Bespoke
Ceremonies
We have been performing Ceremony and Ritual since the beginning of time, they are the most magical way to declare your love and move gracefully to the next chapter. Through Ceremony we form the bridge for all those who have gone before us and invite them to witness this most sacred blessing. Without Ceremony what are you left with?
My most popular ceremonies
Wedding
You are getting married, huge congratulations, and in Scotland. Scottish locations are some of the most breath-taking in the world. Embracing your ideas, I will create a ceremony that fits with you, beautiful, meaningful and as much fun as you desire.
Funeral
It is a time of mourning and heartbreak, but also a time to celebrate a life, sharing stories, passions, and anecdotes. When we say goodbye, it is so important that the right ceremony is created for us.
Vow Renewal
I would be honoured to help you create a ceremony that fits like a glove with your story, that brings all the threads of love, joy, fun and hardship and weaves them all into the rich tapestry of life and unity.

Rituals
Scotland is rich in customs and traditions. We often see many of these in Scottish ceremonies. Some of the most well known rituals are “tying the knot” (handfasting), a piper leading the procession or a celebratory dram of whisky.
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart”
Hi my name is Gaynor, ordained minister & interfaith celebrant
I’m so glad you found me. I craft and conduct bespoke ceremonies to celebrate events that lead us on to the next chapter. With meaning and mirth, together we can create a beautiful ceremony that holds, respects and embodies the occasion.
How it all works
Here you can get an overview of how the process typically unfolds.
We begin with an informal conversation. A chance to see if we feel comfortable together and if we are the right fit for each other. If we decide to move forward, I’ll send a booking form. Once this is returned along with the booking fee your date is officially reserved in my diary.
Around 16 weeks before the ceremony I send some forms for you to complete and once I have received them back we meet again.
Approximately 12 weeks before the day, we meet at the venue if possible and then go get a tea of coffee and begin shaping the ceremony itself. We’ll explore ideas, readings, rituals, and how you’d like the ceremony to feel — meaningful, personal, and true to you.
After our planning meeting I’ll write the first draft of your ceremony. You get the opportunity to review it and then we refine any wording and make sure it feels just right — nothing is fixed at this stage.
After any amendments are made we confirm the final version of the ceremony. By this point, everything should feel aligned and settled, so you can head into your ceremony with confidence, calm, and excitement — knowing it truly reflects you.
Client Love
Every bespoke ceremony begins with a casual conversation
Whether you’re at the very beginning or already have a clear idea in mind, a simple conversation is often the best place to start. There’s no pressure, just a chance to explore what feels right for you.
