Humanist Celebrants & Counselors

HGP's humanist celebrants are ordained to officiate weddings and memorial services, and provide counseling on ethical and philosophical questions.

The Humanist Division of Celebrants offers secular alternatives for life's most important ceremonies and moments of reflection — the humanist equivalent of traditional clergy.

Officiate Your Ceremony

Our humanist celebrants are legally ordained to officiate:

  • Weddings & commitment ceremonies — personalized, secular ceremonies that reflect your values and tell your story
  • Memorial services & celebrations of life — meaningful gatherings that honor a life without religious framing
  • Coming-of-age ceremonies — secular alternatives to religious rites of passage

Philosophical Counseling

Our counselors are available to discuss life's important questions from a humanist perspective — whether you're facing a major transition, wrestling with an ethical dilemma, processing grief, or simply exploring the big questions of existence.
