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 honestly couldn’t recommend Mo Waterston, our celebrant enough! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing. She told our story so beautifully and captured all the little details that made our ceremony feel so personal and special.
There genuinely wasn’t a dry eye in the house! So many of our guests commented afterwards on how beautiful and heartfelt the ceremony was.
We are so grateful to have had her play such an important part in our wedding day. Mo made our ceremony everything we could have hoped for and more. Thank you so much for helping make our day so incredibly special! 🤍
From the moment we met Sarah, we knew she was the person we wanted to lead our ceremony. There was an instant warmth and connection that made us feel completely at ease, we felt so drawn to the love and intention she brought to everything.
Throughout the process of creating our ceremony, Sarah made us feel completely supported and truly listened to. She created something so personal and meaningful that, when we heard it on the day, it genuinely felt like us.
Sarah brought so much heart and thoughtfulness to our wedding and we couldn’t recommend her enough. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her be such a special part of our day.
We couldn’t have done it without Mo!
As we live in Newcastle, we were in the dark about getting married in Edinburgh. Mo guided us through step by step regarding all the paperwork we needed to complete, when for and where this was. As soon as we chatted on facetime, we knew Mo would be the perfect person for us as she was easy to talk to and incredibly funny. She communicated with us right up until the wedding to make sure we were happy with what she had prepared-which was amazing! On the day of our wedding, many people complimented our ceremony, which is all thanks to Mo!!
My now wife Abby and I met our celebrant Sarah Wills at the Scottish wedding unconvention in Glasgow and right from the get go we knew she was exactly who we were looking for. Her attitude and perspective on marriage and love fit our ethos perfectly and we couldn’t be happier she was the person who conducted our ceremony.
Throughout the process we both felt reassured we were in safe hands as Sarah was incredibly attentive to our needs. She crafted a ceremony that truly felt like a representation of what mattered most to Abby and I. Telling her our story and then hearing it retold to us via Sarah’s script made us all the more excited to get married and further cemented our bond.
We had so many people comment on how wonderful she was as a celebrant and that it was one of the more personal ceremonies they’d seen. Thank you again Sarah for all your hard work in making our special day a reality, we quite literally couldn’t have done it without you!
From the get go Graham was absolutely fabulous. He really took so much time to get to know us both which shone through in our ceremony. We had so many lovely comments from guests about what a beautiful ceremony it was, and people said it was so different to what they had seen before! Graham kept us calm, and talked us through the whole thing, we could just tell from our first encounter with Graham how much he genuinely loves his job and enjoys being such a huge part of couples’ special day. Thank you Graham, you have been incredible and made our day so special!
