A ceremony that is distinctly you, joyful, fresh and inclusive, all underpinned by belief in tolerance, compassion and equality for all. Sound good? I'd love to be your celebrant!

Hello! I’m Sarah M Wills (she/her). My style is light-hearted, relaxed, warm and sincere, with gravitas at the right moments. I'm authorised to conduct legal marriage and civil partnership in Scotland. I also conduct funerals, naming, renaming/welcoming ceremonies, non-legal wedding celebrations, vow renewals and more. I’m part of a group of like-minded folk called Celebrate People, a spiritual and pastoral care organisation with a humanist ethos.​

 

I am passionate about:

​

• The weird and wonderful things that bring our hearts joy.  I delight in finding ways to weave what matters to you into your ceremony.

• Equality and inclusivity. This is why was I drawn to Celebrate People whose whole ethos is based on this. I strive to create spaces for love to shine and where folks feel comfortable to be themselves.

• The fundamental importance of love, acceptance, connection and the freedom to live life your way.

I will let you into a wee secret, the best and most memorable ceremonies are so because of the folks at the centre. That is to say, it's not actually about me! If I've done my job well (I'm told I do!) then what will be remembered will be your stories and how your ceremony made you feel.

 

I am here to listen to you and support you, giving you guidance and ideas when you need them and linking with key folks to help your ceremony run smoothly. I'll be a steady, safe pair of hands throughout. 

I love being a celebrant! It's the connection with others that I value the most.  Learning about who you are and what is important to you is at the core everything I do. There is nothing as satisfying, or that fills my heart more, than to help to bring your words, values and vision together; for you to feel seen, heard and celebrated for exactly who you are. 

A wee bit more about me:
I’ve worked for many years in listening and supportive roles, including with children,
young people and adults, with a variety of life experiences. This has taught me so
much and really shaped how I want to be in the world. The skills and qualities I've gained –listening (beyond simply your words), empathy, warmth and genuine interest in others - align well with celebrancy too!
 

I LOVE dogs, crisp autumn days, punk rock, forests, adventures, gigs, beaches, coffee, a sprinkle of whimsy…and dinosaurs. It’s my pleasure to be here!
