Life Celebrations

The perfect ceremony for your special day

I will meet with you in the months leading to the big day to discuss everything from when you first clapped eyes on each other through to why you have chosen to spend the rest of your lives together. 

I will tailor the ceremony around your lives to create a laughter-filled, story-packed, awesome ceremony you and your guests will remember forever.

I am an authorised Marriage Officer for the Fulcrum Foundation and can conduct legal ceremonies across Scotland.

Please note that due to the marriage laws in England and Wales I am not currently able to conduct legal wedding ceremonies across England and Wales as yet.

Please contact me for further information, availability and prices.

A loving welcome for your precious baby

Gather your friends and family to wet your new bundle of joy's head with a fantastic welcome to the world. This non-religious informal occasion allows family members to come together to celebrate the birth and naming of your child.  We can create a beautiful and personal service that will introduce your new baby to the world.

We talk about how you found out they were on their way, what pregnancy and labour were like as well as all your hopes, dreams and wishes for their life. You can name guide-parents, take part in wee symbolic elements like sand-blending or a jigsaw placing and it can be full of love, laughter and fun.

Please contact me for further information, availability and prices

A special goodbye for a dear loved one

Losing a loved one is a very difficult time and saying goodbye can be extremely hard. I would like to help you, your friends and family to share happy memories and to celebrate a life lived, journeys taken and paths crossed.

I will meet with you and listen while you tell me all about your loved one. I will listen to the adventures you shared, the difficult times you conquered and the laughs, loves and triumphs of your life together. I will create an intimate and personal ceremony that will celebrate life and the special impact your loved one had on those around them.

Please do contact me if I can be of any support to you at this time and best wishes for the months ahead - try to focus on the great times shared and the memories that will last with you forever.
“I cannot emphasize just how flexible, calm, and patient Rachel has been for us! Our wedding was cancelled, re-planned and shuffled around, and Rachel stood with a smile and a giggle the whole way through. Her words were completely personalised for us, and she even humoured me by getting into character while reading a old poem for the drinking of the Quaich. We can't thank you enough!”

Rachel really did make our wedding perfect- I don’t think I have ever attended a wedding where the officiant cared so much about the ceremony and the couple, but Rachel really did go above and beyond to ensure our wedding was special and about us. She got to know us first over many meetings and events, before helping us tailor our ceremony to suit what we wanted. She has experience as a wedding planner too, so her advice was fantastic in all regards. Can’t recommend enough!”

Rachel helped make our big day super special and I can’t thank her enough for that!!!
Her service is personal, relaxed, collaborative and just plain fun.
It was a joy to get to know her throughout the prep and the ceremony she wrote was perfect for us.
Thank you Rachel!!!.”
