Humanist weddings:

Your wedding, your way…..

Wouldn’t it be great to start your married life with a ceremony that genuinely reflects who you are?
A humanist ceremony gives you the opportunity to marry where you want, when you want, and how you want.

Humanist weddings are ceremonies focused on expressing the wishes, the sentiments and the essence of the couple who are declaring their life-long commitment to each other. They are non-religious ceremonies but inclusive; they are warm and personal moments of meaning, that can incorporate traditional or cultural ritual elements too e.g. handfasting.

You don’t need to identify as a humanist to have a humanist ceremony – although many people share humanist values without realising.

They can be conducted anywhere; indoors, outdoors, in your garden, in a field, on a hill, somewhere that is special to you and, if it happens to belong to someone else, with their permission of course!   Ceremonies can be as formal or as a casual as you want them to be, as they are reflections of the personalities involved and, as such, completely unique – no two ceremonies are the same.

All this is achieved by me getting to know and understand each couple; listening and working with you to create a custom-written ceremony. There will be plenty of opportunities for a few ‘tweaks’ too.

​Friends and family can be involved with readings, poetry, wedding blessings, music, and whatever else they can think of, adding another level of personalisation. Vows and promises can be written to each other and is, in my opinion, the most moving part of the ceremony. Ring exchanges can be as creative as you are.

Marriage of course represents the declaration and acknowledgement of the unity of two people and their freely chosen commitment to one another. This is without discrimination of race, gender, identity, or preference of any kind.

As a celebrant, I am able to bring life experience, professionalism and personality to support you with your wedding planning.

Humanist weddings aren’t legal in England and Wales, please therefore read the “marriage legal bit” on the drop down menu.

All Humanist wedding celebrants conduct same-sex weddings and vow renewal ceremonies; you don’t have to ask.

I am willing to travel to any location in the UK and aboard to conduct your wedding ceremony (travel and accommodation costs to be paid in addition to the ceremony).

Please contact me if I can help with your wonderful unique wedding ceremony.
