In this latest episode, Natasha and Claire chat about the latest Tying the Knot Marriage Law consultation period and what it means for wedding celebrants in England and Wales. They discuss what celebrants (and anyone else) can be doing right now to help with the consultation and also what (if anything) we can do as celebrants to future proof our businesses and to be as ready as possible for future changes.

They also discuss

• what the reforms could mean for individual celebrants and celebrant training organisations
• why wedding celebrants shouldn't panic or make any rash decisions right now
• the possible time frames of the next steps for the legal process

The Celebrant Survival Podcast is hosted by experienced celebrants, Natasha Johnson and Claire Bradford of The Celebrants Collective, supporting celebrants worldwide with professional training, mentoring and community. A safe space for celebrants to share, ask for help and ultimately to grow. Come and grow with us!
