ceremonies as natural as the scottish landscape
Personal, grounded, and written from scratch — so your celebration feels relaxed, heartfelt, and true to you.
You don’t want an off-the-shelf ceremony. You want something heartfelt and relaxed — a celebration that reflects you, not a script. That’s where I come in. With a calm, steady presence and years of experience across the Highlands, I’ll guide you through every step — helping you create a ceremony that feels natural, inclusive, and true to your values.
As Sarah & Tim shared:
Monika took us by the hand to navigate the many options and got to really know us — our values, our love of place, and of each other. Her words skilfully knitted the whole ceremony together, and despite the early March weather, she greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile. Monika had become a confidant and facilitator of the happiest, most emotional and fulfilling day of our lives. Sarah & Tim
Nature Inspired Celebrations & Ceremonies
Grounded in the awe-inspiring Highlands, the place I call home, my ceremonies are shaped by both nature and your story. While most couples I work with choose the outdoors — a windswept beach, woodland, or mountain view — Scotland also has incredible venues that let the landscape in. Whether it’s a hotel garden, a glamping pod, or a dramatic interior with sweeping views, nature can still be at the heart of your day.
Whether you’re planning a legal wedding, a vow renewal, or a symbolic ceremony, I’ll bring the same calm, thoughtful approach to create something deeply personal, wherever you choose to be..
And in Scotland, you have complete freedom — ceremonies can be held anywhere, without needing a registered venue.
How it works
From the beginning, it feels straightforward. No pressure, no fuss — just honest conversations about what matters to you. We take it one step at a time, shaping your ceremony in a way that feels relaxed and personal. You’re involved, but never overwhelmed.
As things come together, we’ll include elements that mean something to you — maybe a handfasting, a quaich, or traditions from your background. Whether you’re blending cultures, honouring family, or doing things your own way, it all fits naturally.
When the day comes — by the sea, under trees, or in a venue — it feels right. And through it all, I’ll be there to guide and support you, calmly and steadily, so you can focus on what really matters: being present with each other.
