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.

Up and Down.... That's me in May, up and down the Up and Down....

That's me in May, up and down the North East for some cracking weddings.

I cannot wait to see all these couples say I Do.

I've gotten to know them all over the last year or so, heard the stories, learnt about their love for each other, and now I get to make it all legal.

See you on the other side of May 😁

May Day Holy Moly how did we get here so fast, pr May Day

Holy Moly how did we get here so fast, pretty sure it was dark and wet February a couple of days ago.

What are you seeing around you now that Mays arrived? I've got a long list of things :)

I can walk the dogs at 5am with no head torch
There's colour in gardens 
The wee birds are busy gathering nest material
The flower pots are starting to bloom, and all looking stunning.
Fields of gold, although that stuff gives me bad hayfever
I can go a day without a hoodie and layers on
I can turn the heating off mid morning
The long evenings make you wanna get outside more after dinner

It's a busy May wedding wise for me, so i've sent the request above for good weather for them all this year.

Have a good May everyone.

Let's do this.. When you arrive at the top of the Let's do this..

When you arrive at the top of the aisle and see your partner, it's a magical moment, and everyone in the room is smiling, including me.

Even looking at this photo of Amy and Kieran makes me smile; they are a beautiful couple and were a joy to work with. 

Amy and I are still in touch, and that's what getting to know my couples does, you make new friends.

I promise.... Let's talk about wedding vows. I'v I promise....

Let's talk about wedding vows.

I've had lots of new enquiries over the last couple of months, and one of the main questions couples ask me is do we have to do vows?

So I thought we'd talk about wedding vows this week

Do you have to have them?
Do we have to write them ourselves?
Do we have to say them ourselves?
Do they have to be serious?
How long should they be?

And there are no right or wrong answers to the questions above; it all depends on what you want on the day.

Are you having vows in your ceremony?  Are you writing them yourself?

What’s my job? You've got the venue, the dress, t What’s my job?

You've got the venue, the dress, the flowers, the photographer… and absolutely no idea what's actually happens in a ceremony.

I get this a lot. Couples come to me at the start of their planning and say "we have no idea what a ceremony even includes, or where to start with it."

That's when I tell them, you've come to the right place, that’s my job, that’s what I do best 😄

My job is to give you ideas, tell you what works, what doesn't, and help you build a ceremony that feels completely like you.

Your job as a couple? 

Just tell me your story. How you met, what you love about each other, and whether you want something lighthearted, traditional, or a total mix of both.

Past couples have said I've helped with everything, the ideas, the vows, the paperwork, all of it, and made it feel easy.

So if you're sitting there thinking "where do we even start?"... that's exactly what our chats are for.

No homework required from you. (Well. Apart from the legal paperwork. Obviously.)

The photos I love when the wedding photos come th The photos

I love when the wedding photos come through from my couples and their photographer.

And Michael, did not let us down at this one, capturing these photos just as they were about to exchange rings and read their vows

Just look at that cheeky wee face! Every single time I see it, it puts a huge smile on my wee face. 

Absolutely priceless.

Thrifty.. Sometimes your wedding suppliers can he Thrifty..

Sometimes your wedding suppliers can help you save money in ways you might not even think about.

It can be little things,  like using your bouquet for the signing table instead of ordering extra flowers, or moving your ceremony flowers through to your top table afterwards.

And if your ceremony is at 2pm and dinner is at 4.30pm, you might not even need canapés because nobody has had enough time to get properly hungry yet.

That’s why I loved this idea that Emma @paperandpetals1 created for Martin and Leanne’s wedding at Aswanley last year.

A double-sided welcome sign.

One side welcomed everyone to the wedding, and the other shared the order of the day, although you could just as easily use the reverse side for your seating plan instead.

Such a cracking idea,  and a lovely little eco-friendly touch too.

They said “we want a chilled day…” Not “chilled-i They said “we want a chilled day…”

Not “chilled-ish.”

Not “we’ll try our best.”

Chilled. 🥂

Feet up, champagne in hand, married to your favourite person, Amy and Kieran absolutely nailed it.

Absolutely love this photo from their wedding day, one for the wall, I think.

Short answer? You can have whatever you like. Lo Short answer?

You can have whatever you like.

Longer answer?
Personal vows, unity rituals, your mum doing a reading, your dog stealing the spotlight with the rings…

Honestly, if it matters to you, it goes in.

If you’ve got an idea,  we can make it happen.  If you don’t, I’ve got plenty.

I got me a real cowboy 🥰 This was one of the gues I got me a real cowboy 🥰

This was one of the guests at Robert and Maria’s wedding back in February at Ardoe House…

And he came all the way from Texas. Proper hat. Proper accent. The real deal.

Just goes to show… you never quite know who’s going to turn up at a wedding, and I love that.

It's all in the chats.. We have regular chats, no It's all in the chats..

We have regular chats, nothing formal, nothing scary.

I get to know you…
You get to know me…
And somewhere along the way, I get to hear your story.

Not just the big moments,  but all the little bits no one else ever asks about.

That's the bit I love. That’s where the magic is.

Because we’ll end up talking about anything and everything… first dates, who made the first move, questionable haircuts… all the important stuff.

And those little rabbit holes we wander down?

That’s where the gold is.

That’s how I find the stories, the quirks, the moments that make your ceremony feel like you, not something copied off the internet.
