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.

TIM MAGUIRE
Look no further! You’ve found the perfect celebrant!
My husband and I absolutely loved having Tim as our celebrant for our wedding at Carlowrie Castle in May 2023. From the first meeting, Tim was kind, funny and reassuring – he understood exactly what we wanted for our ceremony.
Tim helped us create the perfect ceremony for us, sharing lots of examples from other couples and the most fun homework we’ve ever been given! The whole process was super easy but also made us reflect on the reasons why we were getting married, which was really nice amidst the stressful moments of planning a wedding.
The ceremony we created with Tim turned out to be so personal to us and our guests actually enjoyed it! So many of our friends and family commented that it was the best ceremony they had ever been part of and they particularly loved our personalised vows and hearing the story of how we met.
Tim also gave us lots of helpful info and guidance, such as how to get our marriage certificate in preparation for the wedding and what to do afterwards. This seems like a small thing but it made a big difference!
We could go on and on but honestly we can’t recommend Tim highly enough!
Ps. You can find Tim on instagram at @humanisttim.
Aileen Massie was our celebrant for our wedding back in June and she was fantastic. Aileen was so helpful in the run up with any questions and she was a joy to work with planning the ceremony. We met with Aileen to tell her our story and what we wanted to include in the ceremony (a reading and handfasting). We also had the chance to adapt/personalise our vows from some examples Aileen sent.
On the day our ceremony was perfect. Aileen kept us at ease and conducted the ceremony with the perfect mix of humour and sincerity. Since then, we’ve had so many of our guests tell us how much they enjoyed it and not just the humanist ceremony but Aileen herself. We can’t thank Aileen enough for her hard work and be such an important part of our special day!
The wonderful Maureen (Mo) married us in July this year and she was absolutely amazing! From the very first meeting she made us feel at ease, no pressure and we just knew she was our person for our special day. Mo was understanding of the way we wanted our ceremony to be, helping us to create a ceremony that was unique and exactly how we wanted it. She was fantastic throughout with helping us plan the whole thing. She was totally on board with getting our two boys involved again with absolutely no pressure at all on them, a very relaxed approach! (Mo had also previously met up with us in softplay so that the boys would be comfortable on the day, such a fab lady!) So many people commented on the day of how it was the most beautiful, touching and personal wedding they had attended.
Would definitely recommend…thank you Mo, we are so grateful we bumped into you when we did, you got our day off to the best start and it was everything we could have wished for. ????
Gerrie was absolutely fantastic at our wedding on 23.7.23. Our ceremony was so special and so personal. There wasn’t a dry eye. What an incredible woman!
Gerrie
I was Mother of the Bride on this very special day, and not having been to a wedding conducted by a Celebrant I wasn’t sure what to expect. I needn’t have worried as Gerrie was fabulous from beginning to end, and she set the tone perfectly for what turned out to be a fabulous and stress free day.
She engaged brilliantly with the married couple and the guests, and all done with loads of personality and great humour. There were wonderful comments about her performance from many of those who attended the ceremony and I would thoroughly recommend Gerrie
