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.
A shout out to Erin and Zayn's vendors We were at A shout out to Erin and Zayn's vendors We were at Elsick House, which is a stunning wedding venue in Aberdeen and we got the weather to go with it for their outdoor wedding ceremony. Karen and Joyce were fantastic making sure we had everything we needed and more, they work so hard in the background for all their couples. Wild and Coral had set up some games for the guests to play during the pre dinner drinks, some of the guests had a wee shot before the ceremony and sounded like a lot of fun from where I was standing. Then we had Liam Watt Videography, I'd worked with Liam before and was nice to see him again. I'm pretty sure it will be a stunning video. The florals were gorgeous on the day by Emma at Paper and Petals. I loved the floral clouds on the tables, but all the flowers were gorgeous. Then Zoe and I got chatting; she told me she's from down Cupar way. Turns out she's photographing a wedding with me later in the year in St Andrews - how cool was that? Karol Makula was the main photographer for the day, but I didn't see much of him as he was with the ladies as they got ready for the ceremony. Having seen the ladies getting ready, I'm pretty sure they are going to be stunning photos too. Gum Blosom made the cake and it looked lovely, I'd not seen one of her cakes in real life before, I loved the simplicity of this one. #elsickhouse #liamwattphotography #paperandpetals1 #photosbyzoeweddings #wildandcoral #gumblossombakes #rococoquartet #karol_makula_photography #celebrantaberdeen #aberdeenweddingsupplier #outdoorwedding #weddingsaberdeen #celebrantaberdeenshire

What a cracking weekend. A couple more enquiries What a cracking weekend. A couple more enquiries taken and booked, and a beautiful wedding for Amy and John yesterday. I've been working with them for the last year or so and what a lovely couple, full of laughter and perfect together. Had a cracking day at the Laichmoray hotel in Elgin, I'll do a wee review of the hotel later this week, because if you're up that way it's a cracking wee venue for a wedding. The guests were good fun, and everyone looked amazing, and the weather couldn't have been better, what more could a couple ask for. #laichmorayhotel #moraywedding #funwedding #weddingvenuemoray #celebrantaberdeen #aberdeenweddingsupplier #aberdeenweddings #celebrantaberdeenshire #elginbrides

