Who can have a Humanist Ceremony?

Absolutely anyone! As long as you fit these criteria for getting married in Northern Ireland, then you can have a Humanist Wedding Ceremony.

You don’t need to identity as Humanist to have a Humanist Wedding ceremony. Though many people do already think in ways that may be considered Humanist, and chances are if you are thinking of having a Humanist Ceremony then you already may align with those ideas.

Humanist Ceremonies are fully LGBTQ inclusive

You also don’t need to be from Northern Ireland to get married here (and let’s face it, with so many stunning locations, why would you not want to get married here!).

What’s so special about Humanist Weddings?

A Humanist Wedding is for you, and all about you. There is no premade script, each ceremony is crafted from scratch to make it a ceremony that is completely unique to you.

Will my wedding be legal?

Yes! Delightfully, Humanist Wedding Ceremonies have legal recognition in Northern Ireland. This means you can have a Humanist Ceremony and complete the legal documentation at the same time.

Humanist Marriages conducted in NI are legally recognised everywhere.

What happens if you are ill on the day of our ceremony?

I am part of the network of Humanist Celebrants in NI. This means that in the rare event that I am unable to conduct your ceremony, I can call on another celebrant in the network to take over to make sure your wedding goes ahead as planned.

How much do you charge and that does that include?

My fee is £600. This includes:

Meeting with you (usually twice and this can be online or in person) to get to know your story and your ideas for your wedding

Writing your unique, hand crafted ceremony script

Guidance on how you might want to structure your ceremony including suggestions of symbolics acts and other elements

Support on writing vows if required

Conducting your ceremony and legally officiating your wedding on the day

A presentation version of the Wedding Ceremony script to keep as a memento of your special day.

What if we’ve met and we don’t want to book you?

That is perfectly OK! I know how important it is to find the right person for your Wedding day. If that’s not me, then there is no obligation to book. I wish you luck on your search.
