"Everyone should be able to choose what they want to say at their Ceremony whether it is a Wedding, Civil Service, Vows exchange or Baby Naming. It’s a very personal event in their lives and should be remembered for all the right reasons".
Everyone should be able to choose what they want to say at their Ceremony whether it is a Wedding, Civil Service, Vows exchange or Baby Naming. Families should be able to say goodbye to their loved one and pay tribute in their own unique way. It’s a very personal event in people’s lives and should be remembered for all the right reasons”.
Mo is well organised and loves helping couples to create the ceremony they want and desire. As a Celebrant Mo believes your day should be exactly that – YOUR day! She can help you choose the ceremony you really want and will help guide you with various symbolic gestures, personal vows, poems and readings and more importantly tell your guests about your love story or your journey as a couple.
Mo is always full of new ideas and likes to keep up to date with the latest Wedding trends! She can help you in the build up to your big day or even on the day to ensure that all your carefully laid plans are executed the way you want them and you can relax and enjoy your ceremony and your day. #lovemyjob #letsgetmarried #yourdayyourway
For Baby Naming ceremonies, Mo considers it an honour to be a part of such a special day especially if she has also had the pleasure of conducting the parents’ wedding ceremony – what a privilege it is to be able to present to the world their new born baby and introduce them by their chosen name.
In Mo’s experience, with bereaved families, being able to give someone the send-off they would have wanted is often the best way to help family and friends of the deceased with their grieving process. Drawing on memories and moments shared in their life, can help to make a difficult time much more bearable. If someone was a wartime hero – let’s tell everyone in attendance – if they were the life and soul of the party and full of fun and laughter then that is how they should be remembered and their life should be celebrated. Mo is there to help families to build a tribute that reflects the deceased life as they knew them and to tell that tribute to the funeral attendees.
"My husband and I can't thank Mo enough for conducting our day! We definitely could not of asked for anyone better. Mo, you absolutely nailed our story, you brought a friendly face to keep us calm, you brought a beautiful kind manner and we honestly felt more like we had a personal friend present to help us throughout our ceremony than a celebrant. I honestly can't thank you enough all of our day guests commented on how special our ceremony was, how well it told our story and how much it brought our love together as we unite as a family. A few said they've never been to a wedding anything like that too. I'd definitely HIGHLY recommend you. You have always been so speedy in corresponding with us about our wedding and meeting all of our needs. We will miss chatting with you but be forever thankful that you played a part in starting off our marriage. Thank you sincerely from the very bottom of our hearts!" -The new Mr & Mrs Doolan
"I am the luckiest girl in the world to have had Mo as my celebrant. I am a Canadian that planned my dream elopement to Edinburgh. Our ceremony was held at St. Anthony’s chapel in Holyrood Park - I had no rain back up plan and I didn’t realize how high of a climb it was (sorry Mo!)… our amazing, easy going, flexible celebrant had no problem rolling with it. From our very first virtual meeting, I knew that Mo was our perfect fit. Mo has a wonderful sense of humour and she really took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple. I wanted to honour my husbands Scottish roots by incorporating Scottish wedding traditions into our ceremony; Mo went above and beyond to help us - she offered everything we would need for a quaich and hand fasting ceremony. Our day would not have been the same without Mo and I will forever be grateful that she was our celebrant." -Laura
"Mo was recommended to us by our Funeral Directors to deliver a humanist ceremony for my Dad and she did not disappoint. Mo came to the house and listened to the stories we told about Dad and moulded them into the most perfect celebration of his life. Her attentive nature and personal service was much appreciated and yes, her comic, timing made everyone laugh, which was very important to us as a family. His send off was everything we wanted and I cannot thank or recommend Mo enough." -Trish
"Mo was just amazing, kept us both in the loop, my ceremony was brilliant, and totally unique to us. She was brilliant" -Kirstie and George
"We had our wedding at Deer Park Golf & Country club in Livingston. We were lucky enough to have Mo as our celebrant. Literally everybody on the day was raving about how the ceremony was extremely personal and well executed by Mo. Mo extracted the perfect amount of information from us and encouraged us to enable us to create the perfect ceremony. We had regular contact with Mo who worked hard with nothing too much Hassle for her. People the following day are still telling us that it was 'The best wedding/ceremony' they had ever witnessed. This aside it really was our 'perfect day' and we will be forever grateful to Mo and Fuze. We will highly recommend you to any future couples we know looking to have the best ceremony they could ever wish for. Memories created by Mo/Fuze will remain with us forever! Thank you" -Matthew & Neil Fraser-Hearne
"Our family friend Mo conducted our small family wedding ceremony and I can't explain how amazing she was, the ceremony itself was beautifully written, very personal, touching, and also funny, (she has great comedy timing) but everything else she did for us went well and above he call of duty!
She found us a great photographer, helped set up for our big day; putting up gazebos when it started to rain and tying up Pom poms when we were running out of time, Mo even loaned us a candelabra, nothing was too much bother! She had lots of great ideas and advised us well on what would work and what wouldn't! She was very sociable with everybody and all my family thought she was great! You can tell she really loves her job!!! I asked my little boy the next day who was your favourite person at the wedding? He replied 'I really liked Mo she was soooo funny' Thank you Mo x" -Claire Green
"We had a perfect wedding with Mo at Macdonald Houstoun House. Mo was fantastic all the way from our meetings to the ceremony. None of our family had been to a humanist wedding and commented on how lovely and personal it was...and they even learnt about where tying the knot comes from. For anyone getting married and looking for a personal ceremony I would definitely recommend Fuze ceremonies! Thanks again Mo!" Kayla MacKay
"No one could have captured my mother better than Mo. A funeral is a sad time but Mo’s service was both respectful and uplifting. Everyone , both young and in their 90s , was full some in their praises. Cannot recommend Mo and Fuze enough. Thank you"
