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.

We were looking for a humanist who would give us a laid-back ceremony with some laughs and nothing fancy. Aileen met with us and we knew that she was perfect for the job. She delivered a great ceremony that our guests are still talking about. There was the right mix of humour and storytelling of us and our family and it was delivered exactly the way we wanted.
Aileen also helped us by providing ideas on vows we could use and was always positive and encouraging in guiding us to find what we felt was right for us.
Thank you, Aileen, for marrying us and making us feel so relaxed.

Aileen Massie was our celebrant and our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Aileen spent a lot of time getting to know us along with writing and telling our story perfectly. We have had many compliments from guests about how lovely our ceremony was, with a perfect mix of humour and emotion. Aileen made sure we were both comfortable and put our minds at ease several times on the run up to and on our wedding day. Couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant – thank you again Aileen x
Highly recommend Aileen. Such a beautiful lady inside & out. You can tell from Aileen’s initial email that she takes great pride in her work. Aileen really worked with us and was extremely accommodating of meeting us at our home (quite late in the evening) due to our work schedule and our 2 year old. Aileen took time to come and see me on the day and give me some support when needed, which was highly appreciated. The knowledge & support I was given through out the whole process was amazing, always replied to emails promptly reassured me and guided me when I didn’t know something. I can’t recommend Aileen enough. Thank you for conducting our ceremony and making it personal beautiful with a hint of laughter too. X
Dave and I recently married at Eden Festival in Dumfries & Galloway, with Graham Watson as our celebrant. He embraced all elements of our quirky wedding, encouraging us to truly do all of the things that felt special and important to us…and threw in a few fabulous ideas of his own. We felt so supported by him in the run up to our wedding and during the ceremony itself and his calm and fun presence made it all a joy. Lots of positive comments from our guests, we highly recommend!
We used Aileen Massie as our Humanist, she was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She made us feel so at ease when meeting with her and also on the day. She took the time to get to know us on a personal level through email and meeting in person, she put us at ease when we didn’t really know what to expect and was always on hand to answer any questions , Everybody has complimented our ceremony and how personal and emotional it was. She allowed us time to just take in the moment and also made our day so personal to us, genuinely could not recommend her enough! Absolutely outstanding humanist!
