creating ceremonies that are heartfelt, personal and completely unique to each couple.
Your wedding ceremony is the heart of your wedding day — the moment you stand together, surrounded by the people you love, and make promises to one another for the future. As an experienced wedding celebrant, my passion is creating ceremonies that are heartfelt, personal and completely unique to each couple.
I have had the privilege of sharing in so many wonderful love stories. Every couple is different, and I believe your ceremony should reflect exactly who you are. I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” ceremony. Instead, I take the time to get to know you, your story, your personalities and what matters most to you, so I can create a ceremony that feels authentic and genuinely yours.
From our first conversation, I will guide you through the entire process, helping you decide what you would like your ceremony to look and feel like. Whether you dream of something romantic and traditional, relaxed and fun, beautifully simple or completely unique, together we will create a ceremony that reflects your relationship and sets the tone for the celebrations ahead.
I love hearing how couples met, the little moments that brought them together, the adventures they have shared and the things they love most about each other. These personal stories are what make a ceremony memorable. I will weave those special moments into your ceremony to create laughter, emotion and those beautiful “that’s so us” moments that your family and friends will remember long after the day is over.
My couples are at the heart of everything I do. I am incredibly passionate about creating a ceremony that you feel connected to and proud of, while making sure you feel relaxed, supported and confident every step of the way. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and it is an absolute privilege to be the person standing beside you, telling your story and helping you begin this next chapter together.
Your love story is unique — your ceremony should be too.
Getting Started
Once you enquire, I’ll send you information about my services, availability, pricing, and how I can help create a ceremony that truly reflects you as a couple.
As an independent celebrant with 9 years of experience and over 400 weddings conducted, I specialise in warm, personal, and memorable ceremonies filled with meaningful touches.
Securing Your Date
If you decide to book, I’ll gather a few extra details before sending over your contract and Terms & Conditions.
To secure your wedding date, a non-refundable retainer fee is required within 48 hours of booking. The remaining balance is due 28 days before your wedding day.
Once your payment is received, you’ll receive a confirmation receipt by email.
Planning Your Ceremony
Around 6 months before your wedding, I’ll get in touch to start discussing your ceremony ideas, including:
- Personal vows and readings
- Your love story
- Scottish traditions such as Handfasting or the Quaich
- Unity ceremonies and other meaningful touches
Then, around 3 months before your wedding, we’ll arrange a ceremony planning meeting (usually around 1.5 hours) where we’ll finalise all ceremony details, legal paperwork, and your personalised checklist.
Before The Big Day
In the lead-up to your wedding, I’ll stay in touch via email to help ensure everything is organised and running smoothly.
The week of your wedding, I’ll send a final email confirming:
- Ceremony time and venue
- What you need to bring
- Final ceremony guidance and reminders
On Your Wedding Day
I arrive around one hour before the ceremony to make sure everything is prepared and everyone involved knows exactly what to do, helping your ceremony flow smoothly and stress-free.
After Your Wedding
After your big day, I’ll check in to see how married life and your honeymoon are going. I’ll also invite you to share a testimonial about your experience.
I love celebrating my couples, so you can also expect some lovely social media highlights after your wedding day too. 💕
