About Humanist Ceremonies
Are humanist marriages legal?
Humanist and same-sex marriages became legal in Northern Ireland in 2018 and 2020 respectively, granting hundreds of couples the right to a personal and meaningful ceremony.
Why have a humanist ceremony?
You have the freedom to choose the type of ceremony that suits you best. It can be held in a field, a museum, or a boutique hotel, and it can be an elopement or a traditional wedding ceremony. Humanist Ceremonies are known for being relaxed, flexible, easy-going, and enjoyable. The most important thing to remember is that you are the one who decides the style, structure, and format of your wedding.
