Yes! In Scotland, humanist celebrants can legally marry you. That means that even if you’re coming from a country where humanist ceremonies are not yet legally recognised, you will still officially be married on your return. Yippee!

I’m based about half an hour north of Inverness, so most of my ceremonies are in the Highlands.

Having said that, I love seeing the country, so am more than happy to travel if timing permits. The dream is to get a wee campervan so that I can get to far flung ceremonies without having to charge for a hotel room!

You can either get in touch here, or check my availability on the HSS website. I try my best to keep the calendar up to date, but can’t guarantee it will always be perfect. If in doubt, give me a shout.

I will talk you through what forms you need to submit and what to do with your marriage schedule.

In some cases, it is best to ask the venue’s local registry office for more information.

I charge £500 for weddings/ civil partnerships and £250 for naming ceremonies. Travel is included if the venue is within 50 miles from my home, and 55p per mile thereafter.

Ceremonies that require ferries, flights, or overnight stays, will incur additional charges.

All couples will need to become Humanist Society Scotland members to secure your date on the website. This costs £98 for a two year membership.

By choosing a celebrant from Humanist Society Scotland you are supporting the charity work they do. You can read about their campaigns here.

HSS celebrants undergo months of training before registration, are required to engage regularly in continuous professional development and are observed annually to ensure they are delivering quality ceremonies. The membership fees allow this to happen.

Lastly, it ensures that if for some reason your celebrant is not able to make your ceremony on the day, cover will be provided.
