Hello! I'm absolutely delighted to be doing what I love—working as a wedding celebrant. Now in my eighth year, I've had the joy of helping many wonderful couples celebrate one of life's most special milestones. Every couple, every story, and every ceremony is unique—and I consider it a real privilege to be part of that journey.

Warm, friendly, and always up for a laugh, I bring a relaxed yet professional energy to every ceremony. I believe a wedding should be joyful, heartfelt, and, most importantly—a true reflection of the couple at the heart of it. Whether you're dreaming of something light-hearted and fun or something more traditional and romantic, I'll work closely with you to create a ceremony that feels just right.

Getting to know you is one of the best parts of my job. I love hearing about how you met, the adventures you've shared, and what's brought you to this moment. Your story is the inspiration behind the ceremony I write—crafted with care, personality, and meaning.

I'm proud to be inclusive and LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome all couples with open arms. Before you decide to book, I'm always happy to meet for a friendly, no-pressure chat so you can get a feel for how I work.

If we do go ahead together, I'll guide you through the legal requirements and send over plenty of inspiration—from traditional elements to unique symbolic touches like handfasting, the quaich, ring warming, and more. We'll meet about six months before your wedding to shape your ceremony, allowing plenty of time for tweaks along the way.

I'm prompt with communication, happy to answer any questions, and on the big day itself, I'll be there well in advance to connect with your team of suppliers, welcome your guests, and help everything run smoothly.
It's your day, your way—and I'm here to help make it memorable, meaningful, and full of joy.

Jean Steele Humanist Celebrant is a wedding celebrant based in Lothian & Borders, Lothian & Borders.
