Alan’s two passions in life are music and communicating - skills that he has been able to beautifully marry (pardon the pun!) during his 20 year career as a radio presenter.

Alan was inspired to pursue life as a celebrant having spoken as a guest at both humanist wedding and funeral ceremonies to great acclaim from those present. It seemed the natural progression for him to adapt and refine his presentation and writing skills into creating memorable ceremonies that are unique and exclusive to each and every customer.

Alan is a warm-hearted, caring individual who will listen attentively to the needs and requests of each customer and help incorporate them into a ceremony that is perfect for them..

“The personal touch is what really makes a humanist ceremony stand out. Knowing that you’ve made a significant contribution to such an important day in people’s lives is incredibly fulfilling. My promise is to make each ceremony unique and thoroughly memorable – whether that be to share the joy in bringing two lives together in love. Or, to provide a warm and fitting tribute to a life lived to the full.”

Marriage is central to Alan’s life right now as, away from work, he recently married the love of his life Kerry. While Cookie the dog is the apple of their eye..

Away from conducting ceremonies, you can hear Alan every weekend on STV Radio where he presents the Saturday and Sunday Breakfast Shows from 6-9am. You might also spot his voice introducing programmes on the telly on BBC One Scotland!

He also loves his sport and has spent time during the last decade as a stadium announcer for both football and rugby clubs in Scotland.
