what better reason for having a ceremony than celebrating love! It is a great privilege for me to support couples in creating and experiencing such ceremonies in Scotland. I offer a variety of ceremonies to suit all occasions, including legal weddings and civil partnership ceremonies, commitment ceremonies, vow renewals and handfasting ceremonies.
WEDDINGS
At the heart of the ceremonies I offer are personal and hand crafted wedding ceremonies for couples wanting to ‘tie the knot’ in the beautiful Scottish Highlands & other parts of Scotland. All ceremonies have the couple at the very centre – their wishes, dreams, ideas and personal style. Some love it small & personal, others big & bold, some love it simple & others will look for a ceremony rich in rituals and symbols. My passion is to turn YOUR wishes into a memorable occasion!
COMMITMENT CEREMONIES
As a couple you may not be looking for the legal recognition of your relationship but still want to celebrate your commitment to each other with a special ceremony. Maybe you’d like to just focus on you as a couple, or maybe you are looking to share the joy with a wider group of friends & family. Whatever your preference, I’ll be happy to explore with you how to turn your very personal ideas and hopes into a meaningful ceremony.
VOW RENEWALS
There are many reasons for renewing vows – maybe to celebrate an anniversary, or to honour how far you have travelled and where you have come to as a couple, or to mark the occasion of entering a new stage in your relationship. Ceremonies can be as small as just a few heartfelt words to each other or as big as you wish them to be. Let me support you in making it a day to remember!
HANDFASTING CEREMONIES
A celtic handfasting ritual can be part of any ceremony or if you have a particular affinity with celtic traditions it can be at the very heart of your ceremony. I am happy to offer very personal handfasting ceremonies that incorporate the style of hand tying ritual you are drawn to, maybe honoring your own celtic heritage or you can opt for a simpler version, ideal for vow renewals or a simple nature centred commitment.
ELOPEMENTS
Sometimes a small & personal ceremony is what a couple is longing for most, and the Highlands of Scotland offer the perfect location if you want to keep it small and intimate, maybe just as a couple, or with close friends and family. I’ll be delighted to work with you on a personal ceremony, held outdoors or indoors in Scotland.
OUTDOOR CEREMONIES
As a great lover of the outdoors myself a ceremony set amidst our atmospheric landscape – a beach, among the mountains, on the shore of a loch or wherever takes your fancy – holds special meaning for me. Get in touch with your ideas and I will be happy to support you in making some outdoor ceremony magic happen!
BLENDING FAITHS
As an Interfaith minister supporting couples who want to recognise their different faiths during their wedding day is both a privilege and a calling for me. My knowledge of many different religions and spiritual paths enables me to work with you and your wider families on creating a ceremony that honours all traditions and incorporates readings and rituals with skill and sensitivity .
BLENDING CULTURES
I believe that a ceremony should reflect who the partners truly are & in today’s multi-cultural and diverse world this often means people from different backgrounds and cultures are coming together in love. I love creating ceremonies that honour and celebrate this diversity and which beautifully unite different cultures to reflect a couple’s personality and their wishes.
SAME SEX CEREMONIES
At the centre of all the ceremonies of love on offer is union, and fortunately in Scotland same sex unions are equal in the eyes of the law. I’m immensely proud that we have achieved this equality and it’s therefore a real privilege to work with you on creating a ceremony that has your equality, respect and love at the very centre. Get in touch to explore how to make your very personal Highland ceremony of love happen!
