Here’s the place where you’ll find all the document templates Sarah has developed over the course of her celebrant career (and even some from Josh!), in Word format so you can download them and vary them to fit with your own business. Let us know if you have any questions on a specific template, or if there’s anything not here that you’d like to see!

Please note your purchase of these templates buys you a licence to use and modify the template in your own celebrant business, not to share the template with other celebrants or celebrancy students. If someone asks you where you got your great template, we’d appreciate it if you could send them our way!
