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.

Gerrie Carried out my wedding ceremony , there was plenty of communication and help were it was needed , the ceremony was fantastic also Gerrie was very prepared , me and my wife wrote our own vows due to the emotion of the day both me and Claire forgot what we had written and Gerri was on hand to give us print outs of our vows .
I honestly couldn’t recommend Gerrie enough ,
Where do we even begin ?!
From the first time we had contact with Gerrie, we knew we had chosen the best celebrant possible to conduct our wedding ceremony. After having 5 wedding dates, due to a family bereavement and the pandemic, Gerrie was with us every step of the way. Gerrie’s kind and warm personality made our wedding day that extra bit special. We could not recommend anyone enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts x
Susan Mathieson
After having to postpone our 2022 wedding, our original humanist recommended Susan. Susan was amazing to deal with, even during tricky covid teams. She was so supportive and friendly and helped us with everything we needed to know. She went above and beyond and nothing was ever too much for her. Susan came to meet me before I walked down the aisle and her friendly personality and kind manner immediately put me at ease. It was a privilege to hear her tell our story. She is such a wonderful speaker. I could listen to her talk all day. So many of our guests commented on how lovely our ceremony was and how fantastic Susan was. We completely agree. We just received the video of our ceremony and it is so lovely to watch back. Even better than I remember at this time, and this is all thanks to Susan. We would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a humanist. Thank you for everything Susan! It was an honour to have you marry us.
SHARON CAMPBELL.
Sharon was easily one of the top highlights of our wedding day – one of the things everyone tells us made our day so unique, personal and special.
We wanted a service and wedding that was really relaxed, personal and just a bit of a laugh. Nothing too serious, or soppy, just us and our friends and family having a bit of fun. She nailed it.
From the first meeting she made us completely relax and tell her exactly what we wanted and she gave us exactly that.
Her service was hilarious. Sharon is an absolute scream – because that’s what we asked her to be.
Thank you Sharon!
Gerrie made our ceremony so special and we couldn’t thank her enough. David and I got married on December 12th 2021 at Stucktaymore Estate and Gerrie had no hesitation even although it was a distance to travel. From start to finish, she made our preparations so personal and gave us ideas for example, hand fasting, which was a lovely touch. She took time to get to know us and that was reflected in our ceremony. From being on hand to help with my dress even before the ceremony started to making our ceremony both light hearted yet personal, we couldn’t have asked for any more from Gerrie and for anyone who is thinking of having a humanist ceremony, you don’t need to look any further. Thank you again x
