Hi, I'm Victoria Johnston Celebrant 👋

Professional
Sophie Mcdowell said: where do I even start with how amazing she was!! It was the most perfect ceremony, so personal, funny and emotional in all the right places.
I'm so passionate about my role as a celebrant and that really comes across when I'm chatting to couples, finding out about them and working alongside them to create their own completely bespoke wedding ceremony. My ceremonies have a touch of humour and I'm delighted for couples to involve their friends and family who may wish to read a poem or read some prose, I offer a range of symbolic gestures - feel free to ask me any questions!

Victoria Johnston Celebrant Full Description
I'm a humanist who has been granted the privilege of conducting legal marriages in Scotland - if you want a personalised ceremony which represents you as a couple, tells your story and incorporates, humour, joy and passion then get in touch! I absolutely love my job and getting to know my couples, I offer then support in the run up to their big day and I'm honoured to be a little part of one of the biggest days of their lives.
I am very passionate about my role, I have always been a people person and I love working with couples through the process of creating their own ceremonies. In my opinion, it's important for couples to be involved in creating their own individual ceremonies and I encourage my couples to have their voices heard to ensure their ceremony represents them as a couple, reflecting their personalities, thoughts and values.
I can curate poems and readings for friends and family of they wish and I can incorporate a range of symbolic gestures, such as 'tying the knot' (or handfasting), drinking from a quaich etc.
As a humanist, my ceremonies are non-religious and the focus of the ceremonies I write is very much celebrating the good things in life. My ceremonies include gentle humour to ease the nerves and relax everyone, especially the couple tying the knot.

Describe your typical process with a couple.
After booking with me, I keep in touch with my couples to check in every now and then. I like check in when it's time for them to submit their M10 forms and then we'll arrange to meet in order for me to find out all about their story, how they met, how the relationship developed, the all important proposal story and all about their hopes for the future - I'll then go away and write their ceremony, incorporating their choice of vows. My couples have full approval of their scripts and we work together to make any changes until the script is perfect for them. On the day, I'll arrive in plenty of time and will be there to help soothe nerves if needed!
How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?
Plan, plan and plan! And be remain calm if the plans have to change.
What do you love most about your job?
Keep spreadsheets of everything to keep a track of spending and what's been booked/organised.
What is your favourite moment at a wedding?
I absolutely love arriving at the venue (usually 2 hours before the ceremony) to see the bride with her bridesmaids and the groom with his entourage. The bride is usually cool as a cucumber, chilling and enjoying a Prosecco whilst getting her hair done and thr groom and groomsmen are a bag of nerves. I love the nervous energy of the preparations and I feel so excited and happy for the nearly-weds
