Hello, I'm Rhona, a celebrant dedicated to crafting and conducting a variety of ceremonies, including legal weddings, vow renewals, funerals, and naming ceremonies.
With a focus on empathy, compassion, and diversity, I believe in celebrating each individual’s unique story, ensuring every ceremony is a true reflection of the people at its heart.
Having lived in several countries I have experienced many different cultures, beliefs, and met so many wonderful people along the way.
Whether it’s a wedding filled with laughter, a heartfelt naming ceremony, a dignified funeral, or a vow renewal that reaffirms your love, I guide you through each step with warmth and professionalism. I incorporate fun and light-heartedness where it fits, and ensuring that every service is conducted with the utmost respect and care.
I never forget, and tell you often – It’s your day and your way!

What must we do to get to married in Scotland?On your booking form I include a hyper link. This gives you a step by step guide of what you must do, and of course I will always be available to help you.
-
Where are you allowed to get married in Scotland?In Scotland you can be married anywhere deemed safe by the Registrar of Scotland, and if you have the landowner’s permission. In a hot air balloon and on the water too!
-
Must we write our own ceremony/vows?You can choose to write as much as you wish. I can do this for you, we can work together, we can keep vows hidden until you or I read them aloud or in private. It is your day to have and enjoy as you both choose.
-
What can we expect from you as our Celebrant?As your legally authorised celebrant I will work with you both to create a bespoke ceremony. On booking with me we can have a chat to say hello and to get to know each other, then nearer your date (usually around 3 months before and as a reminder your M10 forms can be submitted) I arrange with you a date and time for a longer chat where I will gather information from you about your day, plans, hopes and dreams. I will if you need me to, offer suggestions and guidance. I ask you to fill out a Ceremony Detail form prior to this meeting and it helps to put in place fine details, and highlight any questions you may have. I can also send you vow, ring exchange and symbolic gestures examples. I will draft a wedding script which you will receive at least a month before your big day. I will always make myself available to answer any questions you have. On your big day I will arrive at your venue at least one hour before to check the marriage schedule, and to chat with both of you before the ceremony.
