Lets work together to plan your event!
About me
My name is John and I’m a celebrant based in Perth, Scotland. I offer a unique and personal touch when it comes to arranging funerals, memorials, weddings and naming ceremonies.
I have spent most of my adult life working in the charity sector in the UK and abroad. From developing and championing hospice care in Moldova and Romania, to youth employment project management for the Prince’s Trust in Greece, to leading a fundraising team for Scotland’s leading HIV charity in Edinburgh, helping and empowering the community has always been at the forefront of my values and actions. Travel is my passion and I am available to conduct ceremonies all over Scotland, and across the globe.
During my career, I have hosted and spoken at international and national events, organised both faith-based and non-faith-based services and I received the British Empire Medal in Queen Elizabeth II’s Birthday Honours List in 2014 for services to charitable work and the community.
My roles have always been people-focused and all these experiences help me in my role as a celebrant. I offer bespoke custom-made ceremonies and I would be delighted to work with you.
I welcome the opportunity to work with everyone and do not discriminate on any grounds. I believe in fairness and equality for all and will happily discuss this with you at the point of your enquiry. My promise is that I will treat you with respect in everything that I do.
