Weddings at the Ethical Society of St. Louis
In life, we are all bound together by our need to celebrate life's joys. Ethical Society ceremonies honor the need for individuals to come together, building community by recognizing those things that make each of us unique and important.
The Ethical Society of St. Louis offers members and the St. Louis community lovely, humanistic-inspired wedding and commitment ceremonies. The Ethical Culture wedding ceremony emphasizes a reciprocal and mutual relationship, acknowledges the trust and work required to maintain such a relationship, and focuses on the giving and accepting of promises that are meaningful to a couple.
Ethical Society officiants are legally authorized to officiate at weddings. They help couples design a ceremony that offers a creative, public expression of their personal sense of love and commitment through readings, rituals and vows. Guest clergy may also officiate. Weddings may take placeat the Ethical Society or off-site at a location of the couple's choosing.
