John Tonner, Celebrant

John is available to conduct Weddings, Civil Partnerships, Vow Renewals, Baby Naming & Funeral Ceremonies.

As a former soldier and police officer, John has dedicated his life to helping others. John also plays a role in helping young adults aged 12 – 18 yrs choose a path of self-belief and community spirit through work with the Army Cadet Force. As a Director with two businesses dedicated to reducing unemployment and poverty, John loves to be involved in community based projects, where he uses presentation skills to deliver training, coaching and mentoring to those struggling.

John began to take an interest in Humanism after attending a number of weddings and found great satisfaction when he too was married in a Humanist ceremony. He remembers it as a very special and beautiful occasion and he saw first-hand what a difference it makes to have a personalised ceremony for such an important celebration.

John realised he had already developed many of the skills needed and with a willingness to help others pursued his goal to become a celebrant himself. With community values at heart, John chose Fuze because of the foundations it was started from and he wanted to be a part of what it delivers for those in need.

John believes in the Humanist values, and feels couples today are deeply committed to having a ceremony which reflects them as people. He enjoys meeting people, hearing stories of their journey together, and it gives him great pleasure creating a ceremony which is personal to them and which they and their guests will remember long after the event.

John understands that it is an honour and a privilege to be able to help bereaved families and friends plan funerals for their loved ones. He knows that a Humanist ceremony allows deep sensitivity to their wishes and that the tribute does justice to the person and the life that has been.

Many parents today wish to gather their friends and family together to celebrate the naming of their baby. It is a joy to be part of this special welcoming day and John wants to be able to help parents and those chosen as guides and mentors to show their love and gratitude for the gift of having a child.

John looks forward to helping you plan a memorable, unique and personal ceremony that reflects who you are, your passions, your wishes and your journey.

John is based in West Lothian and covers Ayrshire, Edinburgh & Lothian, East Renfrewshire & Renfrewshire, Glasgow City & East/West Dunbartonshire, North & South Lanarkshire, Perthshire, Fife & Angus and Stirlingshire.

Alan Edwards, Celebrant

Alan’s two passions in life are music and communicating - skills that he has been able to beautifully marry (pardon the pun!) during his 15 year career as a radio presenter.

Alan was inspired to pursue life as a celebrant having spoken as a guest at both humanist wedding and funeral ceremonies to great acclaim from those present. It seemed the natural progression for him to adapt and refine his presentation and writing skills into creating memorable ceremonies that are unique and exclusive to each and every customer.

Alan is a warm-hearted, caring individual who will listen attentively to the needs and requests of each customer and help incorporate them into a ceremony that is perfect for them.

“The personal touch is what really makes a humanist ceremony stand out. Knowing that you’ve made a significant contribution to such an important day in people’s lives is incredibly fulfilling. My promise is to make each ceremony unique and thoroughly memorable – whether that be to share the joy in bringing two lives together in love. Or, to provide a warm and fitting tribute to a life lived to the full.”

Marriage is central to Alan’s life right now as, away from work, as he recently married the love of his life Kerry

He also loves his sport and has spent time during the last decade as a stadium announcer for both football and rugby clubs in Scotland.

Alan is based in Lanarkshire and covers Ayrshire, Edinburgh & Lothian, East Renfrewshire & Renfrewshire, Glasgow City & East/West Dunbartonshire, North & South Lanarkshire and Stirlingshire.

Sam Conroy, Celebrant

“My passion is to help others create little pieces of happiness too, both in celebrating love and celebrating life.”

What's the secret to happiness? You can find it in nature, in family, in shared history, and maybe, just maybe, you can find it here. J.M Barrie - creator of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and a thousand magical memories, said it best: 'Not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do, is the secret to happiness'

Sam's passion is to help others create little pieces of happiness too, both in celebrating love and celebrating life.

Sam is a humanist celebrant with a romantic soul, a storyteller’s spark, and a deep love for words. Sam will write and deliver ceremonies that are as unique as the people they celebrate, bespoke, magical, full of heart and authentically you. Whether it’s a wedding, vow renewal or celebration, Sam brings together laughter and love, tradition, mischief, poetry (if you want it!) and personality, lots of personality! Because your story deserves more than a script, it deserves to be felt, remembered, and joyfully told.

Sam will get to know you as a couple, your quirks, your journey, your little inside jokes and shared dreams. She will support you every step of the way, bringing fun and full-hearted energy, while keeping things relaxed yet perfectly on time. She'll calm nerves with just the right mix of humour and wise words, and she’ll get ridiculously excited with you as the big day approaches. And when it does finally arrive, Sam will be there with a steady hand, a warm smile, a personality packed ceremony, and the privilege of marrying you in a way that feels truly, wonderfully, magically you.

So while Sam doesn’t live in Neverland, rather the heart of beautiful Scotland, Mr Barrie was right. Sam don't just like what she does, she loves it and cannot wait to connect with you to plan a ceremony, a beautifully light hearted and bespoke personal ceremony, that you will treasure and remember for an entire lifetime, for all the right reasons.

Sam is based in Cumbernauld and covers Argyll & Bute, Ayrshire, Dumfries & Galloway, East Renfrewshire & Renfrewshire, Edinburgh & Lothian, Glasgow City & East /West Dunbartonshire, Inverness-shire, North & South Lanarkshire, Perthshire, Fife & Angus, Scottish Borders and Stirlingshire

Morna Kidd

Morna is available to conduct Wedding, Civil Partnership, Vow Renewal & Funeral Ceremonies.

Working in marketing within the financial services industry, Morna knows the importance of being able to tell a story, honestly, with creativity, accuracy and attention to detail.

The idea of becoming a humanist celebrant first crossed Morna’s mind after she wrote and delivered a poem at a friend’s daughters naming day in 2014. A few of the guests asked if she’d ever considered becoming a celebrant. The seed was planted, “and the rest” as they say was history.

Morna says “Choosing to enquire with Fuze was the best thing I ever did. From initial contact through training, and being accepted to join the team, it was made clear that the celebrants at Fuze are less “colleagues” and more family. It’s less of a job and more of a way of life. Always there to help and guide one another. Striving for the best for every couple and family. A team like no other.”

Anyone who knows Morna will say, she’s a passionate story teller, relaying the facts in a way that brings them to life. Making those hearing the story for the first time feel like they were there. With a keen eye for detail, and the ability to bring a light hearted humorous side to your day, her goal is to bring your vision to life.

And she’s happy to do as much or as little as you wish, whether you have no idea where to start, or you have a very specific vision of how your day will go, Morna’s job is to be there for you. Her motto is “your day, your way”. No matter the story, Morna wants to hear all about what makes yours special and turn it into a story to be told.

Morna is based in Glasgow and covers East Renfrewshire & Renfrewshire, Glasgow City & East /West Dunbartonshire and North & South Lanarkshire.
