My name is Ceri Peacey
Ceri (sounds like “Kerry”) and I would love to assist you as you mark your life’s milestones. I am a certified Lifecycle Celebrant with the Celebrant Foundation & Institute – trained in both weddings and funerals and able to create and facilitate a ceremony for whatever life change comes your way. I am also certified in funerals with In-Sight Institute as a Life Tribute Professional. I am an ordained contemporary spiritual minister with CIMM.
On a personal note, I live a rural lifestyle in Hilliers with my husband John and what used to be a posse of cats and dogs – but now we’re down to one dog. I totally love forests and wetlands and am working actively with others towards preserving Hamilton Marsh. And I’m a bit of a geek – love creating websites.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
What is a Life-Cycle Celebrant®
Life-Cycle Celebrants® are masterfully trained in the art of ritual and ceremony. They are skilled ceremony officiants who perform and co-create customized ceremonies for weddings, funerals, and other life events, that reflect the needs, beliefs and values of the people they are honouring.
Weddings
Certified Lifecycle Celebrants® are here for everyone. As a Certified Lifecycle Wedding Celebrant I take the time to get to know you. I am certified by the Celebrant Foundation and Institute embraces a statement of ethics and a commitment to ensure that all couples have a positive, supportive experience from the moment you contact us to the day you say “I do”.
I’ll work with you to build a custom wedding ceremony that’s completely tailored to fit you and your love. I welcome your story and will honour and celebrate it wholly.
Funerals & Ceremonies of Remembrance
In collaboration with you and your family, I will carefully craft a eulogy and create a ceremony with music, quotes, readings, unique symbols and rituals. No ceremony is delivered unless every detail of the eulogy is checked and approved by the family.
With compassion, sincerity and great care, I will officiate the ceremony at the funeral home, crematorium, cemetery or memorial location of your choice.
Milestones
Celebrants perform many kinds of ceremonies for families and children, including baby namings and welcomings, ceremonies for adoptive families, coming of age celebrations for adolescents and ceremonies marking birthdays, graduations, family reunions and more.
Welcoming ceremonies for new family members, whether by birth, adoption or marriage, have existed in virtually every culture and country. Publicly marking the entry of new members into our families is perhaps one of the most joyous celebrations we can share, and acknowledging our responsibilities to our children one of the most serious commitments we can undertake.

Weddings
My goal is to create a ceremony that matches who you are as individuals and as a couple. To tell your story, honour your heritage, share your hopes and dreams and to create a ceremony that is meaningful to you. A ceremony that draws in your gathered loved ones so they feel a part of your big day rather than just spectators.
