Jeanne du Nord, B.A., M.A., is a celebrant with a background that has prepared her to blend elements of tradition, music and individual significance into unique, personalized ceremonies. Her background in history, mythology and the bardic tradition makes her a skilled listener, interested in hearing family stories, heritage, and elements of ethnicity. From these meaningful aspects of her clients’ lives, she weaves a ceremony from what came before, who the clients are today, and what they believe should be carried into the future.

Jeanne brings her extensive experience as a writer and award-winning playwright, teacher, public speaker, and event producer to her work. Ceremonies are designed with respect for people and their value systems, their choice of poetry, prose, music, choreography, pageantry, and symbolism. She listens, assists, and helps create the ceremony but although an ordained minister, her strong belief is that ultimately the ceremony must be a meaningful expression of the beliefs of her clients.
