Simple & Beautiful: Your Elopement in Scotland

Escape the two-ceremony requirement. Have one, unforgettable, legally binding ceremony in a breathtaking Scottish landscape.
One Perfect Ceremony. That's It.

In England, creating the personal ceremony you dream of often means a separate, impersonal trip to the registry office to handle the legalities.

In Scotland, it's different. As an authorised celebrant, I can conduct your full legal marriage at the same time and in the same place as your personal, heartfelt ceremony.

One location. One beautiful ceremony. Fully legal. It’s the freedom to have your wedding your way, without compromise or complication.

Here’s What Eloping Can Really Look Like

Now that the legal side is made simple, 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. 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.

The Perfect Setting for your Story

Part of making your ceremony feel true to you is finding the right place for it to unfold. The beauty of eloping is that "the right place" can be anywhere that is meaningful to you.

It can be a wild, windswept clifftop, but it can just as easily be the intimate warmth of a historic inn, a quiet corner of a beautiful garden, or the familiar comfort of your own home. As a celebrant who has had the privilege of conducting ceremonies in all kinds of settings, I am happy to draw on my experience to help you find the place that feels perfect for your story.

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
