Place of worship gets a celebrant excited (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tabernacle

'place of worship' is the definition.
(tabernacle is a kind of place of worship)

'a celebrant excited' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'celebrant'='acelebrant'
'acelebrant' anagrammed gives 'TABERNACLE'.

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tabernacle that I've seen before include "Portable tent" , "Tent for the Ark of the Covenant" , "Mormon meeting-place" , "Place of worship; sacrament box" , "Mormon place of worship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
