Susan Douglas-Scott

I’m a celebrant based in Pollokshields, Glasgow, creating ceremonies that feel human, warm and true to the people at the heart of them. I do this across Glasgow, Fife, Ayrshire and the rest of Scotland, supporting couples and families who want a ceremony shaped with care, creativity and dignity.

I lead wedding ceremonies, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, naming ceremonies, and transition rituals for people who want something personal and meaningful. Many people find me when searching for a wedding celebrant in Glasgow or an inclusive celebrant in Scotland, but what matters most to me is creating a ceremony that reflects your story and your values.

As an experienced funeral celebrant, I also support families through loss with compassion and steadiness. I create funeral and memorial ceremonies that honour each person’s life with respect, warmth and authenticity.

My partner Gerrie and I founded Celebrate People to offer ceremonies rooted in equality, creativity and genuine human connection. We are proudly LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and we welcome diverse families, cultures, identities and beliefs. This isn’t a marketing line for us — it’s the life we live.

With a long background in NHS and social care leadership, I have a particular affinity with healthcare professionals and their families. I understand the pressures, the dedication and the humanity of that world, and I bring that understanding into the ceremonies I create with them.

I travel across Scotland — from city venues to rural settings and everything in between — to help shape ceremonies that feel grounded, joyful and real.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me with family, friends, our dogs and cat, enjoying good food, good wine and good company.
