It’s your wedding! But I’m here to guide you every step of the way. It’s such a thrill to share this special occasion with happy couples of all kinds and I’ll help you create the perfect, bespoke ceremony to reflect your personalities.

Whether it’s for hundreds of guests in a grand castle, richly laden with symbolic gestures and beautiful poetry or some simple, meaningful words with a few friends on a windswept beach, It’s your choice and I’ll help you achieve it with humour, patience and experience!

The method

Firstly, we’ll meet – in-person or online – so we can find out a bit about each other and you can see if I’m the best fit for you. I’ll get a feel for your vibe as a couple and learn about your background and what sort of ceremony you require.

If you choose to go ahead, I send you a pack full of information including how to book, how to register your marriage, loads of vows and readings for inspiration, and “the checklist”!

The checklist is where you tell me which of my many suggestions for your ceremony you want to use and how you want to do them. And I’m constantly available on email for your questions or to give me more information.

I use the checklist to construct your ceremony which I then send to you for your approval/changes. We can send it back and forward as often as required – until it’s perfect!

Then we can meet again, if you wish, to talk it all through.

All the way throughout the process I keep in touch, reminding you of what I need and keeping you right about the legal requirements.

Lastly, we all turn up on the day and have the time of our lives!

About me

Born and raised in Fife I moved to Edinburgh to study, and fell in love with the city, where I subsequently raised my two – now grown-up – children. I do, of course, regularly return to “the Kingdom” to visit family and attend the odd Raith Rovers match!

Becoming a Humanist Celebrant felt like a culmination of so many aspects of both my personal and professional lives. I like to think of myself as a “people person” and most of my previous career was spent as a Community Education Worker, based mainly in the Edinburgh community of Wester Hailes. However, alongside this I have become a published novelist and have performed far and wide as a singer-songwriter and lead singer of various bands.

These activities allowed me to develop the presentation, writing and people skills to do justice to my current role which I have now been doing for over eight years and over 350 weddings!

I bring professionalism and humour to the role. It’s a privilege to come into people’s lives at such a special time and help them achieve a very special day to remember.

Please get in touch to find out more.

I’m looking forward to it already!
