Wedding Celebrants in Hawick

As well as crafting and leading unforgettable wedding ceremonies, I can also stay on to be your Master of Ceremonies... basically your friendly hype man, and professional people herder for the rest of the day!

I’ll keep things running smoothly and stress free, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Need someone to welcome guests to the reception? That’s me. Introduce speeches with just the right mix of humour and heart? Yep. Announce the cutting of the cake, the first dance, or herd everyone outside for that big group photo without causing a stampede? I’m on it.

You get all the polish of a pro host with the personal touch of someone who already knows you and your vibe... and your guests won’t miss a thing (except possibly the canapés if they’re not paying attention).

For couples who love those extra special touches, my Magic Touch Deluxe Keepsakes and Presentation Box is the cherry on the wedding cake. It’s a beautifully curated collection of keepsakes from your ceremony, all wrapped up in a stunning presentation box you’ll treasure forever. Inside, you’ll find your full wedding script, lovingly hand-bound and printed on luxury linen paper - a true heirloom piece.

There are also handcrafted vow cards for you to keep or read from on the day, a plaited hand fasting cord adorned with charms, and a rustic clay heart personalised with your names and wedding date, tied with twine for that perfect finishing touch.

And to top it all off, a personalised bottle of bubbly, because let’s be honest, everything’s better with champagne. It’s sentimental, beautiful, and totally unique to you... a little bit of magic to remember the moment by.

In simple terms, I will meet with you, find out all about you and then create a dream wedding ceremony for you and deliver that ceremony with panache and flair on the day.

I love to chat to couples who have clear vision of what kind of ceremony they want - and also those who are clueless! I have over ten years experience and whatever wedding planning stage you are at, I can really help you get this right.

For a more detailed breakdown, here is a timeline;

Pre-booking
I prefer a free Vibe-check video call to meet you and go over key details and answer any questions. (For Marriage ceremonies there is a statutory minimum of 28 days and I will need to speak to you to confirm suitability.)

Within 30 days of booking - If we have had a pre-booking video call, then I will confirm in writing within 14 days all the details.

If we have not spoken prior to booking then we will have a phone call or a video call to confirm details before a written confirmation of details can be issued.

Around 3-6 months before the wedding
90 minute planning meeting to confirm all the details.
If you are within 25 miles this is normally a home visit where I will come to your house/flat and go through everything with you.
For couples who live further away this can be a video call.

Up to 2 weeks later
Full copy of ceremony script provided.
This will be revised up to once a month with any changes or amendments required.

On the day
I will conduct a wedding ceremony wearing my kilt at your venue!

The fee includes; my time for meetings and correspondence, a donation to a humanist charity (we plant a tree for every ceremony we do) and my return mileage to your venue up to 200 miles (Islands excluded).

The fee does not include: Statutory fees for marriage ceremonies are paid direct to the local registrar, at 2026 this is £100 (£45 x 2 for application forms and £10 for the marriage certificate.)

I have a free consultation to find out whether I’m in the Celebrant for you and tell you all about what I do. If you book, you will receive a booking form which, once your deposit has been received will be followed by the questionnaire to find out a little bit more about you and what you want from your wedding ceremony. When you’ve completed your questionnaire and returned it, we will set a date to get together to discuss final details and plan the ceremony. We talk about all the options, including unity ceremonies, such as handfasting, wine and sand Ceremonies etc if required, poems, personal touches etc. I’ll then write everything up and send it to you for your approval or edits. We’ll also arrange a read-through to ensure everything is accurate. If you'd prefer to receive the script in writing, this will be provided once the balance is paid, one month before the ceremony. This still allows time for any final adjustments if needed. On the day, I arrive about an hour before to prepare for the ceremony. I include a beautiful bespoke design for your commitment certificate, vow, poem booklets and keepsake script. Unity ceremonies can also be designed to coordinate. I also dress in keeping with colours and themes of your day.

This package offers the option for costume (Peaky Blinders or Pirate).

Wine or Sand Ceremonies and Hand fasting as standard, included in the price
