wide open" - Veronika Robinson
