A celebrant in Aberdeen for couples who want to laugh, love and legally tie the knot, I'm the girl to make your day memorable, fun and with meaning.

Some of my cracking weddings ive done in the first Some of my cracking weddings ive done in the first half of 2026

Looking forward to the rest of the year with more lovely couples
The stuff nobody thinks about (but really should) The stuff nobody thinks about (but really should)

Sunscreen. Bug spray. Essential oils.

Not exactly the most glamorous part of wedding planning, but if your ceremony is outside in summer, these things matter.

Stash sunscreen around your guest areas, different SPFs, spray bottles, and child-friendly options. 

Pop some in the toilets too.

For bugs (especially those pesky midgies in Scotland) , citronella candles dotted around work a treat, and essential oils like lavender, lemongrass and peppermint are a lovely natural option.

The guests who didn't get eaten alive or sunburnt will thank you the next day.

Right, who's thirsty? Hot weather and weddings ar Right, who's thirsty?

Hot weather and weddings are a brilliant combination, but you need to think about keeping everyone hydrated, and I don't just mean with Prosecco.

Now, some of these ideas would depend on whether your venue or caterer has the capacity to handle them for you, but let's have a look at some options for hydration. 

Frozen cocktails after the ceremony are a cracking idea; they won't last long in the heat, but they'll be gorgeous while they do.

A signature cocktail is a brilliant touch at a summer wedding, and always have a mocktail option too, not everyone drinks.

And please, please make sure there's plenty of cold water around. 

A cooler box, or beer barrel packed with ice and bottles of water, is cheap, easy, and your guests will thank you for it. 

Alcohol dehydrates you fast in the heat, especially on an empty stomach, so if you and your guests can pace yourself a bit with water between drinks, all the better.

Top and bottom Ice cream at a wedding? Yes please Top and bottom

Ice cream at a wedding? Yes please.

Anyone else's idea of a perfect summer wedding involve an ice cream van?

Skip the traditional dessert and hire a retro one for after the ceremony instead. Honestly, show me a guest who wouldn't love that.

Or if the budget doesn't stretch that far, a cooler box packed with ice lollies does the same job and costs a fraction of the price.

For the meal itself, think cold canapés, melon is a brilliant one, or a starter like Gazpacho. 

I’m not allowed to eat tomatoe based food when I’m wearing white though, always spill it down myself 😊

Have a chat with your caterer about what works, there are loads of lovely options that will keep everyone feeling cool and comfortable.

Now I don't know about anyone else, but my feet get so hot in hot weather, so what about wee paddling pools scattered around for the guests to dip their toes in? 

The kids will love it, and I guarantee a few adults will be in there too. Just have some towels handy.

I'll be honest, I'd be sneaking my toes in too. 😄

Anyone get married on Saturday in all that heat? Anyone get married on Saturday in all that heat? 

Were you inside or out?

As I write this, we all know what Scottish summers are like, we’ve maybe had it for the summer already, so this week’s post about keeping your guests cool might be a bit late😊

And as I sit and write this in my shorts and T-shirt, the heavens have just opened, and I mean fully open, it's torrential rain, which is exactly what I meant when I said our summer is over in a flash 😊

But let's have a look at ways to keep your guests cool at a summer wedding, whether that’s inside or out.

First up, what time are you thinking you'll have your ceremony?

If you're planning an outdoor ceremony, one of the best things you can do for you and your guests is think about the time of day your saying your I dos.

In the UK, things start to cool down around 4pm. 

So, if you have any flexibility with your timings, a later ceremony could make a big difference, not just for comfort, but for the light in your photos too. 

And a twilight ceremony#daniellelesliephotography by the way.

Another busy Wee week this week, doing what I lov Another busy

Wee week this week, doing what I love best, meeting new couples, writing ceremonies and getting sight of the weddings i've done recently in the photos, they always make me smile.

I love taking my notes from our meetings and turning them into something they can share in their ceremony.

It's a wee walk down memory lane for them when they see it for the first time, and i love to see their response to the little bits I collate in my meetings, that they didn't know I saw or heard, but took note of and had them in the ceremony.

Big thank you To D & I for booking me as their ce Big thank you

To D & I for booking me as their celebrant in 2027, another stunning looking venue that I've not been to before. 

Lots of wee wedding road trips for me again in 2027.

Looking forward to getting to know them and creating their ceremony.

Thank you To Carla and Danny for my lovely gift Thank you 

To Carla and Danny for my lovely gift after their wedding on Saturday

The card is on my desk. I've resisted the urge to open the chocolates yet.

Honestly though, thank you both so much, it means more than you know. 

You were an absolute joy to work with, and you both looked amazing and it looks like you had a fantastic rest of the day.

