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 absolutely loved working with Susan for our marriage ceremony. Throughout the planning stage, she was professional and organised: we felt like we were given lots of support and ideas whilst still being left with the freedom to set the tone and style of ceremony ourselves. The ceremony itself was warm, personal and just what we wanted: we received so many compliments on Susan’s contribution and will remember the special ceremony for the rest of our lives ????.
Angus was an excellent celebrant. He guided us giving us ideas and suggestions during the preparation process, and he was very friendly and easy to chat to, and it felt like of we knew him already. We were a bit overwhelmed planning so much for the wedding in a short length of time, and Angus helped us making this part of the process much easier.
He also speaks Italian which helped in order
to translate some sections to help our Italian relatives to follow the ceremony.
During the ceremony Angus was excellent, very proactive making sure he would coordinate with the musicians.
He brought a very lively and friendly energy to the ceremony, and his way of speaking is very engaging. We also felt very comfortable bringing our way of spirituality, and Angus was very open minded about our way of celebrating our ritual. He also brought a beautiful Celtic poem and blessings that gave a nice Scottish touch which is what we wanted as our families came from abroad to celebrate.
We enjoyed our marriage ceremony very much, and we are very grateful to Angus.
I saw Angus in Action at a friend’s wedding – see Doris’ review – and was inspired by the humanist approach and the way it was delivered. Angus led us through the preparations and his guidance, patience and humour allowed us to prepare a very personal, meaningful and uplifting mix of words, poems and music.
Jackie and I are in the second flush of youth – we’ve been together for over 15 years so the usual trappings and excesses mean little to us. We couldn’t have wished for more. Money cannot buy the love that filled the room that day.
I overheard a group of people talking about the evening and all were inspired to the extent they wnted to renew their vows in a humanist ceremony.
We’ll remember that day and Angus’ input forever!
Angus was recommended to us through a friend, he was the celebrant at her sisters wedding and there were nothing but positive things to be said. Leading up to the wedding and for the big day itself we can see exactly why this was and can add on ourselves now nothing but good words!
We wanted a personal humanist ceremony, something unique to us and that gave a story as to why we had chose this and what everything that was going into the wedding meant to us. Angus gave us guidance and tips to help from the initial meeting and leading into the wedding itself couldn’t have been more useful!
Every detail we needed or asked was explained thoroughly and we had so many compliments from family and friends after stating how good Angus was in delivering the ceremony for us.
Thank you again, it will literally be a day we remember forever!
Sarah from Celebrate People helped us every step of our wedding journey, from the initial stages of starting to think about what we would like to include as part of our ceremony, right through to keeping us calm and collected on the big day.
She helped tailor our ceremony around the importance of family and friends, which was a meaningful aspect we wanted to highlight throughout the day while keeping it relaxed and informal.
As such an important part of our day, we can’t thank you enough, and we appreciate all you did for us.
