Wedding shows are a great opportunity to talk to other vendors and couples about officiant services – and especially to make sure that those seeking non-religious options have dedicated celebrants who understand the challenges faced by non-religious people in our culture and can help a couple write and experience a ceremony that fully reflects their values while honoring traditions in their families.

One couple approached me and asked if it would be possible to have a religious wedding, but have some kind of reading or other acknowledgment of their Atheists friends and relatives. I told them about Secular Invocations, offered to provide them with some appropriate readings that could be incorporated, and we talked through other ideas about creating an inclusive experience for all of their guests.

A Humanist Celebrant doesn’t have to officiate your whole wedding to be a valuable part of your team. We can serve as an advisor or even a co-writer for your ceremony, We can suggest inclusive elements for your ceremony, such as a Secular Invocation, and even meet with your wedding coordinator, officiant or another member of your wedding party / coordinating committee to share ideas and guidance.
