She helped make our day special and personal.

Catriona was very helpful from the very start of the wedding process. She walked us through the marriage process very clearly and made it all very stress free. On our wedding day, she took us through a beautifully prepared ceremony that was exactly what we wanted it to be. She included everything we’d mentioned and picked up on details that we’d not thought to include. We can't recommend her enough!

The ceremony felt so personal, heartwarming & fun

We are so, so glad to have chosen Catriona as our celebrant. From the initial consultation through to the big day she made us feel comfortable and confident in how the ceremony would go. She provided lots of options for the ceremony, guiding us while also giving us space to choose what felt right felt right for us. She told our story beautifully and seamlessly incorporated elements including handfasting, exchange of rings, and a quaich ceremony.

I cannot recommend Catriona enough

Catriona is an amazing celebrant and we were so lucky to have her as part of our ceremony. She is kind and approachable and made us feel so comfortable to discuss our story from the very first meeting. She used all the information and stories we told her to write a beautiful ceremony for us that was meaningful and personal. She conducted the ceremony perfectly, capturing our journey beautifully, and we couldn’t stop smiling from start to finish. We had the perfect day!

Catriona, we can't thank you enough.

We had the most spectacular magical day at Carlowrie Castle. Catriona was exceptional and made our ceremony so intimate. She had listened to everything we had discussed during our meetings and gave the most wonderful description of us as a couple. All of our guests made a point of saying how lovely you were and what a fabulous ceremony you gave. She laughed with us and got a bit emotional with us too, she also became best friends with Bella (dog).

Everything about the ceremony reflected who we are

Catriona was absolutely wonderful, and we feel so lucky to have had her as our celebrant. From the very beginning, she was warm, caring, and genuinely interested in getting to know us and our story. She listened so thoughtfully, then turned that into a ceremony that felt completely personal and beautifully told—she became the storyteller of our relationship for all of our guests to hear.

Allowed me to truly relax and enjoy the moment

Catriona was absolutely amazing as our wedding celebrant. From the moment she arrived, she helped me feel calm and reassured, which meant the world as big events can be quite overwhelming for me. Her kind, grounding presence before the ceremony made all the difference, and knowing she had everything running smoothly allowed me to truly relax and enjoy the moment. The ceremony itself was just gorgeous – personal, heartfelt, and exactly what we had hoped for.

She gave us many ideas that we hadn't considered

I can't say it enough just how brilliant Catriona is. She helped us plan our fabulous elopement, she gave us so many ideas that we hadn't considered, and spent loads of time with us, getting to know us, to enable her to write a ceremony that was perfect. We honestly had the best day of our lives and Catriona was a huge part of that. Book her now, you will not regret it! Thanks again Catriona for helping us to achieve the perfect day.

an amazing ceremony that we will cherish forever

Catriona delivered an amazing ceremony that we will cherish forever. She stepped in at the last minute after our original celebrant became ill, and handled everything with such professionalism and ease. You would never have known she wasn’t part of the plan from the beginning—she made the whole experience feel effortless and personal. The readings were delivered with such thoughtfulness and emotion, adding a truly special touch to the ceremony.

The ceremony was relaxed and very friendly

Catriona was the celebrant for my daughters wedding in June and she was fantastic. In the time before the ceremony she guided both my daughter and her partner through all they had to do, meeting with them on several occasions to get to know them and get a feel for what they were like. On the day she spoke with genuine warmth and caring and the ceremony was relaxed and very friendly. I would definitely recommend Catriona, she helped make the day very special.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

When should we book our wedding celebrant?

As soon as possible! Once you’ve confirmed your venue and the date of your celebration, next on the list – book your celebrant! Wedding celebrants get very busy, often booked over a year in advance, so it’s always best to book in plenty of time to avoid disappointment.

Are you authorised to solemnise marriage in Scotland?

Yes absolutely, as a Marriage Officer with Celebrants Scotland I am authorised to solemnise your marriage – in other words I am a wedding celebrant who can legally marry you anywhere in Scotland. 

What does your fee include?

  • All our calls and meetings (in person or online) to discuss your ceremony and script
  • My time planning, drafting and writing your personalised ceremony script
  • Guidance on writing your vows 
  • Suggestions of readings and symbolic rituals or cultural elements you could include – for example a handfasting ceremony 
  • The first 50 miles of travel between Edinburgh and your venue
  • A digital copy of your ceremony script as a keepsake
  • Support, guidance, calming of nerves and lots of laughs along the way 
  • And of course, in addition, I’ll deliver your ceremony on the big day with plenty of warmth, love and friendship

Can we include a handfasting or other symbolic wedding rituals?

Absolutely - symbolic wedding rituals are fantastic to include in your wedding ceremony. If you're looking for Scottish traditional rituals we can explore including a handfasting or quaich ceremony, or you may like to include a ritual that's representative of your own culture or heritage.

We don't live in Scotland, can we still be married there?

Yes you can be married in Scotland, even if you live elsewhere. Scotland is a very popular wedding destination for couples from all over the world. If you want to be legally married in Scotland there is, of course, some paperwork involved. Alternatively you may choose to be legally married in your home country and have a symbolic wedding or commitment ceremony in Scotland. The National Records of Scotland website is a useful starting point if you’re exploring getting married in Scotland and are non-UK nationals. 

Where can we get married in Scotland?

You can be married anywhere in Scotland – with the landowners permission of course. I love conducting ceremonies outdoors in the historic city of Edinburgh. Or why not hold your celebration in a location which is meaningful to you – on the beach, the hills or beside a beautiful Scottish loch.

Can we elope to Scotland?

Yes, you can elope to be married in Scotland and there are many amazing locations at which to hold your elopement ceremony. For a legal marriage ceremony you will also require two witnesses - friends, family or perhaps your photographer? If you'd rather it was just the two of you, you can hold a symbolic commitment elopement ceremony and be legally married in your home country.

Do you have any promotional offers for Bridebook?

Yes I do. I'm happy to provide a complimentary digital copy of your personalised wedding ceremony script after your wedding. It makes the perfect momento of your day - enjoy reliving the moment you were married!

How far do you travel?

I am a wedding celebrant based in Edinburgh, but happy to travel throughout Scotland. If you are being married further than 60 miles from Edinburgh I may add travel costs to my fee. This will always be discussed and agreed in advance of your booking. No nasty surprises here!

What if you are ill on the day of our wedding?

I am a memeber of Celebrants Scotland and we guarantee that one of our authorised Marriage Officers would always be available to marry you on the day if an emergency arose and I was unable to attend. It is very unlikely to happen, but always good to have a plan B just incase of an unexpected illness or life event.
