So… remember I told you yesterday's wedding was So… remember I told you yesterday's wedding was a secret, well the secrets out. I was at The King Robert Hotel in Stirling, supposedly for a joint 40th birthday party for Cally and Lindsey… But surprise! 🎉 It turned out to be a secret wedding — and not a soul (apart from hotel staff and one very well-briefed friend) had a clue! I’d been working with Cally and Lindsey remotely since they booked me, and only met them face-to-face on the night — and what a cracking couple they are! So well-suited, full of fun, and clearly up to deliver the surprise. We kicked things off by getting them up to sing Happy Birthday, and then… BAM! We told the guests what they were really there for. The reaction? Cheers, tears, and maybe a few jaw drops for good measure. It was a brilliant night with a wild crowd — I reckon there’ll be more than a few sore heads in Stirling this morning. It was a fair trek home, and I didn’t roll in until midnight, but totally worth it to see everyone’s faces when the penny dropped. 🥰 Can’t wait to share the photos when they land — both Cally and Lindsey looked amazing. This was my 2nd surprise wedding, and I absolutely love doing them 😇 #secretwedding #marriedinstirling #king_robert_hotel #stirlingweddings #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantangel #doityourway #birthdayweddingcelebrations #celebrantaberdeenshire
And we're off On the secret mission today, a surp And we're off On the secret mission today, a surprise wedding. I cannot wait to see this couple and the faces of their guests when they learn it's not a party they're there for, but a wedding. I do love a surprise wedding and you know why? There is zero Pressure on Guests. They arrive relaxed, dressed for a party, expecting buffet sausage rolls and balloons—not a ceremony! So there’s no outfit stress or nerves. No Opinions to Dodge When no one knows a wedding’s happening, there are no unsolicited opinions on your flower choices, the date, the venue or who should sit with who for dinner. The day is about the couple, two people choosing each other. No big fuss (unless you want it), just love, laughter, and a lot of surprised faces. People love a twist. And once the shock wears off, the atmosphere is electric. It becomes one of those “you had to be there” stories guests talk about for years. Less Fuss, More Feeling. Surprise weddings are often intimate, emotional, and real. It Reflects Your Personality. If a couple are unconventional, spontaneous, and up for a laugh—it shows in the most joyful way possible. It screams, “We’re doing this our way.” Can't wait to tell you all about it next week. #surprisewedding #surpriseceremony #weddingday #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantangel
Memories I love it when couples remember their lo Memories I love it when couples remember their loved ones like this at their reception—and of course, we mention them in the ceremony, too. Now, I’ve been told before not to include that kind of thing, because ‘a wedding is meant to be fun.’ But your ceremony should reflect you, and if that means honouring the people who can’t be there, then that’s exactly what we’ll do. Melissa and Clyde chose to include their loved ones in the ceremony, and I invited guests to raise a toast to them all later at the reception. There are so many ways to include those special people—this memory table is just one of them, and a lovely way for guests to see their faces and remember who they were.

Not every wedding needs a white dress and a big pa Not every wedding needs a white dress and a big party… I had the most beautiful conversation last week with an older couple who simply want to get their affairs in order. They were married once, divorced, and now—many years later—they want to make sure the legal bits are sorted for their family before they pass. Now, I know that might sound a bit morbid to some… but honestly, it was anything but. It was full of care, kindness, and love. I explained the different ways they could do that, without needing a big ceremony. They could pop to the registry office and do it there. Or… I could pop in for a coffee, we’d chat about life, and they could sign the paperwork with two witnesses present. Simple, meaningful, and fuss-free. As we ended the call, he said to me: "It’s no wonder you’re a celebrant. You’ve got such a lovely, kind and caring nature—and you’ve put my mind at rest. It’s good to know we can do this without all the fuss." Now, I might not end up doing their legal paperwork—but they’ve gone away knowing their options. And I’ve gone away with a warm heart and a lovely conversation I won’t forget. It's not always about a couple booking you, it's about helping couples do exactly what they want and need, and I'm so grateful I'm able to do that for them. #celebrantaberdeen #aberdeenweddingsupplier #humanistaberdeen #weddingsaberdeen #legalsonly #heretohelp

Melissa and Clyde What a fantastic day we had on Melissa and Clyde What a fantastic day we had on Saturday, weather, venue, guests and vendors, for Melissa and Clyde. We were at the beautiful Balfreish Barns in Nairn, the weather was just perfect, not too hot, little wind towards the end just perfect. The guests were a hoot, and the couple were amazing. Thank you to MeganJackPhotography for the photos 😇 I got to work with Shona from Ayedo Events and Niall from Wee Wedding Films, and I hope to see them all again soon. #balfreish_barns #meganjackphotography #ayedoevents #weeweddingfilms #morayweddings #weddingsinmoray #celebrantaberdeen #celebrantaberdeenshire #nairnweddings #morayweddingsuppliers #morayweddingvenue

