THE PROBLEM
Many celebrants juggle six different tools. You deserve one.
Many celebrants end up paying monthly for a handful of separate tools to run a one-person business — and the real cost isn't only money, it's your evenings. Here's what changes when it all lives in one place.
The old way
- Spreadsheets for client lists
- Email chains for questionnaires
- Google Docs for ceremony scripts
- Separate invoicing software
- Handwritten compliance checklists
- Paper forms or another app for bookings
The Ceranova way
- All your clients and ceremonies in one place
- Questionnaires, scripts, and contracts together
- Professional invoicing built in
- Compliance vault for FOA and more
- Your own public booking page
- Built for UK wedding and funeral celebrants
WHY CELEBRANTS MOVE TO CERANOVA
Less juggling. More presence.
Walk into every ceremony fully prepared.
Every client, every detail, every script and reading sits beside the ceremony it belongs to. No hunting across apps the night before — just open the ceremony and everything is there.
Keep every deadline in view.
Ceranova quietly watches the dates you can't afford to forget — and emails you before they arrive. For funeral celebrants, that includes automatic reminders ahead of your Obitus music-submission deadline, so the submission is one less thing to worry about.
Get paid without the awkward chase.
Raise a professional, itemised invoice in seconds, send it by email, and mark it paid when the bank transfer lands. Bill couples directly or invoice the funeral director on their payment terms — both are built in.
Stay on top of compliance.
Keep your DBS check, public liability, CPD record and complaints log in one vault. For documents with renewal dates, it tracks expiry and emails you in good time before they lapse — so your FOA standing rarely becomes a last-minute scramble.
Hand your couples and families a polished front door.
Your own booking page lets enquirers pick a consultation slot that fits your real availability, with confirmation emails sent automatically. Professional from the very first click.
Keep your books quietly in order.
Log expenses, track your profit by UK tax year, and hand your accountant a ready-made Xero CSV at year end. (A lightweight bookkeeping layer — enough to keep you organised between you and your accountant, not a full ledger.)

Draft scripts, send questionnaires and contracts

ONE TOOL INSTEAD OF MANY
The stack you're paying for every month — folded into one.
Many celebrants quietly subscribe to a handful of separate tools to run a one-person business. Below is an illustrative picture of what that typically looks like — your own mix will differ. The point is simply how quickly small monthly subscriptions add up.

*Illustrative estimates only, based on typical published UK / early-2026 pricing for tools in each category. Prices vary by plan and provider — treat this as a guide, not a quote.
Adding even a modest stack together — a CRM, a booking tool, e-signatures and online forms — could typically run to £50 or more a month, and that's before bookkeeping. That's over £480 across a year, and that cost repeats every year.
Ceranova starts at £19.99 a month — one calm tool in place of that whole stack. Pay monthly, save with an annual plan, or buy it once and own it for life. For many celebrants it pays for itself within the first month.
A note on honesty: the bookkeeping and document features in Ceranova are purpose-built for celebrant work — a cash-basis profit summary with accountant-ready Xero export, and a compliance vault for FOA documents — rather than full general-purpose replacements for accounting or file-storage tools. We'd rather tell you that than oversell it.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions.
How does pricing work?
Start free for 14 days — no card required. After that, choose what suits you: £19.99 a month, £199 a year (which works out cheaper than monthly), or a one-off £399 lifetime licence — buy once and it's yours for the life of the service, with no recurring charge. You can cancel a monthly or annual plan anytime.
Does it work for both weddings and funerals?
Yes — Ceranova is built for celebrants who officiate both. Each ceremony is separately tagged as a wedding or funeral, and the correct workflows, compliance requirements, and script templates apply automatically. You can also use it for just one type if that is all you do.
Do I need a credit card to start the trial?
No. Start your 14-day free trial with just your email address — no card required. You only pay if you decide to keep using Ceranova after the trial ends.
Is my client data secure and GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Your data is stored on UK/EU servers (London region). Ceranova has GDPR baked in from the ground up: client records automatically delete after 7 years, you can download a full export of all your data at any time, and you can request complete account deletion. Special-category data (such as religious preferences) is handled with extra care.
Does Ceranova use AI?
Only if you want it to. AI help is completely optional and switched off by default. If you choose to turn it on, it can draft a rough outline from your own notes — which you then rewrite in your own words. You are always the author. For funerals it stays off unless you deliberately enable it, and you can use Ceranova fully without ever touching it.
Who is Ceranova built for?
Independent UK wedding and funeral celebrants. If you are a self-employed celebrant managing your own clients, Ceranova replaces the spreadsheets, Google Docs, and separate invoicing tools you are currently juggling. It is a solo tool — not designed for agencies or large teams.
Can I buy Ceranova outright instead of subscribing?
Yes. The one-off £399 lifetime licence lets you buy Ceranova once and own it forever — a single payment with no recurring charge, yours for the life of the service. If you'd rather not commit up front, the £19.99/month plan is the easy way in, and you can switch to lifetime later.
FROM THE FOUNDER
Why I built Ceranova
I'm Samuel, the founder. I kept meeting celebrants who were brilliant at the part that matters — the ceremony — but drowning in the admin around it: a spreadsheet here, a Word template there, contracts in email, invoices somewhere else, a diary that never quite matched.
So I built the tool I wished they had: one calm place for every wedding and every funeral you lead, made in the UK, with your clients' data treated with the care this work deserves. It's just me building it — I answer your emails personally — and you can export everything you put in, whenever you like.
— Samuel
