About

Linda would love to get to know you both and to hear about your hopes and dreams for your ceremony - and then (ideally) to surpass them!

As a co-founder of Agnostic Scotland, Linda built an organisation founded on principles of inclusion, environmentalism, and integrity. Through Agnostic Scotland, she can conduct legal wedding ceremonies throughout Scotland. She mentors new celebrants and has literally (co)written the book on celebrancy for Agnostic Scotland trainees.

The best place to find reviews is on Linda's Google business page (just search for Linda Keys, Celebrant). The recurring themes there are that the couples Linda works with feel they know her well and feel in really safe hands. The ceremonies she offers are deeply pesonal and reflect the individuality of each couple in form and tone as well as content. She is described as warm, creative, welcoming, and a really good listener.

Linda is unusual in that she caps her wedding ceremonies (at around twenty each year) so that she can offer each couple a dedicated and heart-centred approach. As a result, she cares deeply about every couple she works with and truly finds the magic in every ceremony. Your wedding ceremony will be an extraordinary moment in your lives; Linda will join you in finding the awe and wonder of the moment!

"Linda Keys is an inclusive, kind, creative celebrant and co-founder of Agnostic Scotland, offering legal wedding ceremonies and civil partnerships as well as funerals and other life ceremonies. Linda's practice is driven by her values and fuelled by real connection with the couples, families, and communities she works with. Trans-inclusive, feminist, LGBTQ+-affirming, neuro-diverse and pro-disability affirming."

If you would like to work with an inclusive celebrant who will treat your ceremony as the precious thing it is, please get in touch. I'd love to hear from you.

The perfect wedding celebrant!

We’re so glad that we found Linda to act as celebrant for our wedding! From our first Zoom call, her friendliness and open-heartedness immediately put us at our ease. She talked us through all the ins and outs of the process and made us feel really heard as we told her the story of our relationship so far. We were particularly struck by how easy she made it to share the goofy and silly details of our relationship in addition to the more romantic and serious ones.

We loved completing the questionnaires she sent through to help give her a fuller picture of our connection. The questions were so carefully thought-out and gave us every opportunity to explain in detail exactly what we love about each other. (And by the end of answering them, we felt like we’d fallen in love with each other a little all over again.) On the run-up to the wedding (amid the chaos of table planning, transport arranging and stationery selecting…) our meetings with Linda offered some much-needed calm and clarity. What’s more, on the night before, she even took the time to send us an excited and comforting message that all was in order on her end.

On the day itself, she couldn’t have been more reassuring, emphasising that although the wedding was a momentous occasion, we were surrounded by people who loved us and it didn’t matter at all if things didn’t quite go to plan – if we stumbled over our words or found ourselves standing in not quite the right spot. (A particularly jittery Simon was very grateful to hear this as the guests began filing in and things started getting real!) Her kindness, expertise and lightness of touch shone throughout the ceremony – even guests we’d previously known to be emotionless blocks of stone were reduced to tears! Her spoken parts were so well-worded, striking the perfect balance between funny and meaningful. We’re so grateful that she left us with a beautifully presented physical copy of her script in addition to the other readings.

Linda brought so much light, magic, and attention to each stage of planning our ceremony – in short, we can’t recommend her highly enough!

Truly exceptional celebrant, who really connected with us and our guests

Linda recently led the celebrations at our wedding at Kinkell Byre, near St Andrews, Fife. We knew from the Fife grapevine that she was a celebrant, and when reading her web page we were immediately struck with how open, accepting and positive she sounded. Emails were exchanged and we set up a Zoom call to discuss what we were looking for. Our first impressions had been correct. We happily chatted for an hour and we were confident that Linda would do a brilliant job.

Every step of the process was shared with us and it was reassuring to have Linda guide us through the ceremony to ensure it reflected our shared beliefs and values. Writing our own vows and sharing our story with Linda allowed the occasion to be individual, unique and full of joy. So many of our guests commented on what an amazing wedding it was, how the service really captured who we are as a couple and the importance of our wider friends and family. 'Warmth', 'kindness', 'joyful', 'individual', 'sincere', 'personal to you' were just some of the words used by our guests.
Linda's calm, confident capability meant we knew we could trust her with this most special of days. She was so caring and understanding to ensure that everyone knew what they were doing during the ceremony and that everyone felt comfortable.

Following the service, Linda gave us a beautifully presented folder with the ceremony printed out in full. Reading over it the following morning, over breakfast, was a magical way to relive the day and is a gift for us to cherish for the future.

Every interaction we had with Linda - email, Zoom call, meeting at a cafe to chat things over - left a strong positive impression and we felt like she really got to know us, both as a couple and as individuals. Her eloquence and delivery of the ceremony was beautifully done. It was a truly perfect day and if we could give her more than 5 stars, we would!

Wonderful celebrant who is amazing

If we could give Linda 1000 stars we would, what a wonderful human being and outstanding celebrant.

Her humanity is such wonderful presence to be in and really speaks to the ethos of the Agnostic Scotland mission and principles, this open hearted and minded approach was just what we were looking for in our celebrant for our wedding.

Linda put us at ease from the first zoom call and curated our thoughts and ideas into the most magical day, with a beautiful blend of charm, poignancy and humour. She created exactly the right atmosphere for us and our guests to celebrate our big day.

Many of our guests commented on how heartfelt and moving the ceremony was and that was in no small part down to Linda's skills of weaving together our information into a story to remember.

Thank you so much you absolutely made our day. Nics & Krissy

Incredible celebrant!

Genuinely the most perfect and ideal celebrant we could have picked. From the first interaction all the way until we we were on our honeymoon, Linda was incredible. Our ceremony was so incredibly personalised, our story was told beautifully and we truly couldn't have wished for more.

Even when issues came out well beyond Linda's remit, she stepped in to help in any way she could. Our 2nd witness flaked on attending the wedding and at the last minute Linda ask her sister-in-law to help us, which she graciously did.

Couldn't be more grateful, thank you so much!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
