I'm Claire Mountain, founder of IPC Celebrant Training. I have trained professional celebrants since 2010 as an NOCN Approved Centre, and I was named Celebrant Trainer of the Year (Worldwide) in 2018. Before that, I spent 25 years with British Airways, where I learned to stay calm, read a room and look after people at the moments that matter most. I wrote these guides for families and friends who have been asked to lead a ceremony for someone they love, so you can do it with confidence.
