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.

Tip 2 for planning your wedding Take some time of Tip 2 for planning your wedding

Take some time off. 

Now I know that might make you panic, "if I take a day off I'll never get it all done".

But I promise you you will.  Once you have our vendors in place, they will look after you.

Taking a bit of time once a week or every couple of weeks to chill and forget the planning, will help your relationship and give you a clear head to come back to the planning with some fresh ideas.

Most couples are planning their wedding a year head, thats a lot of time to be planning every single day/night or weekend.

So get a bit of time of wedding planning into your diary, go on those date nights you've always done.

Has anyone done that, taken the time off and still got their wedding planned the way they want in time?

Looking forward to seeing all my couples on their day and the lovely venues, here's hoping we get a good July weather-wise

Nicole and Grant So Friday saw me at Meldrum Hous Nicole and Grant

So Friday saw me at Meldrum House for the wedding of Nicole and Grant.

The decor was stunning, as was the wedding party, but we'll see those later.

I got to meet Emma from #thoughtsandcrosses_ eventually, been watching her on IG for a while, so it was nice to finally meet the lovely couple that make your ceremony stand out, and boy do they work hard getting it all into perfect place for you both.

I'll do a wee vendor shout-out later in the week and tell you about all the ones I met on Friday (there were a few)

Another introduction from the Elrick House Open Da Another introduction from the Elrick House Open Day in June…

Let me introduce you to Julie from Spotlessley Chic Dog Chaperoning — aka, the fairy dogmother every wedding needs 🐾✨

I’ve seen Julie in action at a few of my couples’ weddings where the dogs were just as important as the humans.

Julie is calm, lovely to chat to, and she spoils your dog like it’s her own - treats, cuddles, the full VIP experience.

I’d trust her with my own dogs, and that’s saying something… I don’t even trust my kids with the leads half the time.

So if your four-legged pal is on the guest list, or even carrying the rings down the aisle (yes, that happens and it’s adorable) give Julie a shout. You’ll get a professional, a dog lover, and possibly a few spare gravy bones thrown in.

You won't be disappointed. And neither will your dog

Isn't she lovely 🎵 isn't she wonderful.... are Isn't she lovely 🎵

isn't she wonderful.... are you singing along with me now 🎤

This is Sola, a beautiful young lady with an amazing voice, and she was with us at the Elrick House open day on 1st June, keeping us entertained with her songs, and joining in with the dancing.

I'm hearing Sola's name a lot around the wedding scene now, which is fantastic news.

So if you're looking for entertainment for your guests as they arrive, or someone to sing you down the aisle, then look no further.

Pop over and see if she's got your date available, you won't be disappointed.

So yesterday I told you about the vendors at the So yesterday

I told you about the vendors at the wedding on Saturday

Today, let me tell you about Ali and Scott, the new Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald, who got married at Coo's Cathedral.

I knew this wedding was going to be fun having worked with the couple for a few months, and seeing these photos from Viv makes me wish I'd been there to witness some of it firsthand.

See the bouncy castle... that's the bride upside down!

And I'd love to show you the funcy boxers Scott had on with Ali's face all over them, but I wouldn't want the IG police to shut me down.

This is what weddings are about.

Although getting married is serious business, it doesn't need to be a formal and quiet day - it's a day for celebrating, and these two definitely did it in style!. 

So never be scared to do what you want at your wedding, starting with the ceremony.

I realise that I've not done a vendor shout out fo I realise that I've not done a vendor shout out for a wee while
So I'll start with Saturday's wedding for Ali and Scott, 21.6.2025 

First up is Daniel, who goes by the name Joyful on IG. What a lovely man! His guitar and singing were magical for Ali and Scott's ceremony and kept the guests entertained. If you're looking for some music for your wedding day, give him a wee shout; you won't be disappointed.

Then we have Scott from Dutch Courage Bar Hire. 
Now I've seen Scott and his team at lots of weddings before, but never had the time to say Hi, so I made that happen today.
Scott and his team are amazing at weddings, so if you're looking for a bar hire for your wedding or even an event, pop over and chat to Scott.

Then it's the lovely Viv from Vivien Elizabeth Photography.  I popped in to see the bride on my way down to the venue and everyone, including Viv, were the picture of calmness.  I've worked with Viv before, so I know her photos are good and sure she will have captured Ali and Scott delightfully too.

Then we have the ladies at 3 Tiers Creative.  Wow, what a job they've done with Coos Cathedral and I'm loving the new plans to keep themselves busy out there. 
Coos Cathedral was stunning, the weather was fantastic (it was that hot a day in Aboyne on Saturday), although we were all sweating even just sitting,  but a fantastic day for a wedding.

It's Ali and Scott's big day today at Coo's Cathedral, where I've not been to before, so looking forward to seeing round that and meeting their guests.

And looks like we're in for some cracking weather for this one today.

And this cheeky chops From the open day at House And this cheeky chops

From the open day at House of Elrick is Pam Rennie, the Top Tier awards wedding cake maker extraordinaire.

Pam was there with some of her stunning cakes, including some of the best brownies that I've ever eaten (we sneaked a wee taste at the end)

Pam doesn't just come in and plop down the cake and go, on your day.

I've seen her out with the spirit level, making sure it's sitting nicely, I've seen her putting on the toppers, and seen her giving me some cheek.

So if you're looking for a stunning wedding cake for your big day, then pop over and check out her cakes and pop her a message, but be warned, she's booked up pretty fast, so get her on your priority list when booking your vendors if you want a cake that everyone's going to talk about.

And to my left At the House of Elrick open day on And to my left

At the House of Elrick open day on 1st June was this beautiful young lady, Amy Duncan

Amy was like me, and this was our first open day session, so we stood together supporting each other.

She was nervous and thought she'd not be able to chat to people, but they were queuing to see her on the day, and she was fantastic.

She puts you at ease in secs, loves a chat and has one of those personalities you can't help but like, as well as a wee gorgeous face.

Check out her IG account for some ideas for hair uppers (they're her favourite) for your wedding day; her photos are stunning.

Rain Rain stay away, come back another day But th Rain Rain stay away, come back another day

But that rain on Saturday didn't stop us from having a fantastic wedding for Kirsty and Craig.

But i couldn't help but think about the piping ladies standing outside in it whilst the guests arrived.

The guests were amazing, the outfits were fantastic, and didn't Kirsty and Craig look amazing, and he cried.

The girls were stunning and had been up at the crack of dawn, and the boys scrubbed up well too. 

And those flowers, OMG they were stunning, but wait till you see the cake to.

It was lovely to catch up with Rhian again, and thank you for capturing and sharing those amazing photos.

I met a few new vendors on the day too, and some familiar faces,s but I'll do a vendor shout out later.
