Hello! I'm Jan (she/her), the heart behind Iris & Sun Ceremonies, based in Renfrewshire, a Scottish independent wedding and vow renewal celebrant. I create personalised weddings, elopements and vow renewals across Scotland, and travel across the UK and internationally for destination celebrations.

I craft bespoke ceremonies rooted in warmth and authenticity – a space for people to feel seen and be celebrated. I bring joyful storytelling, a calm presence and a wee bit of whimsy.
I take time to really get to know you, listen closely and notice the small details. As a storyteller and creative writer, I capture your essence.
I lead the moment, but I'm not the centre of it. With a Master of Arts and nearly two decades of corporate and public-speaking experience, I hold space with quiet confidence.
I love real feelings, creative details, heartfelt stories and when everyone is present. You can feel the energy!

Symbolic rituals can add a lovely layer of storytelling to ceremony. You might be drawn to something familiar like handfasting, sand blending, unity candles, a quaich ceremony or something completely unique.
If you'd like to include an element but have no idea where to begin, I guide you! I adore coming up with bespoke ideas that connect to something real in your relationship. I recently created a symbolic ritual called 'The Rest Is Still Unwritten', inspired by a couple who love to journal. It's not for everyone, but it's for them.
If rituals aren't your thing then that's grand too! With a celebrant there are no rules about what a ceremony should look like, as long as it feels like you. We'll start with the things you love (and don't!) and go from there.
I've lived across the UK, Spain and America, home has never felt like one place. Travel, people and culture have shaped who I am and the way I approach my celebrancy. For me, a place matters because of the memories it holds, the feeling it creates and the people gathering there.
Whether it's just the two of you or all your loved ones and community, I want everyone to feel comfortable, included and part of the celebration.
If you're looking for a ceremony that's warm, thoughtful and relaxed, without the pressure to perform or do things just because it's tradition or trendy - I've got you!
Come as you are. Every body is welcome here.

Life's a gift. Let's celebrate it!
