I love finding new venues and especially the tucked away ones that are off the beaten track. This summer I was delighted to conduct a Humanist Marriage ceremony at the fabulous Seaton Collegiate Church near North Berwick. Seton is one of the finest medieval collegiate churches surviving in Scotland. Its story begins in the 12th...

A few weeks ago I turned 42, bit of a scary age, but I’m coping well so far! I also had the enormous pleasure of conducting a truly unique wedding ceremony for a lovely couple: the beautiful Lauren and the handsome Ali. The ceremony was held at Queen’s Park in Glasgow within the bandstand, and...

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...

Set on the outskirts of Ayr the venue is an easy journey from the near by area or even Glasgow. The magnificent ballroom looks...

On the 17th of May this year, I packed up my little wedding kit bag and headed off to North Berwick. Although a bit of a trek, it was a pleasant enough day and I enjoyed the drive. When I arrived at my destination for the day, I was immediately blown away by the stunning...

I know I always say this, but I do love the fact that my job allows me to frequent some of Scotland’s most outstanding wedding venues. In September I was delighted to pay a return visit to conduct a humanist marriage ceremony at the stunning Òran Mór in the west end of Glasgow. Sitting at...

Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux is uniquely situated on the edge of Muirfield championship golf course with stunning views over East Lothian and the Firth of Forth. Overlooking the world famous greens of the 9th & 18th holes, it has earned itself a reputation as ‘a golfers’ paradise!’ However, Greywalls isn’t just for the keen...
