simple ceremonies -

a wedding that feels quiet, natural and true…

gentle, heartfelt ceremonies for couples who want to mark their love – without the fuss, the pressure, or anything that does not feel like them

if the idea of a big, busy wedding—or a ceremony that feels overly staged or emotional—makes you hesitate, you’re not alone. I create calm, nature-connected ceremonies for couples who want something simple, meaningful, and true to their own way of being—at a pace and style that feels comfortable and natural.

A Ceremony That’s Right for You

Not everyone dreams of a big, traditional wedding.

Maybe you’re shy, private, or simply someone who values connection over being the centre of attention.

Maybe you’re looking for something quieter and more genuine—a moment that feels real, grounded, and quietly beautiful.

In Scotland, you have complete freedom to marry almost anywhere—without needing a licensed venue or a trip to the registry office. And because I’m an authorised celebrant, your ceremony is legal then and there, in whatever setting feels right to you.

No big entrances or audience. Just the two of you, in a place that speaks to you, without pressure or performance.

That’s the kind of ceremony I can create for you.

As soon as we got in touch with Monika to begin plans on our wedding she made us feel totally relaxed and at ease, which is exactly the feel we wanted for our very intimate beach wedding.

what you can expect

I creat calm ceremonies that unfold gently, without rush or expectation, often in the outdoors (but under a roof is fine too!)

Wherever you choose to be – your ceremony will move at your own pace and be within your comfort zone.

It’s not about performing. It’s about being fully there with each other, and in a place that means somethign to you.

no pressure, no performance

You don’t need to write perfect vows.

You don’t need to explain your beliefs or share more than feels natural.

You don’t have to stand in a spotlight.

Your ceremony can be simple, quiet, and true—just a reflection of who you are and what feels right to you.

I’ll be with you, gently and steadily, so you can simply be yourselves.

the journey to your ceremony

Every ceremony begins with a quiet conversation. We’ll explore what feels right for you—places where you feel at ease and words that fit. If you need help finding the right setting, I can suggest hidden places where nature still feels wild and welcoming.

Together, we’ll find a way to shape your ceremony through words, and simple rituals, focusing on what suits your personality and style.

We were so fortunate to have been married by Monika, she understood us so perfectly! Nature and the outdoors is an important part of our life together and when I read about Monika’s approach, her values and the types of ceremonies she has covered, I knew she was the Celebrant for us. Communication and organisation from Monika’s side was brilliant, she made it so easy for us. Our wedding ceremony was very small and intimate and it was lovely to have a Celebrant we connected so well with..
