It is crucial to understand that a humanist wedding (ślub humanistyczny) is a ceremony that is not legally binding in Poland.
To obtain legal recognition, couples must also complete the civil marriage process at the Register Office (Urząd Stanu Cywilnego, USC) either before or after the humanist ceremony.
A humanist wedding ceremony is a non-religious, personalized celebration that focuses on the couple’s values and beliefs.
It offers couples the opportunity to customize their ceremony and hold it at a variety of locations.
The celebrant officiating a humanist ceremony does not register the marriage.
Humanist ceremonies are often chosen by secular couples or those seeking a unique and personalized celebration in addition to the required civil ceremony.
