About
I’m Gillian and I’m a fully registered Humanist Celebrant, based in Edinburgh, but I work across Scotland conducting legal wedding ceremonies.
Humanism embodies all of the values that I hold dear – those of creativity, inclusivity, empathy, progressiveness, reason and tolerance. I see my role as a Humanist celebrant as a form of creative expression and I feel privileged to be entrusted with your story. My ceremonies are warm, fun and inclusive, and I want you both to feel that for those 25 minutes or so during your ceremony, that you can relax and feel that it's in safe hands.
A ceremony which honours exactly who people are, filled with the best anecdotes, memories and unique flourishes is the best way to celebrate any major life milestone. Do you want your ceremony to include a handfasting or colourful sand ceremony? Or your ceremony conducted atop a mountain or in the middle of a hedge maze? I am always up for anything a bit quirky and open to ideas!
If you connect with any of this and feel that I would be a good match for your ceremony, then I’d love to hear from you!
Yours, aye

Reviews for Gillian Monaghan, Scottish Humanist Celebrant
No shoes… no problem!
She also deserves an award for her commitment to the job. Just before our ceremony, her shoes broke… and she simply took it in her stride, giving everyone a good laugh. Then, because apparently broken shoes weren’t enough, we were hit with a lovely Scottish downpour and a hooley of a wind, whilst Gillian battled to save our paperwork from blowing away and getting soaked 😂
Despite the weather trying its absolute best to sabotage the end of our ceremony, Gillian remained calm, hilarious and completely professional throughout. She was so much fun to have there and really helped make the ceremony one of our favourite parts of the day.
We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Perhaps bring a spare pair of shoes and a waterproof folder in future! 😂❤️
Friendly, upbeat, funny and dedicated!
And we definitely have to mention how dedicated you are to your story telling, it really shows in the photos.
Amazing ceremony
We loved it, it was exactly how we wanted our ceremony to be.
Lucky to have had Gillian as part of our day
She took the time to really understand us and somehow turned our story into the most beautiful words, shared so thoughtfully with our friends and family. The ceremony felt personal, meaningful, and full of warmth and laughter, which was exactly what we wanted.
So many people commented on how brilliant the ceremony was, and that is entirely down to Gillian. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our day.
Fabulous celebrant
Would thoroughly recommend!!
Gill was the perfect part of a perfect day!
You will love Gillian!
