Celebrant Training Australia Workshop and Course Reviews:
See what just a few of our many happy workshop participants have to say about Celebrant Training Australia’s workshops and courses….
“Elevate Your Celebrancy Business: Mastering the Art of Self-Marketing”
“I did this course with Sue on Tuesday night and it was brilliant. I especially appreciated the personal coaching we got on our individual websites, business cards, branding etc. I have a ton of notes to formalise and actions to undertake to improve my branding and marketing. Money well spent and lots learned in the 2 hours. Highly recommended!!”
Magda Whiteman, SA
“Hi Sheridan, I’ve just completed my training session on Marketing with Sue. I just wanted to let you know that it was a great 2 hours. I picked up several fabulous ideas on how to get referrals that lead to definite bookings. It was informative, relevant and very enjoyable. I will be making some changes as soon as I can. Thanks so much Sue and thank you Sheridan. I look forward to future training with your group of trainers.”
Julie Cadger, NSW
“Well, I not only used that copy for the online advert but I revamped the landing page on my website. I took out all the copy that was just another version of what nearly every other celebrant says and replaced it with the poetry. Six days later I got a booking from someone who’d seen it and loved my style.
I have done other “marketing” workshops where I’ve learnt about creating social media content, but not what that content should be. That is what I learnt from Sue. What I hadn’t expected was how empowering it would be, and how it would give me the confidence I needed to promote myself.”
Sally-Ann Thomas, Qld
“Hello Sheridan, I completed the Zoom session “Marketing Yourself and your Celebrancy Business” with Sue Henthorn last night. Sue is a very enthusiastic presenter who gives it her all. She is very motivating and gives many personal scenarios from her experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and feel motivated to do more now.”
Jenny Ross, Qld
“Let’s Bring it ALL Together: Mastering Rehearsals and Ceremony Management!”

When I contacted Sheridan Bryant about the possibility of enrolling the the Funeral Celebrants Course scheduled for later that week, she was professional and welcoming.
