About Us
How We Met
Inspired by the comfort and dignity shown to my family following the loss of my dad in early 2020, I felt the upmost admiration for our humanist celebrant. Echoed later again, but within the glorious celebration of my friends wedding, I was introduced to Anna as she elegantly conducted the humorous yet heartfelt service.
Our paths crossed again a few months later, where Anna facilitated training that I attended with CHA to become a celebrant.
Instantaneously agreeing this was no "chance" meeting, we were destined to collaborate and from there "celebrant good times, together" was created.
Anna Chapman
My working background has been varied - admin/clerical. hospitality and elderly care. All front- facing, customer focussed roles.
You could say that I am a bit of a late bloomer, I studied with the Open University and gained a Bachelor of Science Degree in 2019.
Some years ago I took a leap of faith and became a Celebrant with the Caledonian Humanist Association. I am authorised to conduct Naming Ceremonies, Funerals, and Legal Marriages. Somewhat late in life I discovered the joys of being privileged enough to be called to conduct services to mark those special journeys in life, the happiest times, and the more difficult times. I have recently reached the age of retirement. However, I have no intention of stopping what I am doing - being a Celebrant is a gift, and I shall never loose that sense of pride in what I do.

Being a celebrant is joyful, powerful and rewarding. Training at the youthful age of 30 with the Caledonian Humanist Association allowed me to grow as a person; it gave me insight into life and death, love and grief, rituals and roles and so much more.
Working full time since leaving school and studying part-time throughout my 20's I achieved my BSc Honours in Psychology and MSc in Mental Health with Psychological Practices. These studies alongside my front-facing career in the public sector has given the opportunity to understand the importance of versatility and individuality with compassion. I respectfully promise to go above and beyond, to present a calm and empathetic ceremony that is fitting with your requests..
