A humanist wedding can be described as a non-religious ceremony that is welcoming, inclusive and personally tailored to the couple. It can be traditional or non-traditional, as formal or informal as you like, and can include anything you want from singing, to beautiful rituals, to pets and poetry.
Over the last number of years, non-religious ceremonies have become increasingly popular in Ireland. We live in a progressively diverse and open-minded society, but we still need to mark our significant life events with a ceremony best suited to who we are.
As a humanist celebrant accredited by the Humanist Association of Ireland (HAI), Patrick Cassidy can help you create that sense of occasion for the perfect humanist wedding. Your wedding ceremony will say alot about you both as a couple, your personalities, families, ethical views, and your own unique love story. It is the perfect opportunity to create a personal and heartfelt experience for you, your families and your guests. If it’s personal for you, then it’s personal for Patrick! His style is described as being an enthusiastic and engaged celebrant, who enjoys both the traditional and unusual ceremonies.
As a legal wedding solemniser, Patrick can provide fully legal, civil weddings. As a life coach, he has always been interested in people’s lives and their unique stories. As a humanist celebrant, he serves the non-religious community by creating and delivering personalised ceremonies to celebrate major life events in a way that fits with the couple’s views. He fully understands the importance of having someone you trust, and who ‘gets you’ on your side. Patrick is passionate about gender equality and inclusion throughout our community.
Couples can add readings, poetry, music and song into their wedding ceremony. You may want to include a symbolic ritual such as hand fasting or a sand ceremony. These rituals offer a unique representation of two people coming together, united in marriage. Patrick will take time to encourage and support any ideas you might have, and will work with you to make your dream wedding ceremony a reality, resulting in a fun, relaxed, beautiful and memorable ceremony.
Patrick would be honoured to be a part of your wedding day. He will ensure that your day will be just as you imagined, he will take care of all the legalities, paperwork and stress, allowing you to relax and enjoy a ceremony so special and personal, that you and your loved ones will be talking about it for years to come.
