Step into the timeless beauty of handfasting. Learn with confidence
through personal guidance, practical demonstrations and heartfelt support so you
can create ceremonies that are meaningful, authentic and unforgettable.
Glenda brings together a strong teaching background,
experience as a marriage registrar, many years as a
professional celebrant and specialist knowledge gained
through conducting real Handfasting ceremonies.
Clear, supportive guidance built around practical understanding.
Years of first-hand ceremony experience with real couples and real
circumstances.
Teaching from extensive real ceremony experience, not from
a generic script or corporate course model.
Recognized for excellence in ceremony
creation and celebrant services.
“This isn’t a corporate learning platform. This is
learning with Glenda.”
Glenda’s role is to show celebrants what to do, how to do it why they’re doing it, and then give
them the understandinf and confidence to make it their own.
Understanding the origins, beliefs and established practices of different traditions and communities, including Celtic, Viking, shamanic and others.
The practical methods and
approaches Glenda has developed through years of actually creating and conducting Handfasting Ceremonies.
Taking that understanding and
developing a style that feels authentic to you and appropriate for the couples and communities you serve.
The intention is not to create copies of Glenda. It is to help celebrants understand what they are doing well enough to develop their own confident and authentic way of doing it.
Warm, useful and grounded learning designed around the realities of modern celebrancy.
Hands-on teaching that turns knowledge into practical ability you can use confidently in real ceremonies.
Focused, relevant learning built
specifically around the needs of celebrants and the couples they serve.
Respecting different faiths, traditions,
backgrounds, choices and values throughout Glenda’s teaching.
In this inspiring and practical online Masterclass, Celebrant
Glenda Procter, widely known as the Queen of Handfasting, shares knowledge, experience and understanding she has gained through years of creating and conducting real Handfasting ceremonies.
From intimate ceremonies at Glastonbury and within the ancient stones of Stonehenge to weddings, festivals and celebrations in extraordinary places, Glenda has developed a deeply personal and practical approach to Handfasting.
Her ceremonies are filled with meaning, symbolism and ritual, but they are always created around the individual couple, their story, their beliefs and the promises they wish to make.
This Masterclass brings that experience directly to you. Glenda will help you understand what you are doing, why you are doing it and how to create a Handfasting or Hand-tying ceremony that feels authentic to you and meaningful to your couples.
Whether you are beginning your celebrant journey or adding new ceremony skills, the Masterclass is designed to meet you where you are.

foundation and grow your confidence from the start.
