    Jean was very friendly and we had fun chatting through our plans when we met up. She picked up on all the points we discussed and kept us right. On the day she fitted in perfectly with the relaxed, friendly atmosphere and was very helpful and accommodating.

    June 2026 Wedding

    We had attended a wedding where Jean had conducted the ceremony a few years before getting engaged. As soon as we had booked our venue we reached out to Jean to confirm her availability as we couldn’t imagine anyone else conducting our ceremony!
    Jean was very responsive to emails and met with us initially before we confirmed our booking to get a rough idea of what we wanted in our ceremony. Jean also kept us right with all the documentation and important dates to give notice to legally marry in Scotland. We then met again with her a few months before our wedding to start shaping our ceremony. Jean had so much time for us and met with us for well over an hour to learn all about our relationship and details that were important to us to be included.
    Jean had us laughing and crying (with so many personal touches throughout the ceremony). Our ceremony was really the best part of our day and so many of our guests commented that it was the best ceremony they’d ever attended, partly because it was so personal and that’s all down to Jean’s utmost care and attention to detail. We would recommend Jean to anyone planning their wedding.

    Thank you so so much Jean!

    Andy & Laura

    We cannot recommend Jean Steele highly enough.

    From the moment we got in touch to plan our wedding at Teasses Estate, Fife, Jean was incredibly informative and kept us right every step of the way. She walked us through the entire process and paperwork needed for the marriage schedule, right down to the specific registrar requirements for our venue — all explained so clearly that it took so much stress out of the run-up to the big day.

    In the meetings leading up to the wedding, Jean took real time to get to know Laura and me — our relationship, our families, what mattered to us — and handled everything we shared with such care. She wove it all into a ceremony script that was genuinely beautiful and unmistakably ours.

    On the day itself, September 5th, Jean was warm and welcoming from the first moment — I was a nervous groom, and she put me completely at ease with a hug and a smile before we'd even started. She then delivered the ceremony with so much thought and emotion, making that part of the day truly special.

    If you're getting married and looking for a celebrant, look no further than Jean. Thank you, Jean, for making our day so special

    Jean Steele Humanist Celebrant's reply:

    Thank you SOOO much for this amazing review Andy. I have to say, it was a real pleasure to be asked to be a part of your wedding day. You and Laura were really lovely to work with, so caring, fun and so obviously in love with each other and the life and family you are building together. Thank you both again for letting me be a be a part of your wonderful day. Wishing you all the very best, Jean

    Thank you Jean x

    Jean was amazing start to finish. Such a kind and thoughtful humanist who helped ease our wedding nerves! The ceremony she planned for us included everything we asked for and can tell it was made with a lot of care and attention to get it exactly right for me and my husband. Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much Jean. Danielle and Gavin xx

    Jean is the best!

    Our amazing day felt very much like a fairytale and none of it could have happened without Jean’s support and care. We loved how much Jean captured our love story and made it so super personal to both of us. All of our guests commented and said how beautiful the ceremony was. And the ceremony was just my absolute favourite part (even though that's what I was most nervous for!). So thank you so much for your vital role in our special day, it will always be a day to be remembered!

    Jean Steele Humanist Celebrant's reply:

    Aww Eilidh! Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure meeting you both, hearing your journey together to the point of saying 'I Do' and seeing you both walk down the aisle together! It was such a lovely day spent with you all. Thank you for being such a lovely couple to work with and thank you for trusting me with your ceremony! Congratulations again and love, laughter and happiness to you both as you head into your future fun and adventures together!

    Fantastic service by Jean!

    Jean was so fantastic to work with! She made our ceremony so perfect and special and it all ran incredibly smoothly - a true professional! Would highly recommend.

    She took the time to learn about our story together as a couple and gave us plenty of time to go through the order of service to give feedback. Everyone said how special and lovely the ceremony was.

    Lois and Mike

    Jean was so friendly and put us completely at ease throughout the whole process of creating our ceremony. She provided very clear information, which made navigating all the paperwork much easier as well. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautifully written and personal the ceremony was. She was absolutely amazing!

    Jean Steele Humanist Celebrant's reply:

    Thank you so much Lois and Mike. It was an absolute pleasure and an honour being part of your beautiful wedding day. I loved writing your ceremony, there were so many great moments in your journey together, so thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful day. I know you’ll have many, many happy years together. Thank you for this great review. Very best wishes to you, Jean

    Lovely Ceremony

    Jean performed a wonderful ceremony for us. It was very warm and full of personal stories. Multiple guests commented to us on how it was such a lovely speech. She was helpful and fun throughout the planning process and worked with us to create the ceremony that was just to our taste.
    We would highly recommend Jean for your wedding.

    Jean Steele Humanist Celebrant's reply:

    Andrew thank you for leaving such a great review! It was a pleasure and a joy meeting with you both to plan your ceremony- hearing how you met and your journey together, to hearing you both say “I do” on your beautiful wedding day! There were lots of smiles, quite a few laughs and possibly a few happy tears! Thank you for letting me be a part of such a special day, and thank you again for this lovely review!
    Love laughter and happiness to you both, Jean

    Scott and Hannah Oct 2025

    Jean created an amazing ceremony for us, that captured all the things that mattered to us and had a few good laughs in there! Jean spent time talking to us and getting to know us, so to better tailor the ceremony to our liking, and was happy to redraft sections. We couldn't recommend Jean more - book now!!

    Jean Steele Humanist Celebrant's reply:

    Thank you so much for this great review Scott!
    It was a real pleasure getting to know you both and a real privilege conducting your beautiful ceremony for you! Thank you for being so lovely to work with, for the challenges of interspersing Dr Who quotes in the ceremony, and the fun and laughs that went with it all! It really was a joy to be there! Thank you both so much again!

    Jean was amazing!

    Jean was truly wonderful from start to finish! She’s such a kind, genuine and supportive person, and she made the whole experience feel easy and personal. We loved meeting up with her for a coffee to chat through the ceremony, and she helped us create a script that felt completely us. We honestly couldn’t imagine anyone else leading our ceremony - it was such a joy to have her there on the day. We’d recommend Jean to absolutely anyone! Thank you so much!

    Jean Steele Humanist Celebrant's reply:

    Thank you so much for this great review Leigh. It was so lovely to be a part of your beautiful wedding day, and so lovely to work with you both on your ceremony, it really was so lovely and such fun.
    I'm so glad you were happy with everything. It was a joy to see you both so happy on the day and to help you tie that knot! Thank you again for this fab review! Jean
