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 were married by the brilliant Gerrie Douglas-Scott in May 2023. Gerrie went above and beyond helping us plan our ceremony; teasing out some of our quirks and providing a ceremony that was truly our own. She was there every step of the way, no matter how many silly questions we had!
Gerrie truly embodied ‘Celebrate People’, her passion for love shone throughout. We had both laughs and tears during our perfect, personalised ceremony. She even managed to enlighten many of our Sassenach guests to the very best of our Scottish culture. We couldn’t have imagined a better person to marry us on a day that we will never forget!
We had Tim Maguire as our celebrant and we just couldn’t be happier. Our wedding was bilingual in English and Spanish and Tim just made it so special.
He was super responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. On the day he was so professional, bringing a great deal of humour and personal touch to the ceremony.
We had so many people tell us how unique and wonderful the ceremony was – this is undoubtedly thanks to Tim on the day and his guidance as we put the ceremony together.
We are just so grateful! Thanks so much for making our day so very special ❤️
Iain Sinclair conducted my wife and I’s wedding ceremony on 19.05.23 and we couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant to assist with our big day.
From the very beginning, Iain’s professionalism, personal touch and patience with both of us working very busy jobs was second to none and on the day the service itself was carried out to the highest of standards.
If anyone is reading this and looking to select a celebrant I would suggest they look no further than Iain.
Aileen was exceptional, her service was perfect. It completely captured our relationship and everyone loved it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!! Absolutely perfect!
Tim Maguire at Celebrate People was excellent. He helped us create a very special day – with a truly customised ceremony. First of all, Tim was professional, organised and helpful. We knew what to do and when. Second he guided us with his own formula – we had our ‘Love Work’ – and then our ‘date night’ – and then he provided us with the inspiration to create – like writing a play. This meant we had a ceremony which was 100% built around us both. It had the right mix of humour, solemnity and warmth. We were able to involve our five children (we are both second time rounders) and everyone commented how sincere and enjoyable the ceremony was. Finally he managed the event brilliantly – with the right mix of authority and humour. It all felt wonderfully relaxed and natural. We are grateful to him and can highly recommend him. Well done Tim and thank you! Ian and Bridget.
