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 married us last April in a very intimate ceremony in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, Aberfoyle. She was all we needed and more on the day as well as in the process leading up to it.
We were determined to have a personal ceremony and with the help and advice of Gerrie, we were able to easily put together the wording and itinerary ourselves. Gerrie was beautifully friendly and open from the first communication and for that we are full of gratitude. We had some emotionally tough family illness leading up to the day and Gerrie was understanding and accommodating of what our needs and wants were at every step, nothing felt stressed or uncomfortable.
The level of warm relaxed communication made for a really wonderful experience in planning our ceremony and Gerrie felt more like a friend than a service. Thank you for you and we hope to see you again sometime back in Scotland or afar.
We got to know Sarah through a friend’s recommendation and after having met her we were sure we had found the right person to conduct our wedding ceremony.
Sarah guided us every step of the way and explained all our options resulting in a ceremony that fully reflected us and our life. She gave helpful pointers and timely reminders in the run up to the wedding..
On the day itself we were up against a red weather warning which meant having to change our timings to keep everyone safe. Sarah was in constant communication with us, helping us to find a solution which meant we could go ahead. And the ceremony itself was just beautiful and the whole day all the more memorable for it.
Thank you Sarah, you were amazing.

Mo married Rob and I at Sorn Castle on 28th of September 2024. From our very first meeting with Mo we knew she was the right person to help curate our special day. She was kind and patient throughout, took time to get to know us and help guide us to work out how we wanted the day to flow. Every element of the day was perfect, and so many people commented on just how special the ceremony was with all the wonderful elements Mo helped us create for the ceremony.
I couldn’t recommend Mo highly enough to anyone getting married, she is a wonderful person and a brilliant celebrant who will help you make the perfect day. Thanks Mo!
We had Tim Maguire reaffirm our marriage. Tim was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. He was a pleasure to deal with and he really opened our eyes to what can be done in a wedding ceremony.
We are so grateful to him for making us do our Lovework. This helped so much with writing our secret vows to each other which ended up being our favourite part of the day. It really made it special.
Tim was great with the crowd too, almost every guest afterwards commented on how incredible he was. He knows weddings inside and out and if you choose to go with him as your celebrant, you are definitely in good hands! He will help you make your wedding day feel special and personalised for just you. I cannot recommend him enough.
Mo Waterston was our celebrant on our wedding day and she was fantastic in the day and throughout the whole process. Mo met with us before booking and also when we were in the planning process which was really helpful to make us feel at ease. Our ceremony was personal to us and Mo was great with suggestions of what we could include. The ceremony itself was all we could’ve asked for, light hearted with personal touches. Many of our guests also mentioned how great the ceremony was. I would highly recommend Mo!
