Increasingly couples, gay, straight or transgender are wanting to have more choice and control over
their wedding day/affirmation. A Humanist ceremony offers the opportunity and freedom to decide
where you want to be married, how and by whom.

Your ceremony can be as formal and traditional or informal and unconventional as you want it to be.

You can decide for yourselves if you want to have your ceremony by the sea, on a mountain or in a hotel.
No two Humanist ceremonies are the same because each one is written to reflect what is significant and special to every couple. In our experience the sharing of promises and vows and the exchange of rings can be made so much more personal and special when couples are allowed to make these for themselves instead of choosing set ones from a text. During an initial visit we will talk through how you might want to do this or adapt pre prepared ones to suit your wishes and preferences.

Children, family and friends, even pets can be involved and we will advise and assist you to decide on everyone's contributions.

Having officiated at many ceremonies over the past 10 years we have a wealth of experience and lots of different and imaginative ideas, including how to make the most of music, dance, toasts and readings. Individually written, personalised certificates can be used on the day which can be signed by the couple and witnesses.

Humanist weddings, unlike other weddings give you the chance to properly plan what is going to be a very significant day. Following a first meeting we normally write a script for you to look at and amend/add to until you are 100% happy and satisfied.

On the day your celebrant will be there to help with last minute preparations and of course to lead the ceremony. We even try to fit in with your chosen colour scheme!