Ever spotted a hidden message at a wedding venue? Ever spotted a hidden message at a wedding venue? I absolutely love this photo taken at the entrance to Thainstone House by the talented Logan from Deeside Photographics, at Cassie and Lewis's gorgeous wedding. Now I can't say i noticed it on the day, but it's a cracking photo and I wondered what it meant. So I did what we all do... I asked Google (what did we do before Google?). It means: "What you seek is here." Isn’t that just the loveliest sentiment for a hotel and wedding venue? Now I’m wondering — do any other venues have a wee phrase or saying at the entrance? I clearly need to start paying more attention on my travels! If you’ve seen any, let me know – I’d love to start a collection. #deeside_photographics #thainstonehousehotel #thainstonehouse #thainstonehouseweddings #celebrantaberdeen #aberdeenweddingsupplier #aberdeenshireweddingvenues #aberdeenweddingvenue #weddingsaberdeen #whatyouseek
Got kiddies? Want to include them in your ceremon Got kiddies? Want to include them in your ceremony? Absolutely — we can do that! I always like to make sure children have a wee role in the ceremony — something special just for them. And at these weddings, all the children had their little moments to shine. The mums and dads read a vow to their children right after saying their own vows to each other. I love this bit. The kids didn’t know it was coming, which made it even more special — a lovely surprise just for them. Have you thought about how to include your children in the ceremony? Got any ideas? I have lots of ways to do it, so if you're looking for a way to include them, pop over for a chat and let me give you some options.

Throwback to my very first ceremony back in Decemb Throwback to my very first ceremony back in December 2020... A vow renewal for the lovely Ivor and Barbara at the Palm Court Hotel. It feels like a lifetime ago, but I still remember the laughs we had that day with their cracking family—such a warm and joyful bunch. What I didn’t know until after they booked me? Ivor used to be a funeral celebrant in Aberdeen! Talk about pressure—I was sweating buckets trying to make sure I got it just right. The one in the middle is their "adopted son" he had to make an appearance on the day to They’re now living their best lives in sunny Spain, enjoying retirement. What a brilliant couple to have kicked off my celebrant journey with. And like all my couples, they were the sweetest couple you've ever met. #thepalmcourthotel #palmcourtaberdeen #celebrantaberdeen #aberdeenweddings #vowrenewal

Meet the new Mr and Mrs Cowie I had the pleasure Meet the new Mr and Mrs Cowie I had the pleasure of marrying the lovely Lana and Ross two weeks ago at the Holiday Inn Westhill. It was my first time there for a wedding, a nice local venue. This was the day it tipped off rain, but that didn't stop this pair from having a great day. I also had the pleasure of working with John, the photographer from Loveweddingsaberdeen, on the day, and the team at the Holiday Inn were lovely. #holidayinnwesthill #holidayinnwest #loveweddingsaberdeen #aberdeenweddingsupplier #weddingswesthill
Not-So-Obvious Wedding Tasks You Might Forget! Le Not-So-Obvious Wedding Tasks You Might Forget! Let’s talk about a tiny but crucial detail… removing price tags from your wedding outfits🏷️✂️ Nothing says romance quite like gliding onto the dance floor for your first dance… only for Auntie Jean to spot a “£39.99” sticker flapping around on the groom’s jacket. 😳 Or worse—imagine the wedding photos, all elegant and timeless, except for the huge white tag peeking out of the brides maid's dress, reminding everyone it’s size 12 😅 So, before you strut down that aisle, do a quick tag-and-sticker sweep! Or better still, do it the night before, and remind the other half to do the same thing. You don't want your guests thinking you’re planning to return the outfit after the wedding… P.S. This also applies to the soles of new shoes—unless you fancy “UK SIZE 9” featuring in your first dance twirl. #weddingtips #onthedaytips #aberdeenweddings #remeberthetags

Not-So-Obvious Wedding Tasks You Might Forget! Le Not-So-Obvious Wedding Tasks You Might Forget! Let’s talk about the little things that sneak up on you on your wedding day—those “Oh no, I didn’t think of that!” moments. First up: Noise. We all love a bit of background ambiance on a wedding day, but can you imagine walking down the aisle, all eyes on you… and then BEEP! Your smart watch proudly announces: “Goal achieved!” ⌚ Or worse, mid-vows, it decides you’re in the middle of a high-intensity workout (which, to be fair, might not be entirely wrong). And if you’re someone who gets emotional? The last thing we need is your wrist blurting out: “WARNING: Your BPM is dangerously high!” 😳 (, I’m not a first aider, so that might make me panic.) Or you auntie Nellie might phone to wish you luck and it would ring on your watch. Solution? Give the tech a wee timeout for the ceremony. Or at least switch off notifications—so your vows don’t get interrupted by a reminder to “stand up and move.” (although that might be fun) Note to self: My new watch is also a smart watch, so I must make sure it's on silent, never mind the couple. #lastminutenerves #smartwatch #weddingtips #aberdeenweddings #turnyourwatchof
