Can you actually legally marry us?

Yes, of course! Working under the Independent Humanist Ceremonies Team, I am fully registered and authorised by the Registrar General for Scotland to conduct weddings legally anywhere in Scotland.

Where can we get married?

This is the beautiful thing about getting married in Scotland - you can literally get married anywhere, providing you have the landowners go ahead that is. The legalities fall within what happens during the ceremony and who is there at the time.

How long are ceremonies?

Generally, ceremonies tend to last around 25-35 minutes. This is of course being dependent on what you would like included. Again, this can be up to you and if you would like a shorter ceremony - we do it. If you would like a longer ceremony - we can do that too!

What does your service include?

Right from the first contact e-mail/phone call up to your ceremony day. I am here with you during the wedding planning process. We would have an initial no obligation meeting either face to face or via zoom where we can meet one another, go over the process and for you to find out whether I am the right celebrant for you. I say this advice to my couples every time, you have to find someone that you connect and feel comfortable with. If you do select myself, then all ceremony preparation, script writing and advice in the run up to your day is also included as well as conducting the ceremony itself on the day too!

What is the cost of your ceremonies?

All Legal Wedding Ceremonies and Vow Renewal/Commitment Ceremonies are priced at £500. Made up of £100 deposit (payable at the time you decide to proceed with myself after our initial meeting) with the remaining balance due 28 days before your ceremony. Naming/Adoption Ceremonies are charged at £250.

Mileage is also charged at £0.50p per mile, depending on location from Crieff.

How do we contact you?

E-mail, what’s-app, phonecalls…carrier pigeon are all accepted! Basically, any way you like. I am here for you and your other half 100% in the run up to your day, there are no silly questions. Ask them! You will feel better for doing so.

Can we adapt our ceremony?

Yes, you have full ownership of your ceremony. It’s yours after all. Each and every couple is sent a first draft of your script between 4-6 weeks after our initial meet and once deposit is paid. The content of this script will be based on what you share with me during our meeting on your ceremony wishes and ideas. From there you get to read and see it. All of it. You can make suggestions, comments, tweaks on it and can add things in and out in the run up to your ceremony. I regularly have couples deciding just a few weeks before to add things in such as a symbolic gesture that they hadn’t considered and that is totally fine!

Can we include symbolic gestures such as Handfasting or Drinking from the Quaich?

Absolutely. There are a whole heap of symbolic gestures out there that you can do. Some of them being the more popular ones that you may have seen already such as handfasting but there are so many options too. My advice is always to pick a symbolic gesture that you click with and feel comfortable doing and equally if symbolic gestures aren’t your thing - you don’t need to do them. I do love it when couples put their own personal tweaks on Scottish Traditions. This is what makes symbolic gestures your own. Own it, make it yours and they are also lovely moments for photo opportunities!

Can friends and family get involved in our ceremony?

Totally! Friends and family members can do readings, help with symbolic gestures, sing the Hokey Cokey if they like to! Get them involved!

What about my dog?

If you have a dog that you can trust. Go for it. I love them. Guests love them. You love them and your photographers will love them too! And if they cause chaos, so be it. Hilarity is always welcomed during my ceremonies. Just whether or not you trust them with any wedding attire and muddy paws is up to you!
