Your Place, Your Story

For couples who want a wedding that’s deeply personal and unforgettable—far from the trends and top-ten lists.
A Ceremony Rooted in the Landscape

In the Scottish outdoors, a ceremony is more than just words—it’s an experience shaped by the landscape itself. As your celebrant, my role is about more than just the words we'll share on the day; it's about the entire journey we take to create them.

Because the setting is so integral to the feeling of your wedding, I believe my work includes helping you think through the possibilities of different locations. This guidance isn't about being a wedding planner with a list of venues; it's about the art of finding a place where your vows will feel comfortable and truly yourselves.

My focus is always on creating a moment that honours both your story and the unique place you choose for it, ensuring the two are woven together seamlessly.

The Freedom to Marry, Your Way

The freedom to choose your own quiet spot is the foundation of a truly personal wedding. In Scotland, we don’t have a system of licensed venues, which means you are free to hold your ceremony in a secluded glen, on a forgotten beach, or any place that feels right.

As an authorised celebrant, I can conduct a ceremony that is fully and legally binding in that perfect place. This means there is no requirement for a separate civil ceremony, offering a welcome simplicity to your day.

A Simple Path to Your Ceremony

A Shared Understanding

We begin with a relaxed, unhurried conversation to explore your vision. This is a space to talk about the feeling you're chasing and what a meaningful ceremony looks like to you.

A Wedding That's Truly Yours

It's easy to feel like modern elopements are a race to the same famous viewpoints. But you're looking for something different: a day that's about your commitment, not about performance.

The goal is to create a space where you can be fully yourselves. That might mean quiet vows for just the two of you, or a joyful celebration with your closest friends. Either way, it’s about a meaningful day in a corner of Scotland that feels personal and real.

Shaping the Ceremony

I’ll guide you in weaving together your personal vows and any meaningful rituals, ensuring every element is a true reflection of your relationship and values.

A Ceremony That's Truly Yours

I will meet you at your chosen spot and deliver a personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable ceremony, creating a space for you to be fully present with one another.
