Fiona McKenzie

Fiona is available to conduct Weddings, Civil Partnerships, Vow Renewals & Funeral Ceremonies.

Fiona would describe herself as a people person and a natural networker! She eludes warmth and has a wicked sense of humour. During her early career, she was a nurse and has spent the last 18 years working in the marketing, communications and creative industries. Story-telling, bringing people together, and creating meaningful memories is what Fiona really loves. People might not remember what you did for them but they’ll remember how you made them feel is something Fiona really believes

Fiona’s curiosity and energy know no bounds, especially when it comes to people. Fiona is like a human detective, fascinated by the quirks and stories that make each person unique. She has a knack for remembering details that even your granny would forget!.

Fiona firmly believes that joy can be found in the tiniest treasures, like the perfect cup of tea or watching the dog snooze after a long walk on the beach. And that’s where you’ll find Fiona on most days – out and about with her dog Nellie (and teenager Noah if she can force him!) walking the beaches on the Angus and Fife coasts. There's something magical about the sea breeze and the sound of waves that makes Fiona's heart do a happy dance.

Fiona is based in Carnoustie and covers Perthshire, Fife & Angus.
