Your Wedding, Your Way. Beautifully Simple.

In Scotland, your wedding isn’t defined by restrictions—it’s defined by your story. You have the freedom to choose a setting that is truly meaningful to you, without being limited to a licensed venue.

Imagine your vows on a coral sand beach, in a quiet woodland, or within the walls of a space that's entirely your own—from a simple holiday home to a funky glamping pod, or the quiet elegance of a stately home.

As an authorised celebrant, I can conduct your ceremony in that perfect place, and that one, heartfelt moment can also be your fully legal marriage if you wish.

Here’s What Eloping Can Really Look Like

Now that you know how simple it can be, you can focus on what truly matters. Eloping doesn’t mean doing less—it means doing only what is meaningful to you.

Most couples I work with have never been to an elopement before—after all, they’re not the kind of ceremonies you get invited to. So you don’t have to have it all figured out. I’ll walk you through what’s possible, offer gentle guidance, and help shape a ceremony that feels calm, meaningful, and true to you. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small circle of loved ones, your ceremony will be held with care, presence, and meaning.

Crafting a Ceremony That’s Truly Yours

What truly matters are the words you say and the way you say them. This is where we move beyond the location and into the heart of your ceremony.

There are no scripts here. Instead, I’ll listen to your story—how you met, what you value, what makes you laugh—and gently weave it into a narrative that is honest, heartfelt, and completely your own.

We can craft personal vows that feel natural to say, and you might want to include a meaningful ritual, like a traditional Scottish handfasting or sharing a Quaich. It is a moment designed not for an audience, but for the two of you.

What Couples Say

"What we got from Monika was so much more than we could have ever imagined... Monika supported and helped us with writing our vows, and created our perfect ceremony. We never had to chase her for anything... meaning we could be completely relaxed and ourselves for our ceremony."
– Lisa & Derek
