Vlady Peters BA, JP, CMC
Celebrant and author of Celebrant Resources and Wedding and Honeymoon books for couples.
Attended with Tania Robinson Ongoing Professional Development course conducted by Cheryl Landsberry of AssentTech. It was held at Brisbane International Hotel at Virginia where years ago I conducted my very first Handfasting Wedding Ceremony. (Incidentally, whatever happened to this one-time popular ritual?)
As usual there were three topics, including Marriage Documents, Networking using Social Media, and Reaffirmation Ceremonies.
The group of fifty or so Marriage Celebrants attending the course from as far as Cairns showed creativity and insights into the celebrancy business.
At the break we enjoyed a varied menu of curries, vegetables, rice, noodles, salads and fresh fruit.
It was a very pleasant way to end the Marriage Celebrant Year.
