As Season 1 of Beyond the Ceremony comes to a close, host Laura Crockett steps behind the mic for a final, solo episode, answering the real questions you’ve been sending in all season.

Laura is a practising celebrant and mentor at the Academy of Modern Celebrancy, and for this finale, she opens up a sparkly pot of audience questions and answers them live, unscripted, and honestly.

From the practical realities of running a celebrant business to confidence, boundaries, creativity, and career sustainability, this episode offers a grounded look at what celebrancy really involves behind the scenes.

In this episode, Laura explores:

[01:15] How do wedding-only celebrants manage the off-season?
What does winter look like when most weddings happen in summer, and how do celebrants stay busy and financially stable?

[04:25] When do you know your brand identity as a celebrant?
How and when does a celebrant’s brand become clear, and does it change over time?

[06:22] What’s the best advice you’ve been given as a celebrant?
The guidance that has had the biggest impact on confidence, mindset, and business growth.

[08:31] Do people have expectations of a celebrant (for example, age)?
Are couples or families influenced by age, life stage, or perceived experience when choosing a celebrant?

[10:40] What does a typical week look like for a celebrant?
How much behind-the-scenes time goes into one ceremony, beyond the ceremony day itself?

[12:23] How do you plan holidays and time off during peak season?
Managing summer bookings, family life, and boundaries without burnout.

[14:49] Are there life events you’d like to see celebrated more often?
Beyond weddings and funerals, what milestones deserve ceremony?

[17:20] Do you rehearse the whole wedding ceremony?
What rehearsals are actually for, and what’s most important to practise.

[19:16] How do you manage sickness or emergencies as a self-employed celebrant?
Contingency planning, community support, and professional responsibility.

[22:35] Aside from training, what should celebrants invest in for their business?
Equipment, marketing, CPD, and practical investments that support long-term success.

This episode is especially valuable for anyone exploring celebrancy as a career, newly trained celebrants finding their feet, or those curious about the realities of working in this space long-term.

It’s honest, reassuring, practical, and full of small insights that only come from lived experience.
