Humanist Fellowship of Scotland (Laura Baird, Humanist Celebrant Scottish Borders)

There are so many lovely words I could say about Laura. She has been the greatest celebrant throughout, she was flexible with date changes due to Covid, she was supportive and told us everything we needed to know. She made everything clear for us and was able to talk through the guidelines in place just now. She double checked the ceremony details with us to make sure we were happy with it, even triple checked. This is all on a professional level, I rate her highly. Now as a person she really is just so lovely, she has a warmth about her so makes you comfortable to do and say whatever you need to. She is sweet and caring and is a nice smiley person. I could not rate Laura enough. Highly recommended from Mr & Mrs Blake!

Laura, you really were the perfect person for our elopement ceremony. You patiently listened to us and gently guided us through the preparation for our special day. You kindly tailored a beautiful ceremony that reflected us as a couple. We felt reassured beforehand and you were such a calming influence on the day. We cant thank you enough. You naturally made our day special and allowed us to enjoy every moment without any stress. Thankyou so much for being part of our day. We are very grateful to you.

Laura helped us create a truly memorable ceremony that was so personal to us and a reflection of us as a couple. She spoke with such warmth and sincerity.Laura was brilliant from start to finish with regards to preparations for the ceremony, she kept us well informed of everything we needed to do and was always very flexible with our slightly hectic family life. We can not recommend Laura highly enough. Thank you Laura, we are so pleased you were part of our special day.

Laura is amazing! From start to finish her help and guidance was second to none. Our ceremony she delivered was really lovely, and we couldn’t have asked for better.Thank you Laura, from both Jack and I, for what was a truly special ceremony and one we won’t forget!

Laura was amazing and we had the most perfect day because of it. Initially we had opted to go to the registry office but our minds soon changed when we met Laura. She made the once daunting experience feel calm and personal and it was great chatting through all the lovely ideas she/we had for the ceremony. We could not have picked a more perfect person to lead our ceremony....thank you, Laura, you made our day the most wonderful day of our lives :)

Laura was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and we could not recommend her enough. We were trying to organise our ceremony very quickly and we had no idea of the process or where to start. Laura made the process an easy and enjoyable one and was so patient through all of our many questions. She completely customised our experience to reflect the uniqueness of our relationship. She was the ultimate professional whilst always being there as a hand to hold. She gave the ultimate insight into the best of all the ceremonies she has worked on, what went well, what to avoid - she is truly a wedding whisperer. Made us feel completely at ease and looked after, Laura guided us through all the things we might want to do, ideas to reflect our values, different beliefs and even incorporating our favourite songs into our unique vows.. I am not normally one to leave reviews but I genuinely could not have been more happy with the experience of working with Laura and would not hesitate to recommend her to everyone we know looking to tie the knot.

I can't thank you enough for being a part of our day. You told old our story so beautifully and was perfect for us and our little family. Getting married during a pandemic was daunting but you kept in regular contact with us and ensured we understood the regulations/restrictions along way. Having our friend being a part of the ceremony made it even more personal too. You went above and beyond for us Laura and I will be forever grateful. No words can be used to say thank you!The Clarke Family x

Laura is amazing, gentle, patient, kind and did I say patient? I know I did but once wasn’t enough! Laura was oh so patient when we wanted a very simple elopement ceremony. She made suggestions and added in little touches that she had picked up from us in conversation! On the day Laura was calm and so organised and our ceremony was everything we wanted and so much more. If we had to go back and do it all again we wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Laura for all of your kindness

Laura was absolutely exceptional and has given us the wedding ceremony of our dreams! She was so supportive and organised, especially helping us with a wedding during covid. In the lead up to the wedding Laura kept us very calm and happy and always made sure we were okay. On the wedding day the ceremony was filled with love and laughter and everyone had a great time! Thankyou so much Laura from the bottom of our hearts! The Vernel's
