Ask a Celebrant!

Savannah, GA, US

About us

Need advice or ideas for wedding blessings, rituals, or rites for any type of celebration coming up? Let's meet and get some ideas flowing!

As a celebrant/Officiant trained by the globally recognized "School of Celebrancy" (yes, that is in fact it's name), partnered with training from the OBOD (Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids), I would love to give any advice, tips or help create an idea unique to your needs and views (as long as it has pure motive and intent).

Are you hung up on your wedding vows? Need an Officiant for a wedding or hand fasting? A solstice/equinox celebration? Did a particularly important full/new moon sneak up on you? Need ideas for ceremonies, rites, or blessings? Discover a new name calling to you from the depths of your innermost being to shed a past version of yourself? Let's figure this out together!

WHAT THIS IS AND WHAT THIS IS NOT!

There are many people that have unique and beautiful ways to celebrate this crazy experience we call life! Whether you are Heathen, Druid, Pagan, Wiccan, Christian or other, let's meet with respect, understanding and the chance to take in what it means to connect and celebrate all of life's joys, or even consecrate and bless life's sorrows.
-----------------
WHAT IT IS:

First and foremost, I am blessed in my spirit and I beleive that too often, events of any kind, simple or elaborate are taken advantage of for monetary gain, which then takes a toll on the true reason for the celebration.

That being said, if you cannot afford a Celebrant/Officiant, or are so deep in the other stresses of the nitty gritty details, let me help be one less thing to worry about!

I do NOT expect any form of payment for my services, if you feel like I have helpped in any way meaningful, than whatever blessing you so choose to give back to either me, the community, or nature on my behalf (as long as it is pure of intent) will be most welcomed!

And finally, what this is??? A time to celebrate of course! Let's shake some ideas loose over a coffee, some drinks, axe throwing, in a library, or park, forest, or church!

A time to take advantage of someone with pure intentions, I will see right through your motives to the core of what you are really desiring.

It is not a time to try to convert myself, or ANYONE ELSE AROUND to your way of thinking and beliefs. If in a public group setting with a few people with questions, be respectful to others and their faiths and walks of life. You will be asked to leave immediately upon trying to step on someone else's faith or beliefs, preach, or attempting to convert another individual.

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN'T BELEIVE THE SAME THINGS AS YOU, DOES NOT MEAN THEY AUTOMATICALLY HATE YOU, WANT TO HARM YOU, OR WANT TO SEND YOU TO A PUNISHMENT REALM!

Philosophical, ethical, and moral questions are absolutely encouraged, but go into these with the mindset of a student to learn, not to fight and convert.

AGAIN FOR THOSE THAT MISSED IT:
NO FIGHTING OR PREACHING SERMONS TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO INTEREST IN WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY! As a 6'5 former bouncer, wind turbine technician, and renewable energy worker, I will toss you out if you refuse and disrespect these rules.

ANYWAYS, now that we got the good, the bad, and other out of the way, here is some more about me!

My name is Torbin Ulfson. My journey into celebrancy began with a deep-rooted commitment to serving my community's growing need for authentic and professional representation. Whether you are looking for a wedding, handfasting rite, a baby welcoming, or a renewal of vows, naming ceremonies or any other event. My goal is to create a space where happiness, love, joy, and of course celebration can flow through us, touching everyone present with blessings and beauty to remember for years to come.

I understand the importance of authenticity and the misconceptions that can sometimes surround certain rites and paths. Having chosen these studies from a young age and being certified in the UK, as well as an Officiant in most states in the USA, this personal experience allows me to offer a unique perspective and a heartfelt connection to each unique and special celebration.

When you choose me as your celebrant, you are choosing someone who values honesty and integrity above all else. I believe that every occasion should be as unique as the individuals involved, with original and personalized activities that reflect your true self. I am, and will be honored to help you celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with purity, understanding and grace.
