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.

Aileen Massie conducted our service for our wedding. She was so personal to us and made the service very relaxed and enjoyable. All our guests commented how lovely the ceremony was and how well she knew us. It was such a lovely day made special by Aileen.
Thank you so much
We had an amazing one of a kind wedding and it wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing humanist, Rhona McLachlan.
She was everything we could have hoped for and helped guide us in making the perfect ceremony.
You could tell she was very passionate about her job and cared about making our day exactly how we imagined.
She was fantastic at helping ease our nerves and answered any questions we had, it was out first time being married after all 😛
The way she was able to compose and tell our love story was truly remarkable and a memory that we will cherish forever.
Our day truly won’t have been the same without her!
Thank you so much for everything, Love Jamie & Ildi xx
We had the most amazing humanist for our wedding. Rhona McLachlan really was great and we couldn’t have asked for a better person for the job, she was hilarious and very adaptable to meet all our requirements. Rhona was super relaxed and helped ease my nerves with her calm but funny presence. Rhona created the most beautiful story of our life that we will forever remember being part of our beautiful ceremony. Thank you so much Rhona for your amazing part in our day. It would not of been the same without you xx
Angus Farquhar was(/is) incredible. He is a long-time family friend who we had seen in action at Dai and Jackie’s wedding – see their review here also – and seeing the way he celebrated their love and and connection to each other – and to those present – was an inspiration.
On our wedding day, the beautiful words and poetry which he shared during our ceremony – and the way in which he held the space for us, our stories and our commitments to each other – truly helped to cast a spell over everyone as the magic of the day took hold.
Angus’ calming energy, laced with heart and humour, was exactly the vibe we needed to feel grounded – especially so the day prior when nerves were high, as we went through the rehearsal. And the chance for Helyn and I to reflect so intentionally on our relationship in prep for the day was a blessing. We’ll be drawing energy from the day indefinitely – unforgettable.
With deep love and gratitude,
Gerrie is the best celebrant anyone can have. She is kind, attentive to the detail and commited to conduct a ceremony that you won’t forget. Gerrie married me and my partner at Dunnottar Castle and conducted the whole ceremony in Spanish. Her Spanish is perfect and our guests were delighted with her kindness and sense of humor. If you are looking for a ceremony with a tailored script for you, she is who you are looking for. We wrote the script and with her help the outcome was a dream come true. Thanks Gerrie!! You made everyone beyond happy that day.
