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.

Susan Douglas-Scott married my wife, Caroll-Anne, and I on 8th April 2022.
We met Susan and Gerrie at a wedding Fayre in 29 Private Members Club. We started chatting about our fur babies and instantly felt a very lovely connection. We got in contact soon after to ask Susan if she would perform our ceremony.
Susan was so friendly, warm and genuinely took an interest in us. Covid hit and we had to move our wedding and also the venue but thankfully Susan was still available on our new date.
We had a few zoom/FaceTime calls with Susan and we all got to know each other a little. The whole experience of creating a ceremony so personal to us was incredible. It was very exciting reading through the first draft of our wedding ceremony and we were very overwhelmed at how personal it was. We loved it!! It was what we wanted and more.
On the day of our wedding, Susan came to chat to us beforehand and I was very nervous. Susan was a very calming influence and really supportive.
The ceremony itself was even more perfect than we could ever have dreamed. A great mix of love, laughter and just so personal to us as it captured our relationship so beautifully. It was truly magical and every single person who attended our wedding all mentioned Susan and how fantastic she was.
So from 2 very happy newlyweds, THANK YOU from the very bottom of our hearts for making our day more special than we could ever have hoped for xx
Tim Maguire
From the minute we met Tim we knew he was who we wanted to conduct our ceremony for our special day!
Our wedding had been postponed twice due to covid, but Tim kept in contact with us over the years until we finally got our day!
It was slightly daunting thinking that we had to put together our own ceremony, however Tim was on hand the whole journey and we also bought his book which was a massive help when trying to make our ceremony as special as we wanted it to be.
Tim is an all round amazing guy, who is very calming. The way he conducted our ceremony was very professional but also has everyone laughing.
So many people commented on how great a ceremony it was and I feel that this was down to Tim.
We are so grateful for everything he did for us and was lovely to see him getting on so well with our other suppliers!
We wouldn’t of wanted anyone else to marry us!
Maureen Waterston ( Mo) was absolutely fantastic! She took the time to get to know us and involved us both to create a ceremony that felt so personal and unique. Mo also gave our 6yr old son the support and encouragement that he needed to stand and read a lovely poem. We had such a great experience throughout the whole process that we would consider Mo a friend now…rather than just someone who married us. It really would not have been the same day without her. Thanks again Mo, lots of love Laura and Martin Scott.
My husband and I were married by Mo in July of 2021. Although we had several rescheduled wedding dates( due to Covid) we found Mo to the patient, professional, enthusiastic and very approachable.
Mo helped Jonny and I to create a ceremony that will stay with us forever. I loved every minute of it. It was special, unique and really complimented our personalities ( we wanted it to be special and meaningful with elements of light heartedness).
Our families and friends commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony. So much so that we are attending a wedding in May where Mo will be the celebrant.
My wife and I consider ourselves very lucky to have found our celebrant, Lenny Love, through Celebrate People. He was a class act through the entire process. He was in close contact from early on to provide guidance for what seemed like a daunting process. However, with Lenny it was easy and with his help we created a ceremony tailored exactly to our taste as he encouraged us to explore our relationship and experiences we had been through together. Even when we had to delay the wedding for a long period and dramatically change our plans due to Covid lockdowns, Lenny was extremely helpful and supportive.
The wedding day itself was fantastic and went perfectly. We were married on the shore of Loch Voil and Lenny was engaging, funny and assured. He performed the ceremony flawlessly and wasn’t even put off his rhythm when the groom had to run off mid-ceremony to change his shoes! We can’t recommend Lenny and Celebrate people highly enough. Thank you for helping make our day a special one!
