People often ask if a Humanist ceremony would be appropriate for them and why?  Of course it depends on your individual circumstances but usually it’s for people who are non-religious but who are looking for a significant and unique ceremony.

However, Humanist ceremonies can also be a harmonious neutral space for those with differing beliefs.

The key points are:

Totally Personalised

• Humanist ceremonies are all individually written and created.  No one ceremony is a copy of another one.
• For a wedding, your ceremony would focus on your relationship, your family and friends and what you most want to say to each other.  It reflects you as individuals and as a couple.  It shows your personalities and style.
• With a Naming, the ceremony would focus on your child and how s/he will be within your life.  It will highlight  what you and the ‘guideparents’ will bring to the new child in their life.

“Thank you so much for being our celebrant yesterday. The ceremony was absolutely perfect. We received a lot of very positive comments about the ceremony about how great it was. One of our friends even said they now want a humanist ceremony and asked for your contact details, so expect to hear from Lucy within the next year or so!”  Fran & Jay

Non-religious

•  Humanist ceremonies are free of  religious elements but create a significant context (both serious and joyous, and often humorous) within which you can share your momentous decision to say your words of commitment to your partner.
• Our ceremonies celebrate our openness, our belief in equality and acceptance for all, our optimism about the core goodness of humanity and our personal search for happiness and how to live a morally and socially responsible life.
