Hello Falmingos, happy Wedding Season!!!

This month marks the one-year anniversary at the helm of TCS for Gaz and I, and what a year it has been. We truly couldn't have done it without each and every one of you incredible members.

(Want Gazza to read you a summary instead? Click Here For Video)

In the last 12 months as a community we’ve:

• Boosted website traffic by 50% 🚀
  
  

• Reconfigured the directory, added Find a Celebrant Fast and a slick new direct contact form so couples can reach you instantly
  
  

• Opened the Member-to-Member Directory for peer support and collabs
  
  

• Rolled out the Funeral Celebrant Directory
  
  

• Made Celebrant Conversations monthly (more experts, more often)
  
  

• Brought back our annual in-person conference (Woo Melbourne '26!)
  
  

• Automated insurance so everything ticks over neatly on July 1
  
  

• Celebrated 4 States of Branding & Bonding and held 47 Events
  
  

• Made so many new wonderful friends around the country
  
  

• Launched the TWS YouTube channel (with conference welcome videos)
  
  

• Delivered even more discounts on websites, PA systems, courses, and software
  
  

• Kept our Newbie Zooms running strong for those just starting out
  
  

• Oh, and… had a baby 👶 (hello Hazel!)
  
  

We absolutely couldn’t have done it without this community, and especially the incredible energy and support from our local leaders Dee, Roxy, and Alison who are the absolute shining stars of The Celebrant Society.

And we’re not slowing down. This year, we’re gearing up for:

• Driving more traffic and more leads straight to your directory listing
  
  

• Expanding the members’ area with fresh training, courses, and resources
  
  

• Helping you get even more from the Member-to-Member Directory
  
  

• And of course… hosting a kick-ass Melbourne conference in 2026 (read more below and get registered!)

Here’s to another year of good times, biz development, community, and champagne-worthy wins! 

Lots of love and hugs,

Georgie, Gazza and Hazel xxx
