Humanist wedding at a church?

Sounds like it is still very much "on the books " a it were, so I doubt you will be allowed a non religious ceremony I'm afraid.

By humanist are you referring to a registrar lead civil ceremony or do you plan to do the legal bit separately first..

I see - sounds like you are "on the ball" with it all.

A lot of vicars will run 2 or 3 Churches so I would say the best bet is to contact your next nearest Church vicar as they maybe the one who also runs the part used one.

I would very much doubt that you would be able to have a humanist ceremony on church property - there is usually something along the lines of 'not contrary to the Christian faith' in the terms about what can take place and what can't.

Is there any reason you particularly want to use this church? It just seems odd to want a humanist wedding on church land! If there is a particular feature of the church that attracts you, perhaps you could find a secular venue that has a similar feature nearby?

If the church is still active, an alternative might be that, since the legal marriage is taking place elsewhere, you could have your celebration somewhere nearby and then take some photos outside the church?
