This is the place to come when something significant is happening in your life - a milestone - which you would like to mark in some way.

You may be:

  • Getting married
  • Changing career
  • Celebrating the birth of a child
  • Coming of age
  • Retiring
  • Marking a personal breakthrough
  • Recommitting yourselves as partners
  • Celebrating a significant birthday
  • Getting divorced
  • Honouring the anniversary of a group/partnership/business
  • Moving house/town/country
  • Celebrating special friendship
  • Recovering from illness
  • Farewelling a loved one
  • Experiencing any of a myriad of transitions or events


The above are but some of the many events which occur in our lives, the meaning of which can be acknowledged and celebrated in unique, personal and profound ways. This is often done by way of a ceremony or ritual. However, these words can deter some people who sense they may be too big, too formal or involve a lot of work. In fact, ceremonies and rituals can fall anywhere on the scale from small, private, simple events through to lavish extravaganzas. The important ingredient is that the meaning is marked in a way that uniquely reflects the person or people concerned. And so we use the term Life Celebration to describe the marking of significant milestones with meaning.

This website is intended to evolve over time to provide inspiration and resources for your particular life celebrations. We encourage people to mark their milestones, whether they are the traditionally recognised ones, such as births and marriages, or some of the newly-emerging life celebrations, such as entry into adulthood or honouring a personal transition. It is through this act that we actively embrace our own experiences of life. Life celebrations give us the opportunity to pause, reflect on and appreciate our journey. When a group of people meet for such an event, the space is created both to express and to listen to what really matters in our lives.

So, once again, welcome to this Life Celebrations website. Please do contact us so we know what you have enjoyed here, or found inspiring or helpful so far. We would also like to hear about what else you would like included in future. Email us.

In the meantime, go well, and celebrate the star of your life.
