This all started somewhere, how did you get engaged? It was me that proposed after a day at the rugby. I had planned to do it on Valentine’s day the week before, but the setting just wasn’t right, and me being me, I couldn’t wait for the leap year day the week after. It suited...

One of the great things about getting married in Scotland is that you can hold your ceremony virtually anywhere.  The top of a mountain, the shore of a loch, or for Anne and Peter, your own home. After experiencing difficulties trying to organise a wedding venue from abroad, Anne discovered that their perfect venue was...

Scotland has many places to choose as the setting for your wedding Celebrations.  I know it was hard enough for me when I first started looking, but I think for Steven and Mellissa, they knew straight away where their wedding was going to take place, and who could blame them?

Where to begin on this topic? It’s a toughie all right! I’ve worked with many couples over the last few years, many of whom are so nervous on their wedding day that my heart really does go out to them. And of course, it’s perfectly understandable.

A small but perfectly formed beautiful seaside wedding On a bright February day, I had the honour of conducting a very special marriage ceremony for Shanice and Mark, at the Seamill Hydro Hotel in Ayrshire. The ceremony took place in the stunning Arran Room at the Hydro and it was small, personal and very intimate,...

On a cold crisp afternoon in October 2014, I headed to the iconic Lighthouse in Glasgow to conduct the wedding ceremony for the lovely Kirsty and Kevin. The ceremony was to be held in the viewing platform at the very top of the building, aptly named, as the panoramic view of the city centre is...
