    Ok, so do you feed the Humanist? We are already paying €650 and it's a very very small immediate family only wedding.

    They don't usually hang around after the ceremony.

    As January said, I've never known one to hang around afterwards. It's not like with a church wedding where the priest often gets invited to the reception (a lot of them don't come nowdays anyway). If it's a very small family wedding, then it wouldn't be expected that you offer them a meal.

    We met ours the other night and he said he's not hanging around either after our ceremony so no need to feed him.

    I think it is more correct to refer to them as the celebrant or solemnizer, than the "humanist".
