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 absolutely made our ceremony. She has been so pleasant and friendly throughout all our wedding prep and supported us through postponed dates. Lots of feedback from guests that this was the best ceremony they’d ever been too – a first humanist service for some. She made us laugh all the way through and is just so personable. She makes it all about you as a couple and your lives together whilst getting everyone there involved as well. And we got to meet her super cute wee dog! An absolute superstar.
SHARON CAMPBELL – CELEBRANT
Sharon recently conducted our wedding ceremony in Edinburgh. After being recommended by a friend, we were invited to meet Sharon at her house and we had a very relaxed chat over a coffee and cake! Sharon was the perfect choice of celebrant for us. She was warm, friendly, kind and professional from the outset and really helped guide us through the whole planning process.
Sharon conducted our wedding ceremony beautifully. It was modern, funny and incredibly personal – there wasn’t a dry eye in the room! She had clearly really taken on board all the information that that we had given her beforehand and she put together a lovely script for our day.
Sharon’s experience was invaluable during the planning of our wedding, offering suggestions for parts of our ceremony and she kept us well informed of her intentions for the day – always being open minded to change to ensure that we got exactly what we wanted. After the ceremony, so many of our guests commented on the content and how beautifully it was conducted by Sharon. Several guests asked for Sharon’s contact details for future recommendations.
Sharon was amazing to work with and we’re truly honoured that we had the opportunity to meet and work with her – we couldn’t have got a better match for a Celebrant.
We cannot recommend Sharon enough for any couple planning on tying the knot (or planning a funeral/memorial service) – she is simply amazing at what she does! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much Sharon xx
Tim made our wedding an incredible journey from creation to tying the knot!
It was only from a friends humanist wedding that we realised it was possible to create your own unique ceremony, so after just a short research we stumbled upon Tim & knew he was who we wanted on our special day. Knowing a tree was planted for everyone he married was an easy win!
From our first contact with Tim he was professional & easy to communicate with. We had a zoom chat to meet & felt immediately at ease with working with him to understand a humanist ceremony & how we could weave our own story into it.
He set us a wonderful homework task that helped us get creative but also allowed us to reflect on our relationship & why we wanted to get married that helped form the perfect ceremony for us.
It was fun for all involved, & when the wedding day came we felt prepared, confident & ready to enjoy the most gorgeous ceremony.
All of our guests had huge praise for Tim, the comedic value was exactly what we wanted & we can’t thank him enough for standing in the cold winds as we were desperate to have an outdoor wedding.
It was our biggest honour to have Tim marry us, thank you so much!

Sharon was honestly outstanding! Our ceremony was chilled, upbeat, and full of laughs, which is what we wanted. Right from the word go, working with Sharon was easy. Our script felt super personal and nothing was ever a bother to her. I would recommend her to any fun-loving, easy-going couples who actually want to enjoy their own ceremony…we certainly did!
Gerrie was absolutely INCREDIBLE! She made us feel so comfortable from start to finish. The ceremony was so special thanks to gerrie, it was funny, emotional and personal. We can’t thank gerrie enough for making our day so special!
