Civil and Non-Religious Ceremonies:​

Celebrant: In non-religious contexts, a celebrant leads the ceremony. Celebrants can be further categorised based on their focus:

• ​Humanist Celebrant: Affiliated with organisations like Humanists UK, these celebrants conduct ceremonies that reflect humanist values, without religious content.

• Independent Celebrant: These individuals design and lead personalised ceremonies tailored to the preferences of the individuals involved, which may include elements from various traditions or entirely secular content.

  ​

  The choice of officiant or celebrant plays a crucial role in setting the tone and content of a ceremony, ensuring it aligns with the beliefs and wishes of those involved.
