EspañolHumanist ceremonies
Humanist and non-religious wedding ceremonies in Italy
A ceremony about the two of you and the values you share, without religious elements, written with you and led by a professional celebrant.
Humanist weddings
Your values, your words
A humanist or non-religious ceremony celebrates your commitment through your story, your values and the people who matter to you. It is a symbolic ceremony, so it can take place anywhere in Italy, from a vineyard to a castle terrace.
It has no legal value on its own: many couples marry legally at home or with a civil ceremony and celebrate with a humanist ceremony in Italy.
Reviews
What couples say
Francesca was a wonderful celebrant, her English was excellent and she really succeeded in making our ceremony as relaxed and happy as we had hoped it would be.
Francesca was fantastic to work with as our officiant. She was very easy to work with both before and during the ceremony. She made the selection of the ceremony very simple for us with some great ides to include the children. Her ceremony was simply beautiful and she was a wonderful part of our special day. Many Many Thanks Francesca
We honestly couldn't have asked for a better celebrant. From our very first meeting, Francesca made us feel at ease with her warmth, confidence, and genuine care. On our wedding day, the ceremony flowed seamlessly and felt deeply personal, intimate, heartfelt, and completely "us." We are beyond grateful for her guidance and support throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!
FAQ
Questions couples ask us
Is a humanist ceremony a symbolic ceremony?
For us every ceremony that is not a civil wedding is a symbolic ceremony. A humanist ceremony is simply a symbolic ceremony written without religious elements.
Is a humanist ceremony legally valid in Italy?
No. For a legal wedding you need a civil ceremony following the Italian procedure.
Can we still include rituals?
Yes. Rituals such as handfasting or a sand ceremony are not religious and fit a humanist ceremony well.
Do you lead freie Trauungen in German?
Yes. Marco and Simona lead ceremonies in German.
How long is a humanist ceremony?
About half an hour, and we suggest 20-25 minutes. Without religious elements, all of that time is about your story, your values and the people around you. It can be shorter or longer if you wish, although we do not usually recommend it.
