LGBTQ WEDDINGS SPAIN
A Humanist non religious wedding for these couples symbolises the love shared, and the commitment of two people to each other, in front of family & friends, as in any other wedding. Often this is because the couple do not share the same faith and it provides a solution, although this does not necessarily mean that either of them are non religious.
All the ceremonies by your Celebrant in Spain are personalised especially for you, to reflect your own values and requirements. They can be designed to include your own words, and with family or friends doing readings and poems. Music is another important part of many events, and assistance can be given to find what is best for your needs. They can be as elaborate or as simple you would like for a few to hundreds of guests and can be held in the location of your choice- an outdoor or indoor venue - as long as the necessary permission is obtained.

As well as being the most experienced Wedding & Event planner of all types of weddings & ceremonies in the Costa Blanca, Spain, Susan has officiated or assisted ceremonies at events on various occasions - her first same sex wedding being in Benidorm in 2005. This was filmed and late shown on UK TV.
She is an experienced officiator and a trained & European Registered Humanist Celebrant, and has often written personalised non- religious ceremonies for other officiants in Spain.
Susan is a trained Public Speaker, has presented programmes for the BBC TV in the UK, and has lived Spain for many years.
She qualified in Community Relations in the UK, which involved the study of many different types of cultures, people & religions - such as Buddhism & Judaism. The course also included visits to Hindu & Sikh temples and other religious venues. This has helped her gain an understanding of many types of beliefs and attitudes to life and death.
Everything you require may be arranged by email and phone if it is not possible to meet Susan or travel to Spain prior to your event, or an initial meeting may be held if you can visit or live here.
After obtaining the relevant information the Humanist ceremony is then prepared, designed, and written, and the presentation is on the day.
If you would like another person in your group to officiate the service, then assistance can be given to write the content for you.
WHAT IS A HUMANIST?
Humanism fuses traditional religious behaviours onto the foundation of Scientific Humanist enquiry.
It recognises that each persons spirituality has to be developed naturally, and encourages everyone to draw upon whatever religious traditions, spirituality and behaviours are most appropriate for their own unique situation and background.
Humanist ceremonies are non-religious and therefore have no worship of a God or fixed rituals. There is no religious content such as sermons, prayers or hymns. All ceremonies are unique and created to adapt to each individual needs.
Other Ceremonies offered:
FUNERALS (CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE)
A Humanist Funeral in Spain is becoming increasingly common. It is very suitable for those loved ones who did not have religious views on life or death.
It is a celebration of their life and enables the 'goodbyes' to be said - which helps start the grieving process. Relatives can express feelings and share memories. Music can be played.
MEMORIAL SERVICES
These are services that are tributes to the person's life, honouring their memory, often taking place some time after the Funeral.
PET FUNERALS
Losing a well-loved Pet which has become a friend and family member can be a distressing and often heartbreaking experience for adults and children alike. Deciding how best to remember your pet is an important decision not to be taken lightly. A Humanist Service enables you to say your farewells and acknowledges your relationship with your Pet.
More details on non religious Funerals & Pet Funerals in Spain -see the page.
BABY NAMING
A growing number of LGBTQ parents wish to announce the birth or adoption of their child, but do not want a church or religious event. This non religious Ceremony can be a delightful alternative to a Christening or Baptism.It is a formal but joyful way of introducing a new baby into your family & social circle & announce parents' commitment to nurture the child into adulthood.
It may be adapted for children of any age, whether newborn, a stepchild, or an adopted child. It usually includes the appointment of mentors or guardians.
The ceremony does not prevent the child committing to any future religious beliefs. Single parents families are, of course, included.
