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 met Aileen Massie for an initial informal chat and after they didn’t feel the need to go anywhere else as it went so well.
She made us feel relaxed and in very safe hands. Our meeting was so lovely when we met to discuss our vows and we had plenty of questions over the following weeks changing our mind on certain aspects but nothing was too much trouble.
On our big day Aileen was fantastic, she really put us both at ease and everyone commented on how well the ceremony went and how easily it flowed and she put together our story perfectly!
I would highly recommend Aileen to anyone ❤️
Offering a review for Mo Waterston is easy; she is simply awesome in every way. Not only from our perspective but everyone who came to our wedding approached Mo directly to say how amazing she did, as well as speaking to Laura and I to tell us how terrific Mo was.
From the start of our planning Mo was there and offered the best advice and guidance we could possibly have expected. There were things we hadn’t thought of that honestly made the day it was. I’ll not give away her secrets, that’s for you to find out. The ideas just made everything so special.
Mo’s mix of seriousness, humour, romance, love, and everything else that she brought put everyone at ease and ensured our day was exactly as we wanted; intimate, relaxed and full of joy.
We cannot thank her enough!
Gerrie Douglas-Scott
Gerrie married us and she was absolutely brilliant. She made our big day extra special with lots of personal touches. All our guests commented after how brilliant she was and how personal and unique the ceremony was. We can’t thank Gerrie enough, she really made us feel at ease and communication throughout leading up to the wedding was excellent.
We were married by Maureen Waterson in May 2023. Mo was absolutely great on the run up to the big day with meetings and emails on how exactly we wanted the day to be. She was keen to understand the atmosphere we wanted for the day and came up with suggestions that really did make the difference for the ceremony.
On the day of the wedding she then stepped up to “Legend” status ! We had a bit of a document disaster, everyone’s worst nightmare (including Mo’s !). Mo remained cool and calm throughout and somehow managed to sort out the chaos so the wedding could go ahead. She went above and beyond on the day and the biggest credit was that most guests enjoyed Mo’s amazing ceremony blissfully unaware of the stress that had come before.
Couldn’t recommend Mo enough if you are thinking of having a Celebrant.
We got married June 2023 at Carlowrie Castle, our celebrant was Tim MaGuire and he was amazing!
We choose Tim because of how personal his ceremony’s are and from the get go he made the process very easy and enjoyable.
Through Tims “love work” we wrote our own ceremony and although it was our own words, Tim brought it to life on the day brilliantly.
We got a number of compliments after the ceremony on how good it was and how good Tim was. We can’t thank him enough for playing a big role in our special day!