It's been a week Since Nicole and Grant got marri It's been a week Since Nicole and Grant got married, how time flies this time of year. The theme was white, and was stunning. I get to stand in some lovely floral displays at weddings. And doesn't that cake look amazing, and had some cracking flavours inside, I heard I was promised a doughnut from the van on the day, but was away before they were serving, so never got to taste how good they were. #meldrumhouse #meldrumhousehotel #pam_rennie_cake_design #angelksilkweddings #whitedecor #weddingdecor #weddingarch #celebrantaberdeen #aberdeenweddingsupplier
Meldrum House 27.6.2025 The stunning setting for Meldrum House 27.6.2025 The stunning setting for Nicole and Grant’s wedding. I had the pleasure of working alongside some of the best wedding vendors in Aberdeen that day — a few familiar faces and a few I’d only admired from afar until now. It felt like a wedding vendor day out... and the craic was brilliant! ✨ Pam Rennie, cake designer extraordinaire, created the most beautiful cake. If you’re still on the hunt for your wedding cake, go have a look at her page – she’s a true artist. 📸 Dani Rose Photography was the main photographer – I didn’t see much of her (she was that busy), but she's lovely and definitely worth chatting to if you’re picking your photo team. 💄 Julia Stronach was behind the makeup brushes – and wow, the girls looked fantastic. I didn’t get a chance to catch her (she was tucked away in the bridal suite on Friday), but her work speaks for itself. 💇‍♀️ Also hidden away in the bride's room was Lauren from LP Creative Bridal Hair – again, no time for a proper catch-up, but the hair? Absolutely stunning. 🎥 Arron from Robertson Creative was on video duty – a cheeky chap (which we all know I love). He kept us all entertained with his jokes. 🪧 Emma from Thoughts and Crosses was on her knees sorting signage when I arrived – every piece looked incredible. If you need signage, you need to check her out. 📷 Sandi Ritchie Photography was second shooter that day, another friendly face who puts everyone at ease. 💐 And last but not least, AngelK Silk Weddings did the flowers – all white and absolutely breathtaking. And Meldrum House was gorgeous, and the ladies were a great help getting everything sorted for Nicole and Grant. Hope to see you all again soon #danirosephotographer #lpcreative_bridalhair #julzstron #sandie_ritchie_photography #robertson.creative #thoughtsandcrosses_ #meldrumhouse #pam_rennie_cake_design #angelksilkweddings
Tip number 3 on how to reduce wedding stress is q Tip number 3 on how to reduce wedding stress is quite an important one - or it is to me and a lot of my fellow vendors. When you begin to choose your wedding day vendors, you're going to choose people that you trust. People who have either been referred to you, or people that you've spoken to and liked and trusted during that initial call. And I promise you that every one of us will do all we can to create your dream wedding day. So here's the key: once you've hired us, let us do what you hired us to do. Communicate your vision clearly upfront, then step back and trust the process. We're experts at what we do, and we do our best work when we can focus on creating the magic for you. Your job is to show up and enjoy your day. Our job is to make it beautiful. Trust your team - we've got your back! And if you can do all that, then your stress levels will be a lot lower than trying to control every little thing. And I know things can change from that initial conversation with your vendor, so make sure you have a chat with them to bring them up to speed on your new ideas. If you don't update us, then we can't do our jobs as well as we would like for you. What's your biggest worry right now about working with wedding vendors? #weddingvendors #weddingstress #trustyourpeople #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantaberdeenshire #aberdeenweddingsupplier
Half a year gone already! Apparently time flies w Half a year gone already! Apparently time flies when you're having fun AND getting paid for it! 😁 It's been a whirlwind 6 months doing something I love (and pretending it's actual work, but don't tell anyone). The rest of 2025 is booked solid, 2026 is nearly full, and I've even got bookings for 2027. And these are all my couples from April till the end of June 2025, all beautiful people. I couldn't do any of this without all the lovely couples who somehow find their way to me. Thank you for keeping me so busy that I've forgotten what weekends are supposed to feel like! This is year 5 for me – officially my busiest yet. I'm meeting more couples, wedding venues, and vendors than I can shake a bouquet at. But the best part? I get to do what I love most: writing your stories. It's my happy place. I've heard some cracking stories over these 5 years. You've all been such wonderful people to work with. The laughs we've shared could probably fill a book – though I'm not sure anyone would believe some of the stories! If the next 6 months zip by as quickly as the first half, I'll be writing Christmas cards before I've figured out what happened to summer. Here's to love, laughter, and the beautiful chaos of wedding season! #celebrantaberdeen #aberdeenweddingsupplier #celebrantaberdeenshire #aberdeenbrides #weddingday #WeddingWriter #WeddingStories #LoveStories #WeddingPlanner #WeddingVendor #WeddingCelebrant #GratefulHeart #WeddingCommunity #LoveMyCouples #ThankYou #WeddingTeam #WeddingFamily #aberdeenweddingvendor
Saturday last week Saw me at Elsick House, anoth Saturday last week Saw me at Elsick House, another stunning wedding venue in Aberdeen. It was roasting hot for Erin and Zayn's wedding day, which was outdoors in the stunning gardens. The groom and his party were stunning in their Tuxedos, but were outshone slightly when the bride arrived. Again, I met some new vendors and I'll tell you about them later, but a big thank you to Karen and Joyce for looking after us so well at Elsick House on the day. #elsickhouse #aberdeenweddingvenue #aberdeenweddingsupplier #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantaberdeenshire #aberdeenweddingsupplier
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? #weddingplanning #datenight #celebrantaberdeen #aberdeenweddingsupplier #aberdeenweddings #celebrantaberdeenshire

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) #thoughtsandcrosses_ #meldrumhouse #celebrantceremony #aberdeenshireweddingvenue #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantaberdeenshire
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 Photos by #daniellesliephotograhy #deeside_photographics #elrickhouse #spotlesslychic #dogchaperone #furbabies #elrickhouse #aberdeendogchaperone #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantaberdeenshire

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. #solaweddingsinger #weddingsinger #aberdeensinger #elrickhouse #weddingjmusic #aberdeenweddings
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. #vivienneelizabethphotography #coos_catherdral #aboyne #funweddingceremony #doityourway #celebrantaberdeen
