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.

After cancelling our wedding in 2020 and moving to 2021 our original celebrant couldn’t make our new date so he recommends Sharon Campbell to us. I couldn’t be more thankful to him as we were both so glad to have Sharon as our celebrant. She played such an important part in our special day. She was truly amazing from start to finish. Made us feel at ease from our 1st meeting onwards. We had so many compliments about how amazing our ceremony was. Highly recommend.
SUSAN DOUGLAS-SCOTT – She married just recently on 29th October 2021 in Ayrshire. Susan could not have made pre-wedding process any easier for us. Especially during postponments, lockdown and multiple policy changes. Her knowledge with keeping us on the right path and keeping us calm, yet excited was a relief. Susan was always ready at the otherside of zoom or email to answer any questions. She encouraged us to make the ceremony completely personal to us as a couple and gave advice on areas we struggled with. Susan conducted the ceremony with a very warm and welcoming manner and took our excited ring barer (our dog) in her stride. I loved how she added in her own comments on our ‘how we got together’ and ‘engagement story’ told to our guests. Susan was there in the morning to welcome my arrival, update and reasure me on the event ahead. She even acted as my personal seamstress just before walking down the aisle! I’ts the little thing’s she done that I loved, like ensuring we stand in a way to interact with our guests, reminding my bridemaids to keep my dress photo ready and general smooth running of the cermony!
I don’t know how she kept up with it all during a pandemic but she done a fantastic job and always with that big warm smile. We felt we instantly connected when we were able to meet in person and this carried on even through our zoom meetings. We both recommend Susan, words can’t express how much. Just make an appointment to meet and you will understand why.
Thank you Susan !

Susan stepped in for us when our original celebrant could no longer make our date due to ill health and she did a fantastic job. She was incredibly proactive and helpful from the start, got to know us over Zoom (ah, Covid…) and provided resources and inspiration for things we may want to include – making the task of writing your own ceremony fun, personal and less daunting. She also kept us on track and on schedule! On the day Susan was wonderful, explained all proceedings clearly and helped both of us be at ease with what we had to do. Her attention to detail was brilliant and she really got into the spirit of our ceremony, checking any pronunciations before we started and delivering our in-jokes in style. So many of our guests commented on how unique the ceremony was and how much they enjoyed it – it even inspired some friends to write their own ceremony too! Susan is a lovely person and we will always fondly remember our amazing and personal ceremony, and would have no hesitation in recommending Susan or Celebrate People to anybody looking for their own Humanist ceremony.

Susan married us on the 31st December 2021 and we aren’t really sure we can manage to put into one review how special Susan made the ceremony for us. The whole process was LOVELY and the ceremony was more than we could have ever imagined for. Susan set the tone for whole day from the start of the ceremony and brought wonderful energy to our day – even through a slight fire mishap!! We can’t thank her or recommend her highly enough.

Sharon Campbell
We used Sharon for our wedding following a recommendation from a friend and I can honestly say we were not disappointed. From the first contact Sharon was approachable, friendly and professional. She assisted us with everything we needed and kept in touch regularly. Sharon made us feel at total ease both at our meetings before the wedding and on the day itself. She spoke with our family and guests too and everyone commented on how nice she was and how good a job she done during the ceremony. I can’t recommend Sharon enough and you won’t go wrong by using her services.
