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.

Where do we start with Tina? We knew when we first met Tina, she was the right celebrant for us. We had a few calls and then met in person, every time we spoke to her we felt so comfortable and genuinely like speaking to someone we had known for years. Tina listened to all we had to say and put it into an amazing ceremony, she gave us lots of different ideas to think about to include which we did and our ceremony felt so personal and memorable for us. Whenever we had a question, she was only a message away and was in regular contact. We can’t thank Tina enough for everything she done to make our day so special. We would highly recommend Tina if you want a fantastic ceremony, all of our guests commented on how good she was ✨🌈♥️

From the very beginning, Tina put so much thought and care into getting to know us. With plenty of video calls and WhatsApp messages throughout the process. Everything felt really personal and she was always friendly, reassuring and genuinely excited to be part of our day.
We particularly loved how involved she was in helping us shape the ceremony. She kept things moving when we needed it. And even though we were very unconventional almost every step of the way, she never made us feel like we were doing anything “wrong”. Instead, she encouraged us to think about our own story and the things that mattered to us, which helped make the ceremony feel authentically us.
Tina was also brilliant at encouraging the sentimental side of things. She understood that the little personal details mattered, and helped us lean into those without anything ever feeling forced or cheesy. She was incredibly thoughtful and inclusive too, particularly around things like gender and surnames, which made us feel completely comfortable being ourselves.
One of our favourite things was how much she researched the area and our location. She brought in these lovely, magical little facts and stories that we didn’t even know ourselves, which added an extra bit of whimsy and personality to the day.
Overall, Tina made the whole experience feel easy, personal and really special. We felt completely supported by her, and we’re so glad she was the person who helped tell our story on such an important day.
We cannot thank Libby enough for being our celebrant on our wedding day. From the very first call with Libby we felt we instantly clicked and knew we wanted her to be the person who married us. Libby was so fantastic at helping keeping us on track and making sure everything was done on time for the wedding. We were looking for a relaxed but fun ceremony and Libby absolutely delivered this. Talking to her and telling our story felt so easy like we were talking to someone we knew for years. I cannot recommend Libby enough. You will not be disappointed if you book her for your wedding or any event that would require a celebrant. A few people were even starstruck aswell and everyone commented on how good she was. Thank you so much again Libby.

My wife and I were so very lucky to find the amazing and beautiful Tina Mackellar from Celebrate People to be our celebrant for our wedding day. Not only is Tina the consummate professional in her role but she gave us such a gorgeous and personalised experience. We got to chat with Tina months before the wedding and to talk through how it would go, including getting advice and suggestions on how to make our own day even more unique.
Tina was regularly in contact to check all the details and to get to know us before the special day. Tina’s ceremony on the day was perfect – joyful, organised, engaging, funny and heartwarming all in one. As a couple from the LGBTQ community it’s always a bit nerve-wracking finding the perfect person and having confidence that everything will be fabulous on the day. Tina put us and all of our guests completely at ease. That being said, we believe that Tina is the perfect choice for ANY couple looking for a beautiful, fun and personalised ceremony that makes the day what we all dream it will be.
All of our family and friends were also very impressed, both by how personal Tina’s ceremony was and also that she spoke to them too to get little gems of information to make the ceremony extra special and relatable.
We cannot thank her enough and we want to convey to anyone looking for an outstanding celebrant that you can stop looking after reading this!
And congratulations to all the new couples about to get married!
Thank you Tina! 🥰Xxx
We were lucky enough to be married by Aileen Massie, she was professional, friendly, engaging and helpful throughout the entire process and from very early stages we knew we wanted Aileen to conduct our wedding. I wasn’t the most organised Bride but Aileen ensured we knew everything we needed to know about the ceremony and spent time to really get to know us as a couple.
The biggest compliment I can give, however, was her ability to put our story into such a beautiful script, she spoke with sincerity and like she’d known us our entire life, everyone complimented the ceremony afterwards. She had us laughing and crying simultaneously and is just wonderful at her job.
This was the best day of our lives so far, and I’m so glad Aileen was the one conducting our wedding. We’ll have this memory forever and Aileen made us feel as though she enjoyed getting to know us, and enjoyed conducting our wedding; it felt personal and heartfelt. I’d recommend her to anyone. Thank you for helping us make this day so special.
