My story so far…

I’m Andy Morant, a qualified Independent Celebrant.

My career has been very varied, often involved in agriculture and the countryside and always involving people. Folk are fascinating and the stories they tell endlessly rewarding.

I have been a farmer, advisor, photographer, trainer, instructor and coach. I have worked one-to-one with people, teams and groups from many walks of life.

I am a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants and carry their full insurance.

My Qualifications

Level 3 Diploma in Couples and Naming Ceremonies (Civil Ceremonies)

Level 3 Diploma in Funeral Celebrancy (Civil Ceremonies)

I hold diplomas in customer service, PTLLS (for teaching adults) and a bunch of driving and training qualifications, because I am also into cars and driving…

I went straight into work from Tech College, married young, and now have wonderful grown-up children and seven fantastic grandchildren. I used to call them (privately!) the seven dwarves but several of them are getting bigger than me now…

We have had dogs for many years, so lots of walking in the countryside, and in recent years have kept bees, which has been an amazing experience.

How did I get into this?

Two young friends and colleagues from my time as an HGV Instructor (yes I taught people to drive trucks amongst other things) asked me if I would officiate at their wedding. The whole experience was brilliant and I wanted to do more of the same.

“We used Andy as a Celebrant for our marriage ceremony, we could not recommend him highly enough. He was a commensurate professional throughout the whole process, from his diligent preparation through to his calm and pleasant manner on the day.”

Where do I cover?

We live in north Gloucestershire, just above the Forest of Dean, so our ‘home counties’ are Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire – hence the name Three Counties Ceremonies. However, I am very happy to travel to wherever your wedding is happening…and I mean wherever! If you’re prepared to pay my travel expenses and accommodation if needed, just say and I’ll be there!
