Non Religious Wedding Officiants And Themed Venues

By Anna Bennett


When it comes to marriage, most couples prefer to have a traditional ceremony based on the faith of the couple. While this is the case, not all ceremonies are religious or spiritual as not all people follow a specific faith. Whereas, some couples may be of different faiths. As a result, non religious wedding officiants are now being asked to perform nuptials at civil unions, commitment ceremonies, hand-fastings and weddings.

A common theme among all weddings, religious or otherwise is that of uniting individuals whom want to move into a more committed relationship. Whether that be through a civil union, commitment ceremony, hand-fasting, or State sanctioned wedding, all are doing so as a celebration of love. As such, it is often one of the most important days in the lives of the bride and groom.

Ceremonies whether traditional or otherwise are a celebration of love, honor, respect and trust between those tying the knot, or ribbon in the case of a hand-fasting. In some cases, there may be family traditions and rituals which the individuals will perform during the service, especially in traditional ones. Whereas, others may desire to create new and unique rituals specific to interests shared by the couple.

Traditional weddings, such as those shown on television or seen in Bride magazine can often be some of the most beautiful events in the world. Whereas, non traditional ceremonies are often just as beautiful and at times more heart-warming than traditional ones. For, when two individuals can come together to plan, organize and host a successful wedding whether being married in a temple, synagogue, church, chapel, outdoor garden or other location, sharing heartfelt vows in a beautiful setting can often move family and friends to tears.

One of the first and most important aspects of planning this type of event, especially when operating outside the realm of religion is to pick the right officiant. When it comes to non-religious officiants, options often include going to a Justice of the Peace or choosing a minister from an organization such as the Universal Life Church. For, as long as allowed by the State and ordained, these individuals can officiate weddings and memorials as indicated by the laws of the organization through which the individual was ordained.

When desiring a friend or family member to officiate the ceremony, it can often be possible for the individual to become ordained online in minutes. For, the Universal Life Church and similar organizations now offer instant ordination in which an individual can then provide services such as weddings, memorials and spiritual counseling. While this is the case, it is important that the individual have the knowledge and skills to perform such ceremonies.

When planning to host a destination or themed wedding, it is important to assure all details are in place well ahead of the ceremony. For, it can often take extra time to locate an officiant, custom order specialized attire or find an appropriate venue. As such, the earlier in the process these items are finalized, the easier it will be to plan and organize other aspects of the event.

As themed ceremonies have become extremely popular over the last few decades, it is important to book a venue as far ahead of time as possible. For, there can often be a year or more wait when it comes booking a themed based venue. In addition, the earlier one can book an officiant and venue, the longer the couple and wedding party have to plan and organize the main event.
