I have been a Celebrant since 2003 and I am the Pastoral Care Lead with Celebrate People.  I conduct many different kinds of ceremonies in English, Spanish, French and Italian!  I love totally personalised ceremonies and helping couples and families to be part of creating memories for the people they love.  

It is my joy to respect the beliefs of people with spiritual and religious beliefs too.  And the balance between warmth, humour and the quiet and beauty when you make your vows is central to my approach and my relationship with you.  Celebrating and remembering the life of someone is a total privilege and one of the most significant things i have ever done over the past 20 years.

Empathy and kindness and genuine enjoyment is central to everything I do.  

I was a government adviser on involving people in their health care and in 2022-3 I was the Co-Chair of the Scottish Government’s Expert Working Group on Spiritual Care Education (Health and Social Care).  I am now Trustee of Pushing up the Daisies charity.

I am completely passionate about person-centred ceremonies that are tailored to your wishes and hopes and needs.

Love and connection are everything to me and as the first women to be married in an Equal Marriage ceremony in Scotland, Susan and I welcome ALL who love, and who love each other in marriage. We are even known to conduct ceremonies together by special request. We are Trans allies and LGBTQIA+ passionate!

I am a counsellor with Celebrate People and I can accompany people at the end of life too.  I am grateful to do what I do, I really am. 

I am here if you would like to ask any questions at all.

Reviews

Lorna & Michael
"Gerrie conducted our ceremony and not only is she an amazing celebrant but she is an amazing human!

Gerrie helped us design a ceremony that reflects both myself and my, now husband, Michael. Gerrie kept in touch all throughout the planning stages and was just superb on the day.

Our ceremony was nothing short of perfect! Gerrie was full of energy and kept all of our nearest and dearest totally engrossed in her lovely words. Many of our friends and family commented in our guest book that it was the most romantic, light-hearted, well-delivered ceremony they had ever been too!

We can’t thank Gerrie enough! You're just a total ray of sunshine and you made our day!"
Lucie and Hannah
You were absolutely phenomenal.

Countless friends and family commented on how amazing you were and we absolutely adored the ceremony as you led it.

Lots of love, Lucie and Hannah
Alan
I'm writing on behalf of the whole family to thank you very much for conducting such a wonderful service for our much loved mother Jean.

Your guidance, experience and insight from the outset was hugely valuable to us all at a time when we needed direction. We thought that you captured the spirit and tone of how we saw things and wanted them expressed absolutely perfectly. So thank you very much.

Kindest regards Alan (May 2025)
