Celebrate People
About this business
Celebrate People is a multi-belief organisation based on humanist values. We conduct ceremonies as well as providing support and counselling. Our highly trained and experienced celebrants represent our humanist values of love, kindness, equality, compassion, inclusion and respect. We believe that you two are central and will support you to make sure that your ceremony reflects and expresses what is important to you, your lives, your culture.
We can provide excellent Spanish, French and Italian speaking celebrants to make sure everyone is included.
We simply want you to feel cared for and supported to express your love and commitment in the way that means most to you in that special moment. You may celebrate with family and friends or run away just the two of you. Whatever you choose we are there to help you have your perfect ceremony.
We are there for you from the moment you start to think about what you want for your ceremony all the way through to you leaving for the rest of your celebrations. For most that includes making sure all the legal details are taken care of in the right way and in the right place. If you need guidance on what to include on your ceremony, we are there with many ideas and support to help you choose the best words and elements for you both.
All of our celebrants are brilliant at listening and helping as little or as much as you need them to put what is you want to say into words. For some couples this is easy, others less so. Wherever you fall on that scale we will support you in your ceremony development in preparation for the main event. Symbols and customs can strengthen what you want to say and all of us can include handfasting, drinking from the quaich, sand ceremony and many more.

Gerrie Douglas Scott delivered a beautiful ceremony for us and told our personal story as if she had been there to experience it herself. In the preparation for writing our wedding, Gerrie provided plenty of material to help us get started and to help formatting the order of the ceremony. The choice of readings and linking passages she provided where perfect template for us to tweek and make our own. She took the time to meet with us before the wedding to have a quick run through which made us at ease for the big day. Really lovely person.

We were so lucky to have found Gerrie. She helped us create a personal humanist ceremony – having only been to one humanist wedding we didn’t know where to start or what to expect. She was on hand to help us through all of our questions and provided helpful documents to inspire us.
We had such a great connection with her from our first meeting and felt she understood what we wanted to convey in our ceremony. Our guests also commented that she was incredible and funny.
We couldn’t be happier!
SHARON CAMPBELL
Sharon was a brilliant celebrant. From our first meeting we knew that she was the ideal person to conduct our wedding ceremony. She had really good communication skills and gave us plenty of information and examples of vows to use for our wedding.
Our ceremony was upbeat and fun which was just what we wanted. Everyone commented as to how brilliant they thought the ceremony was which was all down to Sharon. Sharon conducted all the different aspects of our ceremony with great humour and made us feel at ease.
Thank you!
Tim Maguire
We were recommended Tim by a friend and he did not disappoint. Myself and my Husband didn’t really know where to start with our wedding ceremony but we knew we wanted a relaxed and personal one. We couldn’t of asked for a better person to deliver this and marry us. I loved the idea of writing the ceremony ourselves although a little daunting, Tim was always available to help when needed. All my guests commented on how much they loved our ceremony, the stories that were told and how personal it was. Tim was funny, welcoming and really put us at ease. He even managed to persuade the youngest ring barer a 1 and a half year old to deliver the rings to us!
THANKS AGAIN!! X
Gerrie married my wife and me on the dunes at Prestwick Beach on 7th May 2021- this was a covid moved wedding and we decided in the end that getting married was most important. She worked with us every single step of the way to get the most out of our day, and took into consideration the fact that physically at the ceremony it would only be us two, herself and our photographers who were also our witnesses. Prior to the date, we all went out to the dunes to scope out the best spot – and Gerrie blessed the area with us. On the day, we zoomed the wedding out to family and friends, and so the three of us were microphoned up and ready to go.
Gerrie really went above and beyond making sure that our guests felt the love that was all around us that day, even though they couldn’t be there. She made the day truly magical. A year and a bit on, and we’re finally getting to celebrate in person with everyone! Gerrie is going to do a further blessing at our reception to bring everything together and we really cannot wait. She really is one of the family now having married my brother & sister in law, and also my cousin, as well as holding a beautiful funeral ceremony for my late mother in law. She is fabulous. Thank you so much Gerrie! Much love Jenni & Fi x
