Martin Elliott – Rite of Passage Celebrant

In many societies, there are key ages when families celebrate a Rite of Passage. In the Hebrew faith, a bar mitzvah is held to celebrate the transition of a young person from childhood to adulthood (12 years of age for girls and 13 years of age for boys).

Martin will create a non-religious ceremony for a family so that they can mark the transition into adulthood of their sons and daughters. A Ceremony with formality, dignity, and a sense of compassion and fun!

There are families, who would like a formal ceremony with family and friends in attendance, to celebrate the coming of age of their young adults as they turn 21. Martin can create a non-religious ceremony to mark this special “coming of age” that can be held before or during a family dinner or party.

At key birthdates as we age, families acknowledge important milestones; especially in the later years. Celebrating Granddads’s 75th birthday with a formal celebration of his life can be a very warm and emotional occasion. Why do we eulogize someone when they have died? Why not celebrate their lifetime achievements when they are alive! Martin can create such a ceremony with family involvement and then lead the ceremony.

In all these ceremonies the key to its success is the involvement of as many family members as possible to help create the ceremony.

Some of the special features of Marin Elliott’s ceremonies which people can choose to avail themselves of include:
