What does a humanist wedding ceremony look like?
A humanist wedding is a non-religious ceremony which is inclusive and personal to you and your guests. The focus is on your love story, what is special about you and why you want to marry each other.
There is no format we have to follow, so it can be in any location, at any time of the day, and as creative as you wish it to be. It can be as dressy or casual as you would like.
What is a humanist?
Humanists are non-religious people who believe that this life is the only life we have and want to live it in kindness. We try to understand the world through evidence, logic and reason. Humanists make decisions based on ethics, equality, and happiness.
What is the difference between a humanist wedding and a registry office wedding?
A humanist wedding is different from a civil or registry office ceremony because you and I will create your personal event. You can marry where and when you want; on a mountaintop, on a cliff or in a woodland. It could be a place which is significant, such as: where you first met, somewhere that you have special memories or somewhere you will want to remember. And what is said in the script will be about you; your love and your story.
We believe that marriage is based on mutual love and respect. That every couple is different and so every ceremony will be unique. We conduct same-sex weddings. We take into account different beliefs and cultures and offer a non-religious ceremony which makes all your guests feel comfortable and invested.
