Everyone but everyone wants to get married at 2.30 pm on a Saturday afternoon, which means of course that the venues have you over a barrel and can charge a premium. I think more people should copy Katy and Beej’s example and marry on a Monday, when even a top restaurant, like The Atrium will … Continue Reading

Keri & Erik’s Humanist Wedding at Harburn House
We had the most wonderful, wonderful day and without doubt the most special part was our ceremony, which we will never forget. Thank you so much for encouraging us to be original, thoughtful and most of all honest in writing our ceremony.
Keri & Erik’s Humanist Wedding at Harburn House
People are coming from all over the world to have a humanist wedding in Scotland and I’ve married Australians and Americans and Danes and Germans but Keri and Erik’s Mexican wedding was a first. They had to change their plans at the last minute so it was all done in a bit of a rush, … Continue Reading
Camille & Virginia’s Humanist Wedding in the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh

Kerry & Monique’s Humanist Wedding at Craigmillar Castle
As a celebrant, I am always standing with the groom waiting nervously for the bride to arrive and I never really have much idea about her journey. Thankfully Kerry and Monique were working with the husband and wife photographic team, Alan & Jackie Rankine so for once I can see how she travelled all the … Continue Reading

Hannah & Albin’s Humanist Wedding on The Isle of Eigg
Every summer when I was a child, my family used to make a long and arduous journey, all the way from Edinburgh over single track roads and three separate ferry connections to our holiday home in remote Glenmoidart where there was neither gas nor electricity and the drinking water came from a burn at the … Continue Reading
