Humanist Weddings are legal in Scotland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, Ireland, and a couple of American states.
If you chose to have a Humanist wedding at Crear it will be recognised world wide as a legal marriage.
We highly recommend our local Humanist Celebrants Annie Loughlin & Belinda Braithwaite. A special mention also goes to Andrew Smithsimmons who is a little further away. Should they be unable to conduct your ceremony, we have had great experiences with other Humanist Celebrants based in Glasgow who we would be delighted to recommend.
Annie can be reached on annie.loughlin@humanism.scot or by calling 01852 500558. (Please note that Annie is away annually from December to March & is planning a sabbatical in 2019)

Please note that if you approach the Humanist Society directly, they may suggest celebrants who are based over 500 miles away! This will increase the celebrants fee to cover travel & expenses & therefore the cost to you. At Crear we are very aware of our carbon footprint so we don't believe its necessary to involve a thousand miles of driving when selecting your celebrant when there are so many really special ones much closer!
PLEASE NOTE You must notify our local Registrars giving four weeks notice of your wedding regardless of who performs your marriage ceremony. This can be done by email & post. You are not required to be resident in Scotland prior to your marriage ceremony & you are not required to notify the registrar where you live.
