What Was Said About Their Unforgettable Ceremonies
★★★★★
“Alex was absolutely amazing. He made our ceremony special, personal and funny to. Our wedding at the zoo was a day to remember and Alex was great at taking the nerves out of the ceremony. If your looking for a celebrant I honestly can’t recommend him enough. From the get go he was on hand and helped with any concerns or queries we had. Honestly can’t thank him enough for an amazing ceremony.”

“Alex was our celebrant for our Scottish elopement. It was great to meet him over a video call a few weeks before our wedding to get to know him and talk about the details. The ceremony he wrote was so personal (he details from our story we told him) with many lovely moments. We found him very helpful explaining the legal paperwork and who to get in contact with.
Alex, we just wanted to say how thrilled we are with the whole ceremony from the moment we met in the carpark at the bottom of the hill to the moment we said goodbye. It was really appreciated that you stayed with our parents and walked them down the hill again whilst we were off having photos – we know you didn’t have to stay but we are very greatful you did – a lovely touch.”

“Thank you so much for your kindness during a sad time in our lives. You are a very special person. You made us feel at ease during this journey. Every person we spoke to following the service (and there were a few!) said “What an amazing service” thank you Alex.”

Crafting Your Unique Story with Heartfelt Ceremonies
Wedding, Civil Partnerships Ceremonies
Humanist ceremonies can take place indoors or outdoors, they can be simple or elaborate, traditional or contemporary. They usually include readings, music and an exchange of rings but can also include symbolic gestures, like hand fasting. Whatever you want to do the choice is yours. It’s your love, your life together and your ceremony. Whatever you decide on, I will work with you to create your perfect ceremony and delivery your thoughts.
One of the many benefits of a humanist ceremony is that you are involved in the writing of it. That means that on your special day the ceremony is a true reflection of your commitment to each other. I will share your story and words with those celebrating with you, it will be as unique as the love you share.
Funeral and Memorial Services
My ceremonies places the life of the deceased at the centre and I will spend time with you learning about your loved one’s life and personality and about the memories you would like to share. I will then weave these together to tell the story in just the right way, as a celebration of your loved one’s life. As with all my ceremonies because funerals are all personal and unique they are flexible and usually include readings, poems and music; your celebrant will help you with these decisions and will have lots of experience and suggestions.
I recognise that amongst those attending humanist funerals there may be people of faith and although we don’t include acts of worship such as singing hymns and prayers there is usually a period of quiet reflection where those in attendance can chose to remember your loved one in a way that is right for them and their beliefs. Normally when you engage a Funeral Director they will contact a celebrant on your behalf but you are free to contact me directly via email alex.moore@humanism.scot , mobile phone 07757485020.
Welcoming Ceremonies
Welcoming a new addition to your family is an exciting and joyful time. A Humanist Welcoming or Humanist Naming Ceremony is a beautiful and personal way to mark the special milestone in your family and share your joy with those you love. My Naming and Welcoming ceremonies are all about your family and your new addition. They are all individually crafted to reflect what’s important for your family, and your dreams and hopes for your children.
Welcoming and Naming ceremonies can be as creative as your imagination allows; you may want to involve your extended family and friends, include some symbolic gestures, and it can take place wherever you like. A humanist welcoming or naming ceremony is a unique, personal and secular alternative to a traditional christening for new babies. However, my ceremonies are a lovely way of welcoming a new child into your family regardless of age.
Renewal of Vows
Similar to Weddings and Civil Partnerships, these can take place indoors or outdoors, they can be simple or elaborate, traditional or contemporary. However, they have no legal basis in respect of legal marriage.They usually include readings, music and an exchange of rings but can also include symbolic gestures, like hand fasting. Whatever you want to do the choice is yours. It’s your love, your life together and your ceremony.
