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 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.

I bring the same calm, thoughtful approach to every celebration, creating something deeply personal wherever you choose to be. This is true for all ceremony types—legal weddings, vow renewals, or symbolic celebrations—and for any location, from a hotel garden or glamping pod to a dramatic interior, ensuring nature can still be at the heart of your day.

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.

My Fee Structure & What's Included

My aim is to keep things simple and transparent, with no hidden extras or surprises. The philosophy below explains the thought and care behind my fees.

My Pricing Philosophy

My pricing is designed to be simple and fair, so you can choose the celebrant you truly connect with, wherever you are in Scotland.

I am based in the North-West Highlands near Lochinver, and I've chosen to live and work in this beautiful and wonderfully remote part of the world.

Perhaps you connect with my style, but your dream wedding is happening further afield. I believe geography shouldn't get in the way of you having the right celebrant. That’s why my pricing is structured so you are never penalised for where I live. It's a simple, all-inclusive rate that balances the reality of my travel while ensuring my fee remains fair and competitive with experienced local celebrants in your area.

Ultimately, it allows you to invest in the style of ceremony you truly want, with the person you feel a connection with.

Ceremony Fees for 2026

My fee structure starts with my local rate for the North-West Highlands, where I am based. The subsequent tiers are then simple, all-inclusive rates for ceremonies further afield. Travel is always included, so you’ll know your full costs from the outset.

• North-West Highlands Fee: £615
  For ceremonies in my home area, within approximately 30 miles of Lochinver.

• Highland & Moray Ceremonies: £705
  For weddings across the wider Highland region. This covers Inverness, the Cairngorms, Moray, and parts of Skye close to the mainland.

• Mainland Scotland Ceremonies: £760
  For ceremonies in the rest of mainland Scotland, including Perthshire, Aberdeenshire, and the Central Belt.

• Isles & South Scotland Ceremonies: Tailored Quote
  For celebrations on the Isles (Hebrides, Orkney, Shetland) or in the far South (Dumfriesshire, the Borders), I’ll gladly provide a tailored quote.

A quick note on special adventures: For ceremonies that involve extra logistics, like a long hike up a mountain or a remote location requiring an extra overnight stay, I will let you know upfront if a bespoke quote is needed. I do not charge extra for German or bilingual ceremonies.

Limited Ceremonies, Deep Connection

Because I give every couple the time and focus they deserve, I only take on a select number of ceremonies each year. Availability for 2026 is open — now is a lovely time to begin the conversation.

We had simply the best day. Our guests absolutely loved the ceremony. The service was incredibly personal and special. The way you put the whole thing together was just perfect. I loved the fact that our friends and children were at the heart of our ceremony. Emily & Rob
