A wedding as individual as you are …
Unique wedding locations, unique content for your ceremony
Your choice of location is not limited in Scotland and you can be married anywhere you like, whether that’s in a hotel, a country estate, in a church, your own garden, a military garrison, underneath a waterfall, or up a mountain. I’ll even walk to get to where you are if you live somewhere truly remote (and there are still a few of those places left where there’s no car access at all).
And the content of your wedding will be as individual as your location. Whether you want to have traditional or funny vows, they will be the highlight of your wedding and I’ll be here to help if you’re stuck for ideas. You might be from different cultures or belief backgrounds so whatever you want to have included in your ceremony is your choice. Sacred texts and readings, blessings, funny stories, prayers, songs – all of these go into making your ceremony absolutely bespoke.
Leanne and Lewis were married on an exceptionally blustery day high up in the Cairngorms. The gusts were coming at us at over 50mph and it all just added to the fun, as well as some spectacular photographs and memories.
Thinking of eloping to Scotland?
If you’re thinking of coming from overseas, the romance of Scotland - of its places and its people - is legendary, so what better reason would you have than to call this beautiful country your home (for a few days at least) and to celebrate one of the most important days of your life immersed in the beautiful landscape, the history and the culture its history and culture. There are so many customs which make a wedding here so uniquely Scottish, and you'll soon understand why so many people travel thousands of miles to come to the Highlands to make their special vows.
Your venue and location are only limited by your imagination and are as individual as you are.
Jess and Joel from Australia, chose to head up on the gondola and get married on Aonoch Mor in Northern Scotland. This is what they had to say about their day:
We were very blessed to have Glynis as part of our special day. At the start of our journey all the way from Australia to the Scottish Highlands, Glynis made us feel very comfortable and took the time to deliver a very intimate experience that we will cherish forever. Glynis was professional, warm and spoke true from the heart, delivering a beautiful ceremony that we will never forget.
Sometimes, saying I do twice is extra special …
Some couples like to renew their vows for special occasions, or after a long period of marriage. Karen and John from Inverness did just that to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary in North Scotland, in one of their favourite spots overlooking the River Ness.
We met Glynis and felt she was the right person for us straight away. She was able to pick out our feelings and thoughts that made our day very special, professional and organised and exactly what we were looking for.
And if you choose me to conduct your ceremony …
We'll have an initial meeting during which I'll talk to you as a couple. This will give me an opportunity to really get to know you as a couple - how you met, who you are, and what you want in life together. You never know, you may find out more about each other in this meeting, too. We'll also discuss in depth the style of ceremony you would like. Following that meeting, I'll work on creating your bespoke ceremony. I'll edit your script as many times as you like until we have the perfect ceremony for you. Nearer your big day, you may want to have a wedding rehearsal if you like (not all couples do!) on a mutually agreed date and time. On the big day itself, I'll conduct your wedding ceremony and you'll be given a presentation folder with a copy of your ceremony to keep.
