Susan Mathieson

 

Biography

I was born and brought up on a farm on the outskirts of Edinburgh and have lived in the city itself for the last 34 years.  I have two beautiful grown-up daughters who also live in Edinburgh.  In 2011 I attended my first humanist funeral, and it was this that inspired me to train as a Celebrant. 

Being a celebrant is so rewarding. It’s a huge privilege to be invited into the lives of families at such a difficult time, and an honour to create a meaningful ceremony that reflects the life of the person they loved. I was married in a humanist ceremony in December 2014 and it was the happiest day of my life.  The party was great, but it was the ceremony that everyone still remembers.

I want every couple I marry to have the same experience.  It’s your wedding, and the ceremony is all about you, and the reasons you want to marry.  I’ll help you create a unique ceremony that will be more than you could ever hope for!

Reviews

“We aren’t really sure we can manage to put into one review how special Susan made the ceremony for us. The whole process was LOVELY and the ceremony was more than we could have ever imagined for. Susan set the tone for whole day from the start of the ceremony and brought wonderful energy to our day – even through a slight fire mishap!! We can’t thank her or recommend her highly enough.”

Susan was so supportive and friendly and helped us with everything we needed to know. She went above and beyond and nothing was ever too much for her. Susan came to meet me before I walked down the aisle and her friendly personality and kind manner immediately put me at ease. It was a privilege to hear her tell our story. She is such a wonderful speaker. I could listen to her talk all day. We would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a humanist. Thank you for everything Susan! It was an honour to have you marry us.

Susan - our perfect celebrant!

July 17, 2024

We had the absolute pleasure of having Susan conduct the ceremony at our recent wedding.

My wife and I could not be more appreciative of all of the help and guidance that Susan afforded us throughout the whole process. She was always so polite and pleasant in all the interactions that we had with her, even when we needed a gentle prodding to “get things moving”!

Susan is a complete expert in her field and with her knowledge and talent, we were able to conjure up a perfect ceremony which captured our feelings and individual characters to a tee!

Without her, the day would not have gone as well as it did! We will both be forever grateful for the huge part that Susan played in the success of the most amazing day of our lives!

Thank you so much for being a perfect person to lead our ceremony!

We would not hesitate to ask Susan back if we could do it all over again ❤️

Thanks again,

Jennifer & Marc
