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.

Mo (Maureen Waterstone) was the best person to have carried out our ceremony.
Right from the first meeting with Mo we knew we had found the right person. We felt at ease straight away and she helped us to create the day that we wanted.
Mo really worked with us so she could understand our relationship. Neither of us like to be the centre of attention, so we were able to create a ceremony that was not just about our story, but about the people that mean the most to us.
Our ceremony was very light hearted, funny and exceptionally well delivered. I wish we could do it all again!
We had great feedback from our guests about how personable and funny our ceremony was.
We would like to express our utmost thanks again to Mo and would absolutely recommend her to anyone

It’s such a difficult decision of who to choose with so much choice.

Gerrie married us at the University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel – she was amazing from the moment we met her. She explained everything so clearly and we knew we were going to get the personal ceremony we were after. She was charming, funny and knowledgeable about everything. We could not imagine our wedding without Gerrie!
Thank you so much
Mo (Maureen Waterston) was the best celebrant we could have wished for – our ceremony was one of our favourite parts of the day. We wanted a celebrant who could match the vibe of our ceremony, able to have lighthearted fun but also meaningful moments. We both come from religious families so we wanted someone who would be able to understand this despite us not choosing to have a religious ceremony. Mo was the best – she was great at communication, and made us feel so happy and comfortable from our first meeting. Our ceremony was so ‘us’ and all our guests told us how much that came across.
Mo guided us through the whole process so well, giving us tips and direction to really end up with the perfect result. She was friendly and funny and made everyone feel at ease (especially us!). We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Rhona McLachlan was our celebrant, she was amazing! She kept in touch with us throughout the whole journey, and was always just a message away if we needed her. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect, it captured who we are as a couple perfectly, and we got so many compliments from our guests. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to conduct our ceremony.
