A Perfect Wedding Ceremony in Spain
Also called "symbolic" or "humanist", a non-religious wedding ceremony is a personal choice. To be really memorable, a perfect wedding ceremony needs to be entirely personalized and respectful of who you are. Thus, no other ceremony will be like yours.
You can choose between several types of wedding ceremonies:
a religious ceremony, whhich will incorporate prayers or elements from specific religious practices, such as the Seven Blessings for Jews, the Lord’s Prayer for Christians.
a spiritual ceremony including sacred influences in the lives of the couple; in this meaning, even an atheist wedding can be spiritual!
an interfaith ceremony with the melding of two religious traditions, which can often be a seamless and truly beautiful experience for everyone involved
a secular ceremony, also called commitment ceremony, with no reference to any religion
Even in the case of a secular ceremony, you can incorporate a ritual if we find one that really has a strong meaning for your couple.
A Wedding Ceremony Designed Only for You
Most couples want a deeply meaningful and personal expression of their love.
The secular ceremony, or commitment ceremony, gives each couple the freedom to make the wedding ceremony they want.
With the same romantic and spiritual dimension as in church or on the contrary, funny or pop.
You can choose every parameter of your ceremony: the surroundings, the music, whether religious or not, and also if you wish guest speakers, rituals, etc. Solemnity or a touch of madness, for you to choose.
Each couple is free to create a ceremony that looks just like them; and there is not one secular ceremony, but as many as there are couples. No one looks like the other, every secular ceremony is unique.
A symbolic commitment ceremony, an LGBT ceremony, a second marriage ceremony, an elopement,... so many occasions that demand the expertise of a professional wedding officiant to guarantee the success of the celebration of your love.
That is why, the preparation phase of the secular ceremony with your officiant is very important. It allows me to get to know you. Personalized interviews but also playful quizzes will help me know you and the story of your couple.
A Dream Ceremony about You
Your wedding ceremony must be about you and the story of your couple. In order for you to have a quality celebration, I will create quality content for your secular ceremony.
As an experienced professional, I will not fail to guide you down through the smallest details of your secular ceremony.
It is indeed very important to pay particular attention to
the layout of the place,
the installation of the guests and their well-being,
-
the sound system,
-
the placement of the couple and the various guest speakers.
The list is long, but these practical, logistical and scenographic points, prepared beforehand are the pledge of a symbolic ceremony up to your expectations.
Rituals
Even secular, the ceremony celebrates the union of a couple, i.e. the change of status from single life to married life. It is an important life stage. And in this context, the rite has its place because the symbolic ritual is primarily a question of meaning.
During your secular ceremony, the important thing is that your rituals correspond to you and let you express your feelings and commitment with accuracy. You can choose a classical ritual of union or a more original one, but also opt for a collective ritual involving all guests or for instance only your children.

Songs
Since the dawn of time, rites of passage come with songs. Indeed, singing will help to rhythm your secular ceremony, to accompany you in important moments and bring more solemnity, light, joy and love.
Together we will choose which style you like: traditional, gospel, pop or movie songs.
