Celebrant Ceremonies

Last reviewed: October 15, 2026. Business status: Active.

Celebrant Ceremonies is an Ottawa wedding celebrant resource for couples seeking a personalized ceremony in Ottawa, Eastern Ontario or Western Quebec. The official regional page presents a network of life-cycle celebrants and ceremony officiants, including wedding-related services in the Ottawa, Gatineau and Outaouais areas. It also invites visitors to book a no-obligation interview.

The information available for this listing comes from the company’s official website and was last reviewed on October 15, 2026. The site provides regional coverage and professional descriptions, but it does not publish a single business address, a package list or wedding prices. Couples should therefore use the initial conversation to confirm which celebrant is available for their location and ceremony requirements.

Services and specialization

Celebrant Ceremonies describes celebrancy as a way to create ceremonies that reflect a person’s values, beliefs and intentions. The official material discusses ceremonies for weddings, end-of-life events, baby ceremonies and other important life transitions. For couples, the relevant offering is a wedding ceremony prepared and officiated by a celebrant or ceremony officiant.

The Ottawa-area page identifies Carrie Fawcett as a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant, Ceremonialist and Licensed Wedding Officiant. It also identifies Jennifer Boyes-Manseau as a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant and Quebec-licensed wedding celebrant. Other listed celebrants have different service descriptions, so couples should confirm which individual would conduct their wedding.

• Wedding ceremonies are included among the services described on the official website.
• The celebrancy approach is presented as personalized and meaningful rather than as a fixed ceremony format.
• A no-obligation interview is offered through the official site.

Service area and who it may suit

The official regional page lists Ottawa and area counties, and states that Carrie Fawcett serves Ottawa, Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, with other destinations available on request. It separately identifies Jennifer Boyes-Manseau as serving Gatineau, Ottawa, the Outaouais region and other destinations on request. The page also lists coverage for Renfrew County, Lanark County and the City of Ottawa through another celebrant.

This may suit couples who want to discuss the content and tone of their ceremony with an officiant rather than select only from a standard script. It may also be relevant to couples planning in Ottawa, Gatineau or nearby eastern Ontario and western Quebec communities. The site does not provide a complete travel boundary for every celebrant, so location should be confirmed directly.

• Named areas include Ottawa, Gatineau, the Outaouais region and Eastern Ontario.
• Other destinations are described as available on request for some celebrants.
• The appropriate officiant may depend on the ceremony location and applicable provincial requirements.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature of Celebrant Ceremonies is its emphasis on ceremony design and the life-cycle celebrant model. The About Celebrancy page explains that ceremonies are intended to honour individual beliefs, values, transitions and relationships. It also describes training in ceremony structure, ritual and symbolism, and identifies wedding-related training within the founder’s background.

There are practical information gaps for couples comparing providers. The supplied official pages do not publish an address for the business, a complete wedding package menu, prices, guest-capacity guidance or a current availability calendar. The regional page also presents several individual celebrants with different names, credentials, service areas and contact details. Confirm the specific person and terms before treating any general site statement as the details of your booking.

• Documented strengths include a stated focus on personalized ceremonies and celebrant training.
• The website does not provide a single business address or one universal service description for every listed celebrant.
• Availability, travel arrangements and the responsible officiant are not published in the supplied evidence.

Pricing

Prices are not published. The supplied official pages contain no wedding package prices or fee schedule, so couples should request a written quotation during or after the no-obligation interview.

Ask whether the quoted fee covers the consultation, ceremony writing or customization, rehearsal attendance, travel, filing-related responsibilities and any changes requested after the ceremony plan is approved. These items are not specified in the supplied evidence and may need to be confirmed with the individual celebrant.

• Prices are not published.
• Request the fee, inclusions and payment schedule directly from the relevant celebrant.
• Confirm whether travel to your venue or a destination outside the listed area adds a charge.

Contact and booking

The official Ottawa-area page displays 343 571 2979 and the email address [email protected] for Carrie Fawcett. It invites couples to book a no-obligation interview. The same page lists separate contact details for other celebrants, including those serving Gatineau, Ottawa, the Outaouais region, Renfrew County and Lanark County.

Because the page represents multiple celebrants, the first contact should identify the wedding date, venue or municipality, preferred language if relevant, ceremony style and whether the couple needs an Ontario or Quebec-licensed officiant. The official website is the appropriate place to determine which listed celebrant should handle the enquiry.

• Telephone: 343 571 2979.
• Email shown for Carrie Fawcett: [email protected].
• The website offers a no-obligation interview.
• Use the official regional page to compare the listed celebrants’ service areas and contact details.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm the celebrant’s full name, credentials and licensing status for the province where the ceremony will take place. The website identifies Ontario and Quebec qualifications for specific individuals, but the supplied evidence does not establish that every listed celebrant has the same authorization.

Also ask how the ceremony is developed, how many meetings are included, whether the couple can write or approve the wording, and what happens if the date or venue changes. Confirm travel coverage, rehearsal arrangements, signing and filing responsibilities, backup arrangements and the cancellation or postponement terms. None of these commercial or operational details is published in the supplied evidence.

Finally, request a written summary of the agreed ceremony, fee and responsibilities. This is especially important when selecting among several celebrants with different territories and professional descriptions.

• Which named celebrant will conduct the ceremony?
• Is that celebrant licensed or otherwise authorized for the province of the wedding?
• What meetings, ceremony drafting and revisions are included?
• Are travel, rehearsal, filing and postponement terms included in the quotation?
• What are the cancellation terms and backup arrangements?

About the celebrant approach

The company’s About Celebrancy page explains that celebrants create ceremonies intended to be meaningful, personal and respectful of the couple’s values and beliefs. It presents celebrancy as an alternative for people who do not want to choose only between a religious ceremony and a city-hall-style event.

For couples considering this approach, the main decision is not simply whether an officiant is available. It is whether the proposed process, ceremony wording and level of collaboration suit the event. An interview can help establish that fit, while the written agreement should settle the practical details.

• The official explanation places emphasis on personal meaning, ritual and ceremony structure.
• Couples should evaluate the proposed process with the specific celebrant rather than assume all listed celebrants work identically.
