Legal Marriages

Located in the North East of Scotland , I cover Aberdeenshire and Angus. I am also happy to conduct ceremonies in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway.

My ethos is  based on creativity and equality – embracing many cultures, identities and belief systems.  I love getting to know the people at the heart of each ceremony , building relationships and then creating a personalised ceremony that holds meaning unique to the people involved.

I am a loving and respectful celebrant creating ceremonies all about you. I will support, guide you, and write bespoke ceremonies that reflect your values. I always work with love and compassion, offering support and spiritual guidance. My authorisation to conduct a legal marriage is part of my membership with the Open Sanctuary, which is recognised by the Registrar General. As with SICA members who are authorised to conduct legal marriages in Scotland, this authorisation is separate from my SICA membership. https://www.opensanctuary.uk/our-community

Central belt and Argyll & Bute but will travel further if necessary.

I am based in Argyll & Bute, Helensburgh is my closest town.  I have taken ceremony in Argyll & Bute, Paisley, Glasgow , Stirling, Dundee and happy to travel. I am from Co Armagh and so have an Irish accent, so if you don’t like an Irish accent I’m not your celebrant! I take ceremony because I enjoy it. I am a professional actor and find taking ceremony much more rewarding than any performance.  I have never had a family that were not utterly delighted with the ceremonial process. We meet as strangers we leave as friends. I am sensitive, patient ...

Regardless of the life event you wish to mark or celebrate, whether happy or sad, attended by many or private, my training and experience allows me to create and conduct a truly unique ceremony. Each one being created with you, for you, to ensure a genuinely personal service.
