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. 💕
