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

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

Hazel first became aware of humanist ceremonies when she attended the funeral of a close friend. She was immediately struck with how personalised and uplifting the service was, and she decided to learn more about humanism.

This background brings with it an ability to listen empathetically, great communication skills, diplomacy, attention to detail, and quick thinking!
