HUMANISM :: What is a Humanist Celebrant?

Humanist Celebrants conduct Humanist, nonreligious, and interreligious weddings, commitments, same-sex unions, memorials, funerals, birth celebrations, and other life cycle ceremonies.

A Humanist wedding ceremony, for instance, can range from a traditional wedding (minus the reference to a deity), to a creative, unique ceremony. Our Humanist Celebrants, in all ceremonies, strive to reflect the values of the couple and those who are involved.

Humanist Celebrants are legally recognized in all states and many countries, being accorded the same rights and privileges granted by law to priests, ministers, and rabbis of traditional theistic religions. However, marriage laws vary by state in the United States. We suggest contacting your local county clerk's office for the most accurate legal information.

Humanist wedding ceremonies with a secular or non-religious content continue to grow in popularity. A Humanist Celebrant plays a role similar to that of a traditional clergyperson with one difference: Humanist ceremonies celebrate humanity instead of "traditional faiths".
