A CELEBRANT based in Winchester has been shortlisted as one of the best in the country.

Miranda Ash has been nominated for the Best National Celebrant Award in the 2021 The Celebrant Industry Awards (TCIA) hosted by The Celebrant Directory.

As an industry first, these global awards are set to recognise those delivering excellence as nominated by fellow celebrant colleagues, industry suppliers, couples and families.

Miranda is an independent wedding celebrant with Celebrations for All covering Hampshire and the south each.

Founder of TCIA and The Celebrant Directory, Jennifer Claire Constant said: “I am so excited to finally launch these awards to shout loudly about our fantastic Celebrant community and really recognise the talent we have.”

She continued: “The past year has shown how integral Celebrants are within the funeral and weddings industry, working and supporting families through life-changing events. I’m really proud of how our members have come together and have made a difference in times of such hardship in 2020-21.”
