What is Humanism? - Idaho Humanist

According to the American Humanist Association, ?Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.?

Someone (I can?t remember who) explained Humanism like this: Take the positive aspects of all religions?be good to others, help others, etc.?and that?s what Humanism is. In other words, be a good person, not because you want to be rewarded in the next life or because you fear punishment from some higher being, but because we?re all in this together.

I feel that being a Celebrant is a public service and not a money-making venture. However, my time, like yours, is valuable. Basic fees are listed below but may not include things like extra travel.

Typical Wedding - $100? (non-refundable $50 deposit required to secure a specific date)
Includes initial consultation, email help with customizing the ceremony, rehearsal, and ceremony

Quickie Wedding - $65? (non-refundable $50 deposit required to secure a specific date)
Simple ceremony with no rehearsal using the Civil Ceremony or Elopement Ceremony

To see the cost of a ceremony plus travel to various locations in southeast Idaho, please look at the officiant page on IdahoWeddingCelebrations.com.

I don't feel that lack of funds should prohibit a couple from having a meaningful ceremony. If the rates above are truly out of your budget, contact me and we will work something out.

If you would like a ceremony other than a wedding, please contact me for rates.
