Mentoring Options & Your Investment
Before committing, take advantage of a complimentary introductory conversation with the professional mentor of your choice. During the call we’ll discuss your professional development needs and determine whether we can help.
We recognise that different celebrants have different needs and goals therefore each programme will
be completely tailored to the individual celebrant creating a bespoke package.
Support programmes will look different for wedding celebrants compared to funeral celebrants. A working funeral celebrant, for example, may benefit from regular on-going support with shorter check-in sessions on a weekly basis. Ongoing support for a wedding celebrant is more likely to take the form of longer, monthly or quarterly sessions. It all depends where you are on
your celebrant journey and which industry you are focusing on.
You can choose to invest in either a one-off individual mentoring session with your chosen mentor or alternatively book a mentoring support package.
Individual Celebrant Support Session – standard price £60 p/hour – community rate £49 p/hour
3 Hour Celebrant Support Package – a three-hour block timetabled to suit both you and your mentor; typically, this would constitute an initial session with follow-up appointments. Standard price £180 – community rate £140
Ongoing Celebrant support Package – over 6 to 12 months Book a block of time with your mentor and agree how you wish to apportion it. (for example, a 3 hour block at the Community rate is £140). Your mentor will provide a quote for other alternatives.
Funeral Celebrants – possible options:
Your 3 hour block could be split into an Initial session of 30 to 60 minutes followed by a package of weekly/fortnightly sessions of 15 to 30 mins
Wedding Celebrants – possible options:
Your 3 hour block could be split into monthly or quarterly check-in sessions (30 to 45 minutes per session)
Please note – To qualify for a Celebrant Mentoring package you will have already completed a celebrant wedding or funeral training programme.
