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.

Libby McArthur is an amazing celebrant! We cannot recommend her enough. We chose her for our wedding and we’re so happy with the ceremony. From the first Zoom call right up to the wedding day she was so helpful. She’s really down to earth, gave great advice and also kept us right along the way. Libby just made the whole process so easy and the final ceremony was exactly what we wanted. Everyone commented on how great it was. Thank you Libby 🙂 Becca and Craig x
We were married by Maureen Waterston in September last year. She had a sense of humour and informality that matched the relaxed vibe we wanted and incorporated our ideas into a personal ceremony that felt special and memorable to us. She also acted as a calming presence, being reassuring and professional. She stepped in to tweak our ceremony when we had a last minute crisis, included people who couldn’t be there without it being sad.
We couldn’t have asked for a Mo [geddit?] wonderful celebrant.
Gerrie and Susan Douglas-Scott married us in the Cow Shed in Crail. From start to finish they were warm and welcoming. Gerrie designed the perfect ceremony for us which was so personal and intimate. Our family and friends had such positive feedback too and so many of them said that it was a gorgeous ceremony.
It couldn’t have went better for us, they were perfect and would recommend them both wholeheartedly.
Gerrie (Celebrate People), you were utterly wonderful. We have had so any lovely comments about your warmth, your easy wit and your eloquence. We are so grateful. We too found you absolutely perfect for us and our bilingual ceremony; our favourite part of the whole day. A hundred thanks and merci beaucoup.

ANGELA CAMPBELL
Angela married us in the beautiful Dunblane on Saturday 25th March 2023. From initial contact, catch up meetings, through to the big day itself, Angela was simply wonderful and was a massive part of why our day was so special. Angela went the extra mile to find out as much personal information about us as possible and wrote the most magical ceremony littered with care, love and best of all, humour.
All attendees were raving about the ceremony afterwards with many going as far as to say it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been to, high praise indeed. I could not recommend Angela any more highly if you are looking for a celebrant for an upcoming wedding. Such a lovely, compassionate human being, easy to get on with, and a genuine care for the people she is marrying, all done with a smile on her face.
Thank you, Angela, for being such a massive part of our day. It is something we will remember fondly for the rest of our lives, and it could not have gone any better. We can only thank you from the bottom of our hearts for starting a lifetime of love and happiness for the O’Hara’s.
All our love, Ewan & Emma O’Hara
