Religious vs Non-Religious Wedding Ceremonies

Couples rarely sit neatly in one box. Most land somewhere between 'we want a blessing' and 'please, no scripture'.

• Religious — scripture, prayer and faith language throughout.
• Spiritual but not religious — reverent tone without a specific tradition.
• Secular — no religious content at all.
• Interfaith — elements from two traditions, held in balance.
• Cultural — traditions tied to heritage rather than doctrine.

On our ceremony intake form, selecting Religious or Interfaith opens follow-up questions about your tradition and the readings, prayers or blessings you'd like included. We collect that so we can tell you honestly whether the ceremony you want is one we can appropriately perform — some rites properly belong to clergy of a specific faith, and we will say so.
