APC Celebrant Awards | London 2026
We were delighted to host the fifth APC Celebrant Awards, celebrating the outstanding work of our celebrant members. The winners were announced at our awards ceremony on Friday, 17 April 2026.
The 2026 Awards Night was an evening of glitz, glamour, and outstanding achievement, truly worthy of our very own Academy Oscars. It was a night dedicated not only to celebration, but to recognising excellence across every corner of The Academy of Professional Celebrants.
With a diverse range of award categories, the evening shone a spotlight on the exceptional talent, dedication, and genuine passion that define our celebrant community. From rising stars to seasoned professionals, each award told a story of commitment, growth, and impact, honouring those who consistently go above and beyond to create meaningful ceremonies and unforgettable moments for others.
The APC Celebrant Awards are divided into the following categories:
The Most Supportive Celebrant
Excellence in Client Care
The Best New Celebrant
Inspiration Award
Each presentation was a highlight in itself, with Obitus proudly presenting the awards and adding an extra layer of prestige to every winner’s moment. Applause filled the room as finalists were recognised and winners stepped forward to accept their accolades, each one a testament to the hard work and heart they bring to their role.
The atmosphere throughout the evening was nothing short of electric. Anticipation built with every category announced, and the room was alive with celebration, support, and shared pride. Between awards, guests were treated to spellbinding table magic, inspirational speakers, and phenomenal live entertainment, all seamlessly woven together to create a truly immersive experience. A carefully curated menu completed the evening, ensuring every detail reflected the elegance of a red-carpet occasion.
But beyond the trophies and titles, the evening was about something even greater: connection. It was a chance to come together, celebrate each other’s successes, and recognise the journey every celebrant is on. The pride in the room was undeniable.
And of course, the celebrations didn’t end with the final award… we danced the night away in true style, closing an extraordinary evening filled with joy, laughter, and lasting memories.