Wishing you lots of love and joy in your life together with little Lily who I can tell is following in mums footsteps and loves a party 🥰

Meet the Scott's A couple of weeks ago I had the Meet the Scott's

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of marrying Carolyn and Gary at the Newmachar Hotel.

Don't you just love her dress 🥰

It was a beautiful, intimate ceremony with just their close friends and family on one of the hottest days so far that day.

They were a joy to work with, and we had some good laughs creating their ceremony. 

And when you hear back from the bride the following day with 

"You absolute star! Thank you so much again for today. It was perfect 😍 " you know you got it right for them.

Wishing them lots of love and happiness in the future.

It's here.... Carla and Danny are getting married It's here....

Carla and Danny are getting married today. I've been warned not to make them cry. 

I'm making no promises.

And w'ere at the gorgeous The Chester Hotel for this one.  Can't wait to see them and meet all the guests

Do you know what.... I often see posts asking wha Do you know what....

I often see posts asking what gifts you can give your wedding vendors, and the answer's always the same: you don't need to get us anything.

Because when you get a message like this afterwards, it's worth more than anything you could buy:

Natalie's nerves were settled by her own guests laughing along with the ceremony before she'd even walked up the aisle,  and that's exactly what I hope to achieve for every couple's day.

And for the venue to say it's the best crowd they've ever had, that will tell you something about the guests never mind the couple. 😁

Meet Mr and Mrs Wood. Natalie and Doug tied the k Meet Mr and Mrs Wood.

Natalie and Doug tied the knot in the jaw-dropping Glen Tanar Ballroom a couple of weeks ago, and what a day it was. 

The venue, the setup, this couple, their guests,  every single bit of it was a joy. 

These guests didn't just turn up, they turned up on a mission to give Natalie and Doug the best day of their lives. 

Mission very much accomplished. 

Laughter, tears, and banter flying thick and fast all the way through the ceremony.

Thank you both so much for asking me to be your celebrant. Days like this are why I love the job I do.

From a single thistle To a fully loaded wildflow From a single thistle 

To a fully loaded wildflower explosion, let's give buttonholes a moment.

The buttonhole is the one bit of the wedding that lives on the groom's chest, right next to where all the big feelings happen. 

No wonder I love them.

And I get to see a lot of them, never seen one that wasn't stunning either.

It's usually one part of the dressing up for the day that I get to be part of too, as I'm often found pinning them on for the groom's party.

What did your groom have as his button hole?  Did it match your colours or did it stand out there on its own?

I bet if I said.... Glen Tanar, you'd say Yip bee I bet if I said....

Glen Tanar, you'd say Yip been there and walk my dogs there...

But have you ever been inside the Glen Tanar ballroom?

OM goodness it is stunning.  I was there last week for Natalie and Doug's wedding and the place took my breath away

Every guest that came into the room held their breath at how stunning it was, they couldn't stop looking at all the antlers around the room, and there are far too many to count, it was like coat hooks on the ceiling.

Jill hayflowers had the place smelling and looking beautiful with her flowers, which set off the whole room beautifully.

In fact, all the vendors that were part of this wedding day had the place perfect for Natalie and Doug, they could not have asked for anything more.

I had the pleasure of marrying Wendy and Martin a couple of weeks ago at The Aberdeen Dyce hotel.

It was a beautiful, intimate ceremony with their closest friends and family watching them take the next step in their relationship. 

They both looked amazing and were quite chilled about the whole day.

Wishing them lots of love and happiness in the future.

Balchilton Barn A stunning wedding venue in Perth Balchilton Barn

A stunning wedding venue in Perth, where I was invited to marry Ella and Dean in May 2026.

What a stunning venue, the scenery is beautiful, inside the venue was amazing and it was the right vibe for Ella and Dean's wedding day.

I hope I get invited back to this venue again; it was well worth the trip from Aberdeen. 

If you're still looking for your wedding venue, I would highly recommend you take a look at Balchilton Barn.

But you can read more about the venue on the blog here https://www.thecelebrantangel.com/balchilton-barn-wedding-venue-perth/

Big thank you to #bigdayproductionsphotography for the photos

Meet J'Inglis and D'Inglis, the Inglis's who got Meet 

J'Inglis and D'Inglis, the Inglis's who got married last week at Banff Springs hotel.

We were hoping for a beach wedding on 2nd June, but oh, me, there was no way we were getting down there that day, so the wedding was moved indoors.

It was a cracking wee ceremony, with lots of laughs. 

I "interviewed" their 10-year-old daughter Ruby before the ceremony and got some cracking feedback about her mum and dad that they hadn't heard until the day.
