Weddings, Partnerships and Vow Renewals

Congratulations, you must be very excited, so much to do and such an adventure to start on.  Whether it’s a traditional style wedding, or something more unusual, a Humanist Wedding Ceremony, can certainly make your day, just that, your day!

Whatever ceremony you want…FUN..SINCERE…TRADITIONAL…WHACKY…a mixture of all!

Humanist wedding ceremonies provide it for you, the only things we can’t do is provide religion or a legally binding ceremony.

At present Humanist marriages are legally recognised in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but not in England, though we hope that will happen in the not too distant future.

Most couples do the legalities at a registry office, before what they often consider to be their ‘proper wedding’ a few days later, in a place and a way that is personal to them.

That’s where I come in, I can help you plan a wedding ceremony that totally says something about you as a couple, the reason you’re so good together, what’s meaningful for you and your hopes for the future.

Together we’ll aim for memorable day, so when you’re celebrating that silver anniversary, people will say, ‘I remember the day well, so great and so you’.

Importantly, to create your perfect day, don’t be afraid to look around to find your perfect celebrant…remember it’s your day!

So am I the perfect celebrant for you?

I’m easy going, down to earth and open to your ideas and can help expand on them if you would like.  The weddings I do don’t have to be costly razzmatazz affairs to make them special.

You can create a wedding that is different and special to you by writing your own vows, getting your family and friends involved, make it as traditional or as fun as you like it.

 

Renewing Vows

If like me you were married a while ago, and it wasn’t quite the wedding you really wanted, or you’re proud that you survived the last 12 months together, you may be looking to renew your vows now.

Sharing the magic of the personalities that have kept you together, by creating a personal, renewal of vows ceremony, is a fantastic way to celebrate your lasting love for each other.

Celebrate your big day, your way.

If you would like to book for a ceremony or just want more information on the possibilities for your ceremony, please do contact me…email: janet.humanist@gmail.com or for a chat 07887724591.

Costs for a wedding ceremony are between £450 and £600, depending on needs, travel and whether you want rehearsals, this would be discussed at our initial meeting.  Similarly, vow renewal costs are between £250 – £400.

What people say about my Wedding Ceremonies…

“Janet worked with us to deliver our marriage ceremony. The result was the most amazing, personal and funny marriage ceremony. Janet’s understanding and interpretation of us and our relationship was remarkable and as a consequence the result was meaningful and entertaining. Janet is professional, efficient and very personable making the whole experience a delight. Clearly we hope never to need her again for a wedding! But would definitely recommend her to any other brides and bridegrooms 😊” Julia and Mark – Sept 2021

“We recently contacted Janet for our wedding and she was brilliant from start to finish. From the first meeting we immediately felt comfortable. Janet really took the time to understand why we wanted a humanist ceremony and tailored the script accordingly. She also kindly met with us before the big day for a quick run through of what we should do which helped to ease our nerves. The script that Janet wrote was well written, down to earth, humorous where appropriate and beautiful all at the same time. Janet was lovely and smiley throughout, and a calming presence as I stood waiting for my typically late bride! Thankyou Janet!”  Isabelle and Joe – Sept 2021

“Janet was very friendly & professional. She has made us feel at ease throughout the process. As we had had already exchanged rings at our civil ceremony, she suggested some other options, and we chose the “Hand-Fasting” ceremony. It was a very moving & enjoyable experience for both of us. Many of our guests remarked on what a beautiful, moving & unusual ceremony it was. We would highly recommend Janet to anyone who doesn’t wish to have a religious ceremony.” Angela and Vinny – Sept 2021

‘Janet was absolutely lovely and she worked with us to create a very personal service. Thank you for helping to make our day so special.’ Michelle and Tom – 2019
