Ceremonies by Diane

Ceremonies by Diane Life is full of big moments. Some filled with love and laughter others with reflection and rememberance. Hello, I’m Diane and I live in Perthshire. Diane

As an experienced Community & Family based Celebrant in Perthshire I create and lead ceremonies that reflect your unique stories, values and emotions. I love it here, the mountains, hills and forests brings a sense of being guarded by nature. I’ve lived in Cities and I love the buzz whenever I return. I’m also a mum, a nana and a happily committed partner to Graham. And an incurable optimist. But above all, I love people. That’s what makes it so special to be a Celebrant with Humanist Society Scotland. My background was in the NHS, Public Health, Education & Communities - connecting with people was the job! Being happy and bringing happiness to others is key to my existence. I’m eternally grateful for everyone who’s entered my life, lent a hand or shared emotional space, love, kindness, compassion, wisdom, or simply friendship. As your celebrant, I understandably want to know about you to help you celebrate the important times in your life. Your stories will help shape your ceremony that I will create with you. The essential ingredients that give it context and makes it truly meaningful. So let me hear your stories. That way, I can offer support, personal advice and guidance, and provide a modern, memorable, ceremony that perfectly reflects you as a couple, family or individual. Whenever and wherever you’d like me to come and conduct your ceremony. If you have a questions or want to find out more then drop me an email diane.mcleish@humanism.scot or call 07427668145

I look forward to hearing from you!

Looking back to a truly special day ❤️

Storms may come, but love holds steady.

On 4th October, I had the honour of being part of Sarah and Craig’s wedding day in beautiful Perthshire. The wild storm Amy arrived the night before, but nothing could dampen the love, laughter and joy that surrounded them. They are a happy, lively and wonderfully funny couple and family and their day reflected that in every way.

It was extra special to work with them again, having previously celebrated their wee girl Scarlet’s Naming Ceremony back in December 2019 — such a hoot then and an absolute joy to come together again for another milestone in their family story.

A truly joyful, heartfelt celebration and such a pleasure to be part of.
So lovely to revisit this beautiful moment. Thanks Sarah and Craig Thoms! Diane 🎉🥰😁

🌲 As the year draws to a close, I want to offer not only season greetings but my heartfelt thanks to each of you.

It has been a true privilege to walk alongside you this year through moments of love, loss, remembrance and new beginnings.

To be invited into weddings, funerals, memorials and other rites of passage as your community celebrant is something I hold with deep respect and gratitude.

At this time of year, many traditions speak of light returning in the midst of darkness.

I have been deeply moved to witness that light again and again this year — in your stories, your courage, your love and the care you showed for one another.

Wishing you a warm, joy-filled Christmas and a New Year bright with connection, hope and gentle moments of happiness.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. Diane ✨🎄

A Wedding to remember.

Surrounded by autumns quiet beauty and the love of close family and friends, we celebrated a union that was rich with emotion and connection.

What an absolute delight and privilege to be part of these two beautiful souls wedding at the stunning Folly, Dunkeld House Hotel.

A small and intimate gathering and the amazing backdrop of the river Tay made Nico and Emma’s wedding truly special ❤️

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your day and a lovely wee collaboration with Angela Maughan.

A reminder of why ceremony matters - gathering, honouring and holding space for love in all its truth ❤️❤️❤️

Nico and Emma, wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and a love that keeps evolving ❤️

Love walking the dogs on the Luncarty side of the Tay but it's always a joy now that we have the new 'Destiny Bridge' to walk on the Stormont side! It was great to get to the old ferry crossing spot and find what was the original pricing!😁😳😁 "Driver free but passengers to pay the ordinary rate of horses sheep or cattle"!!!

The sun was shining in Dunkeld a few weeks ago when we held a staged photoshoot at Dunkeld House Hotel ❤️

It was a great day and can’t wait to see the official photographs - meantime here’s a wee video snippet and a photo of me grabbing a cuppa in-between with Kim from Sweet Little Things who makes delicious luxury celebration cakes 🍰👌🥰
