Tegan Elder Humanist Celebrant

Tegan Elder Humanist Celebrant I am a Humanist celebrant with the Modern Humanist Collective. I conduct legal weddings, naming days and funerals. Being a celebrant is the most rewarding role.

My style is upbeat, personal, fun-loving and joyful 😁 I am a Scottish Humanist Celebrant and a founding member of the Modern Humanist Collective. Our belief body (MHC) is rooted by inclusion, equality, compassion, and kindness. Here to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with warmth, connection and authenticity. As an MHC celebrant, I am -

- Registered with the General Register of Scotland t

o perform legal Humanist marriages.
- Will create a bespoke marriage ceremony that is personal and meaningful.
- Disclosure checked, fully trained, insured and licensed.
- Trained in symbolic gestures for weddings such as handfasting, tree planting, sand ceremony and many more. More about me -

When my husband and I were planning our own wedding, we were looking for a
ceremony that would capture our personalities and would provide us with the
flexibility to be creative. We chose a humanist ceremony, and we were inspired by
how unique and personal the experience was, and our guests loved it! This was the spark that encouraged me to find out more about humanism and I felt a
connection to the humanist philosophy, so I trained as a celebrant in 2017. With a background of working with children and families, I have continued to use my
caring nature and creative flare in ensuring that I deliver thoughtful ceremonies. It is always an honour to be asked to
bring families together as we celebrate life’s milestones. By delivering personalised Humanist ceremonies, I can encourage couples and
families to share their right to freedom of thought, speech, and expression. I take huge pride in my work, and I am humbled to be asked to be the voice, whether
it is to welcome new life into the world with a naming ceremony, marrying couples in
all kinds of wonderful locations over Scotland, and at celebration of life funerals. When I am not super busy as a celebrant, I try to embrace life, especially with my
own little family, creating memories, and having fun – kitchen discos with a glass of
fizz in my hand is a firm favourite! My favourite motto is, ‘Love the life you live. Live the life you love’ – Bob Marley. I am based in Dundee and happy to travel to all areas of Tayside, Angus, Perthshire,
and Fife to assist you in celebrating your life moments.

29th of December - Balbirnie

Huge congratulations to Emilee and Steven!

My last ceremony of 2024 and it was a cracker 🥰

Balbirnie was still looking lovely and festive with a gorgeous Christmas tree in the Long Gallery.

We started with a little guest selfie before the beautiful bride was piped in 🎶

Their ceremony included Emilee’s gran sharing a great little ditty that she had written, a Celtic blessing to go with their Scottish handfast, revealing their 3 secret reasons🥹, and their super cute pup Oscar as the ring bearer 🐶

Such a heart warming day to be apart of and a brilliant finish to another wonderful year.
Thank you for trusting me with your ceremony 💝

Huge congratulations to Kevan and Elaine!

For November, it was a surprisingly warm day. Kevan and Elaine had lovely Scottish touches to celebrate St Andrews day, and also little festive details perfect for the changing season.

They were both looking wonderful and even had their fur baby Zico looking adorable in a wee kilt.

Kevan and Elaine chose to commit to their future with a traditional Scottish handfast, and after tying the knot, they exchanged rings and legal vows.

Such a brilliant couple and a total pleasure to be part of their day.
Thank you for trusting me with your ceremony 💝

Huge congratulations to Steph and Andrew!!

The scene was set with so many thoughtful details including the stunning focal point, a giant moon! Very apt!

I loved getting to know this pair, and it was a privilege to be able to share some of their journey highlights starting with an eye catching green dress, first dates, loads of holidays and a gorgeous proposal at the Enchanted Forest 💍

Steph and Andrew confirmed their future together with a traditional tying of the knot 🪢.
They also shared a drop of whiskey from the Quaich to celebrate their marriage.

With family incredible important to them, they gifted their mums with a thoughtful gift as a huge thank you.

What a wonderful, fun, and loving day to be part of.

Huge congratulations to Amy and Jay!!

What a beautiful day for such a lovely couple 🥰 So many thoughtful and personal details.

They were both pretty chilled and embraced their big day, starting with Jay walking his mum down the aisle, then of course a wow moment when Amy entered 🥹

I loved sharing their story highlights from their mini golf first date, finding the perfect home on their favourite street, to their New York engagement 💍

Amy and Jay composed their own personal vows which they confirmed with a traditional Scottish handfast.

A fabulous day to be part of 🤩

8th of November - Woodlands Hotel

Huge congratulations to Sean and Danielle!!

These two sweethearts were both feeling the nerves of their big day but it all came together for a beautiful celebration.

I loved sharing some of the highlights from the last 7 years and reading the Robert Fulghum poem, Union, as Sean and Danielle could relate to the words and sentiment.

With a Celtic Scottish handfast, Sean and Danielle made promises to their future before tying the knot 🪢

The wedding rings were brought forward on a cushion by the page boy and it was my absolute pleasure to pronounce them as husband and wife.

What a heartwarming day to be part of.

2nd of November - Huntingtower Hotel

Huge congratulations to Suzanne and Colin!!

This wedding was truly a celebration of family. Suzanne and Colin have the most loveliest kids who played a big role throughout.

The ceremony was a great mix of emotion and giggles.
I had 15 years of journey highlights to share, their friend read the gorgeous Ms Moem poem, here’s to right now, and their song choices reflected their lost loved ones favourite songs 🥹

It was a pleasure to bring the four of them together with a family handfast which included some beautiful promises 🪢

The newlyweds also made a toast to their future with a traditional nip of whiskey sipped from the Quaich.

What a joy to get to know more about this wonderful family 🥰

1st of November - Piperdam

Huge congratulations to Alison and Calum!!

What an absolute joy getting to know these two 😁 So much fun and so many stories!!

Alison’s entrance nearly tipped me over the edge 🥹. She came down the aisle with her brother, then they stopped to ask her step dad to join them. It was such a touching moment and definitely a proud moment 🥰

I had great fun sharing highlights of their journey together. Then I had the pleasure of sharing their secret 3 reasons which were hilarious 🤣

Family is life for these two so it was important to include their son, and Reuben did a fantastic job bringing the wedding rings forward 💍

A great couple to have the pleasure of marrying.
Thank you for trusting me with your ceremony 💝

📸PHOTO SHARE📸

On such a wet and wild day, I thought this would be the perfect moment to share these dreaming images of Hayley and Ben’s ceremony, lovingly capturing by

Looking at these pictures, you would think it was a summer wedding, but in fact it was early October!

The late afternoon sunshine gave a beautiful glow as the guests looked out towards the river Tay from the Birkhill Castle grounds.

I loved so much about this special day, from Hayley’s dress, shoes, and accessories, to their hand written personal vows, the pretty infinity knot, to the scenic backdrop and dulcet tones from the string quartet.

Thank you Amber for sharing your gorgeous photos 🤩

A wonderful celebration to be part of 🥰
