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.

We can’t thank Maureen ( Mo) enough for carrying out our wedding ceremony in a way that we always imagined it would be. Mo is very down to earth and lovely and more importantly , very helpful. we knew what we wanted to say in in our ceremony but we always found it hard to put into words and join it all together . Mo was able to see what we wanted and joined the dots for us and put a ceremony together that really showed who we were and share what we were eager to say to each other and to our guests. We were delighted when we received the first draft and saw how much effort she had made. Mo was very welcoming to our guests and she made our ceremony feel warm and very personal to us. Many of my guests commented on how well she told our story and that is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much xx
Gerrie Douglas Scott carried out our wedding ceremony at Seamill Hydro in July. We were keen for a laid back, fun ceremony and not to go OTT with the ‘lovey dovey’ stuff . Gerrie definitely took this on board, with a twist of humour, and made our ceremony exactly what we were looking for! She kept us right and made us 100% comfortable throughout the whole process – with her communication on the lead up to the wedding, at our meeting where she really took time to listen to us and get to know us, and of course at our ceremony! Lots of our family and friends commented that our ceremony was so ‘us’ and I think that really says a lot about how well Gerrie took our wishes on board! It is so clear Gerrie absolutely loves what she does and we would recommend her to any couples looking for a real personal ceremony!
Susan Douglas-Scott conducted our ceremony in August 2022. Susan worked with us as we changed our date three times to ensure she could accommodate us. The planning and the time taken in the lead up to the wedding with Susan helped us put together a ceremony very personal to us, even including a short naming celebration for our baby son.
On the day Susan delivered an unforgettable ceremony. All of our guests raved how perfect it was, both personal yet inclusive of all our guests too. I couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. I would highly recommend Susan to couples looking to celebrate in a way centred around them.
We cant thank maureen “mo” enough for carrying out our wedding ceremony just how we always imagined, mo was incredibly down to earth lovely & most of all helpful from the moment we got in contact with her, we knew what we kind of wanted to say in our ceremony but we always found it hard to put it all into words and join it together, luckily mo absolutely did that for us, she was able to join the dots together perfectly and we were so pleased with how she had put what we were eager to say altogether and we were delighted with her efforts when we received the draft of ceremony! Thus, mo was so bubbly & welcoming to our guests she made our ceremony feel warm but personal to us, it was so special. Our guests loved the ceremony and complimented how great mo was when telling our story.
Thank you so much!
