So, what's a humanist wedding ceremony really like?
A humanist wedding is first and foremost a celebration! I want you and your guests to have a fabulous time on the day and enjoy every moment of the ceremony. We can include some of the more traditional elements, from readings and poems to music. We can also add any rituals you might like, including an exchange of rings, handfasting or knot tying. For couples who’d like to introduce an element that is a little bit different – perhaps you both want to process down the aisle together, or maybe you want your much-loved pooch to come along too?
One of the best things about humanist ceremonies is that unlike a civil or registry office ceremony there’s no things we have to include and no set template or wording we have to follow. The ceremony I write is centred around the two of you, with all the little touches that will make your ceremony unique. This makes it incredibly personal, warm, fun and meaningful – it will tell your love story.
Location, location …
The ceremony itself can take place anywhere you feel is important to you both. That could be on your favourite beach, in a wooded glade, on a clifftop or beside a river. From castles to cinemas, boats to pub gardens – it can take place any time and anywhere*. (*You just need the land owners permission or your wedding may become memorable in ways you didn't plan!)
A ceremony for everyone
Some couples worry that their family or friends may not be as keen on a humanist ceremony as they are. I’m here to put your mind at rest – humanist ceremonies are for EVERYONE! Across all ages and all backgrounds, for people of all faiths and of none. That's why guests often say that a humanist wedding is the best they have ever been to!
