A little about The Celebrant Suite and it's creator, Ron Hoare...
The Celebrant suite was born out of a desire by Ron as a Celebrant to be able to create and present professional documents not only to marrying couples, but also to the Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages. The first release of the software Australia wide was on the 11th January 2013.
Progressive ongoing development by Ron, and his wife Sylvia as his Secretary, saw many feature and cosmetic changes to the program with various updates being released as they were made. In 2013 an association began between Ron and the then Whitsunday Wedding Celebrant, Ivan Conway, which has developed into a long-term friendship. During this time Ron challenged Ivan with the creation of The Celebrant Connection program which is an online version that could be used on any smart device with an internet connection. After many hours of development by Ivan and the “moving of the bar” by Ron, the professional version of The Celebrant Suite was released Australia wide on the 21st June 2015 with many ongoing improvements made since.
The Celebrant Suite software is a “work in progress” and is the preferred Celebrant software program used by many Celebrants, Pastors and Ministers Australia wide and will continue to develop and improve as new ideas, legislation and changes are introduced.

In 2021 Ron decided that it was time to hang up his hat and handed The Celebrant Suite over to his daughter-in-law.
Since then, along with Ivan’s ongoing support, expertise and knowledge The Celebrant Suite Desktop Edition has seen many upgrades, additions and improvements and The Celebrant Suite and Celebrant Connection Web Editions were developed and launched with huge success.
The Celebrant Suite Web Edition continues to be developed to offer more features and flexibility for Celebrants.
