Wonderful Janine

Janine was the perfect Celebrant for myself and my wife. She was honestly the nicest person. She got to know us both and made our wedding day perfect. We could not thank her enough for everything she did for us.

10 stars - best celebrant we could have asked for!

We cannot thank Janine enough for everything she did to make our Scottish elopement absolutely perfect. Planning a wedding from overseas can be stressful, but Janine went above and beyond in every possible way.

From the very beginning, she supported us with multiple video calls, helped us coordinate all the little details, and genuinely made us feel so cared for. Her husband, Jack, was even our driver on the day - Jack was also absolutely fantastic and was such a calm, friendly and helpful presence.

Janine guided us through the entire process, answered every question, and organised the sweetest picnic for us after our ceremony. Janine incorporated my husbands Māori culture in our ceremony as well as some Scottish traditions for my heritage - it made the day feel so personal, thoughtful, and special.

Janine wrote the most beautiful ceremony script, capturing our relationship perfectly with a little giggle throughout - which was exactly what we wanted! It felt like she truly understood us, even from the other side of the world. We enjoyed Janine and Jacks company so much that we’ll definitely keep in touch and plan on catching up with them when we go back to Scotland for our five year wedding anniversary.

Our elopement in Scotland was an absolute dream, and so much of that is because of Janine. We are endlessly grateful and would recommend Janine to anyone looking for a warm, genuine, and exceptionally dedicated celebrant.

The perfect celebrant!

We absolutely loved having Janine as our celebrant for our wedding in September 2025. I was lucky to meet her in person at a wedding show in Glasgow. She was so lovely and natural that I knew she would be the best person to marry us. We had several calls with Janine in the lead up. She ensured we were all set with the legal paperwork. More importantly, she listened to our story as a couple and asked great questions in order to perfectly summarise our relationship perfectly on the day. The whole ceremony was perfect, end-to-end. Natural, easy, romantic, and full of tears and laughs. She even had a backup quiach when we forgot ours!
I would highly recommend Janine! You'll be in good hands!

Perfect wedding

We met Janine at a wedding fair and we instantly felt she was the perfect person to conduct our wedding ceremony.

On the lead up to our wedding she made sure to have regular catch up meetings with us and took note of our love story to conduct the most beautiful ceremony.

On the day she made sure we were comfortable and we couldn’t have wished for the most perfect wedding ceremony.

MacWilliam Wedding - our amazing celebrant!

We couldn’t have been happier with the service we got overall from Janine, from the meetings beforehand to her amazing work on the day that made the ceremony so perfect for us both and all our guests. We’re so grateful for Janine and couldn’t possibly recommend her more!! Thank you for everything you done for us both (and Rory) x

We couldn't have asked for more!

Janine went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did she take the time to get to know us and our story, but she talked us through the whole process, what was required of us in terms of dates, paperwork, etc, and helped us prepare for the day so we could enjoy it to the fullest. She was also very patient with us when we took our time to make decisions regarding the ceremony, and supportive of any changes we made. She wrote a lovely script for us, which we got to read and tweak in advance to make it just right, and the way she conducted the ceremony was so natural, it felt like a friend was there guiding us along. It was definitely reassuring to have a friendly face there and to know she had our backs through it all - it made it that much easier and helped calm the nerves! She spoke to each of us separately before the ceremony just to check how we were feeling and make sure we knew what we were doing. Janine is warm, friendly and easy going, and she was the perfect fit for us. We couldn't have asked for more from her and are so glad we chose her to lead us through this milestone. She helped make the day extra special and we'll be forever grateful for that. Thank you so much Janine! 🤗

Our wedding day

Janine was a fantastic celebrant - whilst my fiance knew Janine the first moment we met I felt totally at ease and she was utterly brilliant to work with. Janine was extremely helpful and supportive - and fast forward to our wedding day all our guests were saying how amazing Janine was . Her preparation and expertise was second to none. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Janine / she made our day so special ! Thanks again and anyone getting the chance to work with Janine - you will have made a brilliant choice !

Incredible celebrant

Janine was amazing from the first time we met her at a wedding fair, to when she conducted our ceremony. She was always professional, and listened to everything we wanted. She was very thorough and explained everything step by step. We wanted a fun ceremony that also got the guests involved, which is exactly what we got. Especially with the added mr and Mrs quiz as Janine’s suggestion. Even when our two year old wanted to be carried and passed between us during our ceremony, Janine didn’t flinch and carried on regardless. She was so accommodating and easy going. I’d highly recommend her for your ceremony.

So so grateful to have met Janine🩷

I don’t even know where to start with how grateful we are to have found Janine. The search wasn’t easy because we knew we wanted someone we would click with, someone we could relate to, and someone who could really tell our story. We wanted warmth, openness, and that feeling of a big hug — because that’s exactly the emotion we wanted on our wedding day. We wanted it to be intimate, emotional, but also very us — and Janine more than delivered.

She told our story not like someone who had only known us for a year, but almost like she’d been in our lives all along — knowing us both separately and as a couple. She took the time to really listen, to hear us, and to focus on the things that mattered most. She even suggested ways to bring my culture (I’m Iraqi) into the ceremony. We weren’t sure how to weave that into a humanist ceremony, but she went away, did her own research, and came back with beautiful ideas. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch.

It feels wrong to end this by saying “we’d highly recommend Janine,” because that sounds far too transactional. Janine hasn’t just been our celebrant — she’s felt like someone close to us throughout the whole journey, and for that we’ll always be so thankful.

The perfect wedding!

Janine was the perfect celebrant for our small intimate wedding - we couldn’t have asked for anyone better, she was just perfect!

Right from the start the communication was brilliant, she really cares about getting to know you and all of the small details - we had multiple zoom calls where we chatted through our life, our stories and just general chit chat too. She is incredibly funny, full of character and so lovely! We were very nervous but she put us both at ease - Janine couldn’t do enough for you and will help you prepare for your big day

Also very dog friendly, she made sure to include and make sure our dogs were part of the ceremony and equally as celebrated!

Thank you Janine for a very special day, for being that person to tell our story and making it personal and perfect ❤️

Janine is a wonderful celebrant!

I could not recommend Janine more highly. Right from the beginning we felt in very safe hands. We spoke to a number of celebrants about conducting our ceremony but as soon as we met Janine we knew she was right for us. She checked in regularly but most importantly we felt like Janine was committed to creating the ceremony that suited us as a couple. She was extremely flexible and very responsive. She even let us have our dog come to the ceremony and act as ring bearer. The script she wrote for us was funny, heartfelt and moving. We honestly could not have been happier and guests kept telling us how much they had loved the ceremony the whole day.

The perfect vow renewal

We wanted to renew our vows but had no idea what to do, what should happen or where to begin. No worries because Janine carefully guided us through our options but being very careful to listen to us and ensure it was our day. It was perfect.

Janines ceremony was warm, loving and absolutely captured the essence of our life together. With fun and tears injected we had the best day with our favourite people.

i could not recommend Janine highly enough. Thank you so much.
