How exciting that you’re dreaming of an unforgettable outdoor wedding in Scotland! Picture saying your vows surrounded by breathtaking landscapes—whether in a magical woodland, beneath the cascading beauty of a waterfall, beside a tranquil river or Highland stream, among the hills and mountains with panoramic views, or on a breathtaking beach. The options are umlimited and making a choice can be tough—so take your time to explore and deliberate and get a sense of what’s right for you.
Whether it’s just the two of you eloping or a celebration with your closest family and friends, I can support you with your outdoor wedding by crafting a heartfelt, personalised ceremony that is a good fit for you and matches your style.
My home is in the Highlands, where enchanting woodlands, peaceful mountain lochs, and fantastic beaches like Achmelvich, Clachtoll, and Sandwood Bay are on my doorstep. But I’m happy to travel across Scotland to bring my experience with outdoor ceremonies to your big day

Whether you’re dreaming of an elopement or microwedding, I’ll work closely with you to create a unique and meaningful experience amidst the stunning landscapes of Scotland.

Elopements
For couples seeking a private, intimate experience, I offer personalised elopement ceremony set amid Scotland’s wild coastal beauty. I work closely with you to understand your unique vision, creating a deeply meaningful ceremony that reflects your love story. Together, we’ll craft a special moment that feels just right for you—whether in a serene woodland or mountain forest, beside a waterfall or tranquil lochside, or atop a hill with stunning views. Let nature provide the perfect backdrop for your unforgettable day.
Personalised ceremonies – humanist, spiritual or faith-based
Each ceremony I create is as unique as the couple at the heart of it. I take the time to get to know you, listen to your story, and understand your vision, ensuring every detail reflects your values and personality. I welcome couples who are looking for a humanist ceremony and those of all faiths, spiritual paths and cultural traditions. We will incorporate rituals that are meaningful to you—whether it’s a handfasting, sharing a quaich, or any other tradition that speaks to your journey together.
Our wedding ceremony was very small and intimate and it was lovely to have a Celebrant we connected so well with. We wanted a simple, relaxed ceremony in a woodland that means a lot to our family and Monika really helped to create the right atmosphere for that.
Monika officiated our wedding ceremony in Applecross – and we couldn’t be happier! She was very responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. he was always relaxed and supportive, and she took the time to get to know our story and put together a beautiful ceremony for us (with some lovely surprises and many personal touches!).
Monika is calm yet whimsical, philosophical but also witty. She took the time to get to know us. Monika’s service was thoughtful and joyful – it was just so us! It was like she had known Sean and me for years. Thank you, Monika, for making our day so special, memorable, and filled with love.
