How To Plan An Outdoor Wedding<\/h2>\n

December is the most popular time of year for couples to get engaged<\/a>. And January is the busiest time for venues and celebrants to take bookings. For some, 2022 is already fully booked, so you need to act quickly if you have your heart set on a specific date.<\/p>\n

But don’t despair. If you have an outdoor wedding<\/strong> conducted by a humanist celebrant<\/a>, you will have greater flexibility on dates, because you won’t be relying on the availability of a venue.<\/p>\n

A Word About Wedding Venues<\/h3>\n

Couples who choose to have a civil ceremony need a venue that is licensed for weddings.<\/p>\n

If you choose a humanist ceremony<\/a>, you don’t need an ‘approved venue’. In fact, you don’t need a venue at all. You can get married outdoors!<\/strong> So, if it sounds appealing to say your ‘I dos’ alfresco, a humanist wedding<\/a> could be right for you.<\/p>\n

Humanist Wedding Locations<\/h3>\n

You can have your outdoor ceremony on a beach, in a field, beside a lake or river, on top of a cliff, or in a woodland glade, dappled with diffused light.<\/p>\n

As for indoor weddings, humanist ceremonies indoors don’t need to be in an approved wedding venue either. You can literally get married at home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
