Our Objectives

The Irish Ethical Celebrant Society aims to create, nurture, and inspire ethical communities. This is to foster a world that is democratic, compassionate, just, and sustainable. We are an inclusive organisation that embraces the diversity of our membership and our clients, and focuses on human goodness and building relationships with each other.

We recognise the worth and dignity of all people regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, economic status, level of ability, or religious beliefs.

Each Member advocates for reason, compassion, and rational thinking so we can progress as individuals, communities, and a world.

We act to elicit the best in others and thereby in ourselves, celebrating with and supporting each other through life.

We realise the full capacity of our human spirit when we stimulate our thinking with new insights and inspirations.

To ensure the highest quality and professionalism of our celebrants, members of the Irish Ethical Celebrants Society receive continuous training and support. Only celebrants who carry the IECS logo are members of the Irish Ethical Celebrants Society.
