Training to become a Humanist Celebrant has been a joy and exciting for Sue! Her decision to train was based on the fact that being a Celebrant encompasses everything she enjoys , is good at , and she feels it is a fantastic opportunity and privilege to be able to help create and be part of such important occasions. Sue has a number of interests , the most recent being joining a Community Choir and playing the Ukulele !!

Being a mother of 3 Adult sons and married for over 35 years Sue feels her family values and experience enable her to have some insight and understanding into what works for people and their families.

Sues main career over the last 30 years has been in Social Care working as a Practitioner and subsequent Manager in Charity organisations and also for the Local Authority. This involved supporting some very vulnerable children and their families. As such Sue has developed the skills to build positive relationships with families and her colleagues.

Using her abilities to engage with people in a warm and sensitive way she is able to get the best out of people and situations with an easy going and non-intrusive approach. Most of all she is known for her sense of humour and fun which is always good in some measure in every circumstance whether it be a celebration or in more difficult and challenging times with the loss of a loved one.

Katy Smith

“Your loved one was an individual and I want to celebrate that unique life in that unique way they lived . You are perhaps looking for a ceremony with active participation from your family filled with laughter at the fun times and memorable moments. You may, on the other hand, just be looking for a quiet and dignified send off. It is your ceremony, your way."

Katy is available to conduct Weddings, Renewal of Vow, Baby Naming and Funeral Ceremonies.

Meeting all sorts of people has always intrigued Katy.

Katy started life as a language’s teacher over 26 years ago. She currently works with vulnerable and traumatised young people, who find mainstream education challenging. Working with, both them and their families to build back trust and help them realise their full potential is enormously rewarding to Katy.

Out with that, Katy is more often than not, to be found wandering in the hills or, ensconcing herself in the local coffee shop with her favourite book, Jane Eyre.

Zoe Bell-Arnot

Zoe is available to conduct Weddings, Civil Partnerships, Vow Renewals, Baby Naming and Funeral Ceremonies

Zoe started her business when she was 18 years old. After competing from an early age and being lucky enough to realise her ambition as a dancer she wanted to pass on her knowledge to others. With a passion for dance and teaching, she began her first dance school with 14 students. Over 27 years her talented students and her drive for them to be the best that they could be amassed to around 460 students and 3 schools within Glasgow. Annual performances were held in venues across Glasgow, including the Clyde Auditorium and the Theatre Royal. With her drive and love of dance, she earned 14 diplomas in her dance career with distinctions which led her to become an adjudicator and lecturer.

In the latter part of her career Zoe wanted her local community to gain from movement and dance and set up her own studio. Over a period of 5 years, she held weekly classes for those who were living with dementia, receiving treatment post/pre-surgery, and for people who were living with chronic pain to help aid their recovery or simply to be able to meet with others and share their experiences which in turn helped with their overall wellbeing. Another great opportunity arose 2 years ago to create specialised dance classes for East Dunbartonshire Carers Link, a funded initiative that allows carers to have a little respite which operated a weekly basis.

After experiencing the loss of loved ones and friends Zoe decided to begin her journey to qualify as a celebrant as she believed that the most important aspect of the service is the people involved and their story. Whether this was to celebrate their life story, a new life, or a joining of two lives together.

In September 2023 Zoe joined a fantastic local whisky distillery as a tour ambassador to enable her to become comfortable in a speaking role. She meets so many people from different walks of life, ages, and nationalities and now relays stories and historical facts on a weekly basis. This new love came as a surprise, who knew that the whisky industry was so complex and enthralling?

Zoe’s other loves are her husband, 2 teenage children and her bearded collie Clyde. She loves to travel to see and experience different places and cultures that the world has to offer with her family when she can, and her hobbies are beekeeping, swimming, and reading.

Zoe loves to hear stories of other people's lives and wishes to capture the essence of this and reiterate it to their loved ones and friends. She feels extremely lucky to be in a position to be able to do this and also very privileged to be part of other people’s special days.

Zoe is based in Glasgow and covers Ayrshire, East Renfrewshire & Renfrewshire, Edinburgh & Lothian, Glasgow City & East /West Dunbartonshire and Stirlingshire.

Christine is based in Renfrewshire and covers Argyll & Bute, Ayrshire, East Renfrewshire & Renfrewshire, Glasgow City & East /West Dunbartonshire, and North & South Lanarkshire

Christine would love to be able to guide and support you through those memorable days and times of your life. It doesn’t matter what those may be – a wedding, naming day or saying goodbye to someone you have loved– she will be there to help you process your thoughts and create a celebration that is both empathetic and reflects you, your personality and your values.

As a primary school teacher in her local community for 25 years, Christine thrives on getting to know people and bringing the best out of them. She believes in equality and supports people in their drive to equal opportunities for themselves and others. At the same time, Christine celebrates diversity, and all of this is what motivated her to become a Humanist Celebrant. She just enjoys being around people and listening to their stories.

Personally, Christine enjoys travelling, cooking/eating, and is always looking for a challenge. A couple of years ago, she walked the Northumberland Coastal Path to celebrate a “big” birthday.

Christine is a country girl at heart. She grew up in the Ayrshire countryside and now lives on a farm in Renfrewshire with her husband and two teenage children. She can be found there normally chasing the dog around the garden, trying to retrieve something it shouldn’t really have.

Morag Webster, Celebrant & Fuze Ceremonies Director

"I enjoy meeting people, hearing their stories and creating a personal ceremony that they truly want. I feel privileged to conduct any kind of Humanist Ceremony".

As a Director Morag is busy running Fuze, but she is always happy to consider requests to conduct any ceremonies in and around the Falkirk area.

Morag became interested in Humanism through a growing desire to discover a positive, rational philosophy for life.

Her interest was first aroused by attending several humanist ceremonies as a guest. She was struck by the many vivid ways with which people were able to celebrate life’s major milestones and share the human values which had brought together so many people.

Above all, she felt they were personal, authentic and memorable events.

Morag is someone who enjoys meeting people and has a genuine interest in helping them. Looking to combine both her skills and her interest in people, Morag decided to take a new direction in her life in 2012 and joined Anne at Fuze. She has never looked back and has been very busy ever since conducting marriage, baby naming and funeral ceremonies, as well as supporting the team & looking after Fuze.

Morag is based in Falkirk and covers Stirlingshire.

You can contact Morag on morag@fuzeceremonies.co.uk
