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.

Grounded in nature — ceremonies shaped by the awe-inspiring landscapes of Scotland

Calm, experienced presence — I hold space, set the tone, and keep things flowing

Inclusive & thoughtful — sensitive to all beliefs, values, and backgrounds

No templates, ever — every ceremony is written from scratch around your story

Prepared for Scotland — savvy with permits, setups, and rain-or-shine plans

Thoughtful guidance — support with vows, readings, and traditions so every element feels meaningful

My approach to pricing

Every wedding is unique — not just in location, but in pace, preparation, and what you need from your celebrant. I don’t offer fixed packages. Instead, each ceremony is priced individually so it reflects the work involved and feels fair, clear, and proportionate.

Many of the ceremonies I create and conduct take place in a variety of locations across Scotland. When a wedding involves extra travel, my pricing simply reflects the additional time this requires. It’s a simple, all-inclusive approach that keeps fees fair, transparent, and proportionate to the kind of ceremony I provide.

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
