Hello, I’m Karen, a belief-based wedding celebrant authorised with TLC to conduct legal wedding ceremonies across Scotland.
I create warm, personal and deeply meaningful ceremonies for couples who want their wedding to feel like a true reflection of who they are — not simply a formal moment, but something to be remembered and felt by everyone present.
Every ceremony I create is individually written and thoughtfully crafted around your story — yesterday, today and tomorrow. From how you met, to the life you’ve built together, and the promises you choose to make for your future, your ceremony becomes a genuine expression of your journey as a couple.
I work with couples planning intimate weddings, relaxed outdoor celebrations and elopements in Scotland’s beautiful landscapes. Whether you are gathering with family and friends or choosing a quiet, personal moment together, your ceremony will be created with care, intention and meaning.
As a belief-based celebrant, I can gently weave together religious, spiritual and non-religious elements, creating a ceremony that feels authentic and inclusive. Many couples choose to include symbolic rituals such as handfasting or other meaningful traditions, adding depth and connection to the moment.
My role is to guide you through the process with warmth and reassurance, creating a ceremony that feels natural, heartfelt and uniquely yours — one that honours your story and marks the beginning of your married life together.

What is a Celebrant?
A celebrant is someone who works alongside you to create a ceremony that feels personal, thoughtful and true to who you are. Unlike a registrar or minister who in most cases follows a set structure, I take time to understand your story and craft something that reflects your values, your people and the moment you’re marking.
If you’re unsure whether a celebrant is the right fit, I’m always happy to talk it through
Can you conduct legal weddings?
Yes. I am authorised, with TLC, to conduct legally binding weddings in Scotland, provided the required paperwork has been completed through your local registrar. I will guide you gently through what’s needed so everything feels clear and straightforward.
Where can a wedding be held?
One of the great joys of a celebrant-led wedding in Scotland is flexibility. Your ceremony can take place almost anywhere meaningful to you — indoors or outdoors — whether that’s a venue, your home, a woodland, by a loch, or somewhere deeply personal.
If you have a place in mind and aren’t sure if it’s suitable, just ask.
What legal responsibilities does the celebrant hold at the wedding?
I ensure the required legal wording is spoken and that the marriage schedule is signed correctly by you and your two witnesses. The completed paperwork is then returned to the registrar within the required timeframe - 3 days.
On the day, my role is to quietly hold both the legal and emotional space, so you can simply be present.
Who can be witnesses at a wedding or elopement ceremony?
In Scotland, you need two witnesses aged 16 or over. They can be family members, friends, or anyone you choose who meets the age requirement.
What is the difference between a celebrant with TLC and a Humanist celebrant?
As a celebrant trained on an inclusive belief based approach rather than a specific philosophy, I am able to offer complete flexibility in tone and content — whether that includes spiritual elements, symbolic rituals, or a fully secular approach.
A Humanist celebrant follows a non-religious philosophy and does not include religious content in ceremonies.
The most important thing is that your ceremony feels aligned with you.
What experience do you bring to each ceremony?
Alongside professional celebrant training, I bring experience in writing, public speaking and, perhaps most importantly, listening.
Each ceremony I create is shaped by care, structure and sensitivity to the moment — whether joyful, reflective or somewhere in between.
How do you personalise each ceremony?
We begin with a conversation. I take time to understand your story, your relationships and what matters most. From there, I write a complete unique ceremony script that reflects your personality and your hopes for the day.
Nothing is “off the shelf.”
Can we be involved in the ceremony?
Very much so. You may wish to write vows, include readings, involve children or invite friends to participate. Some people want to be deeply involved; others prefer guidance and reassurance. I adapt to what feels right for you.
What does a wedding celebrant do?
I design, write and deliver your ceremony, include the legal elements required in the words spoken and the signing of the legal form, support rehearsal if needed, and ensure the ceremony flows.
I can provide structure, prompts and gentle editing support. Some couples find writing vows surprisingly emotional — I’m there to steady and guide you through that process.
My role is to hold the space so you can focus on the moment.
I can advice and lead on including rituals within the ceremony - which can add depth and meaning to a ceremony. These might include:
• Candle lighting
• Handfasting
• Building a stone cairn
• Quaich sharing
• Promise stones
• Tree planting
• Family unity rituals
Each ritual is chosen for its symbolism — not simply for appearance.
If you’re curious about incorporating something meaningful, we can explore ideas together.
