The National Celebrants' Convention

The National Celebrants’ Convention is an exciting and interesting day for ALL UK celebrants, as a dedicated event packed with speakers, workshops, exhibitors, and networking opportunities.

Friday, October 16th, 2026

The National Celebrants’ Convention offers delegates the opportunity to learn from not only our guest speakers, but it also provides a platform for related businesses and individuals to showcase the products and services they offer the wider celebrant community. This includes funeral directors, wedding suppliers, stationery suppliers, businesses, and many more.

The event has been organised by the Association of Independent Celebrants (AOIC) since 2024, taking over the reins from Civil Ceremonies, and the host team warmly welcomes celebrants from across the profession.
