Perfect from start to finish 💛

We honestly cannot recommend Janine highly enough! She was our celebrant for our wedding and was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the very beginning, she kept us updated with everything, made the whole process so easy and stress-free, and was always there if we had any questions and nothing was ever a bother.

On the day itself, she was simply perfect. Everything flowed so smoothly and naturally, and she struck the perfect balance between heartfelt, emotional moments and just the right amount of humour. She captured us and our story as a couple so well and made the ceremony feel incredibly personal, warm and completely “us”. The majority of comments we got from our guests was that they’ve never been to a wedding like this, it was so personal and lovely.

We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be such a huge part of our special day. What a day we had, and Janine played a massive part in making it so unforgettable. She genuinely cares and is brilliant at what she does, she made our ceremony something truly special. Absolutely incredible from start to finish — we’re so grateful we had her! ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Janine

Janine was superb. She was really lovely and done a wonderful job helping us get married throughout the whole process.

We cannot thank Janine enough!

Its hard to put into words how special Janine has been and how perfect our wedding day was, it truly wouldn't have been the same without her and we cannot recommend her enough!

Janine was so kind and caring throughout the whole process and we really felt that she was there for us and genuinely cared about us as a couple. At each step she was very helpful in explaining everything and worked really hard to make our wedding exactly what we wanted! We have a very anxious dog that was attending our small intimate ceremony and we were a little worried about him disrupting the ceremony and becoming a little restless but Janine reassured us that she would work around him and not to worry. Turns out there was nothing to worry about anyways as as soon as we were all up there he lied down immediately and fell asleep listening to Janine and even cuddled up to Janine during the signing portion. She even encouraged our guests to give quiet clapping during the ceremony not to scare our dog which we all had a good laugh about!

Janine was such a lovely calm presence on the day and the part we thought we would hate the most turned out to one of our favourites. In every photo everyone is smiling ear to ear and laughing and its all thanks to Janine for delivering such a beautiful ceremony and for making everyone feel at home!

If we could give more stars we would, and again we really couldn't recommend her enough. Janine is definitely in the right profession and someone so special to have up there with you on one of the most important days in your life.

Thank you Janine! x

Heartfelt and funny - exactly what we wanted!

Janine gave such a heartfelt and meaningful ceremony for us which we will never forget.

On our wedding day, everyone came up to us to complement how great Janine's ceremony had been, and how much they had enjoyed her telling of our story. We were over the moon with how it went, it was so personal & funny, while still showing all of the emotions. Really, it was just exactly what we wanted.

Our sessions leading up to the wedding were so much fun, we often didn't realise just how long we'd been there! Janine came prepared with ideas, suggestions and general advice for how the ceremony could go. From these, to helping with our vows, we were never worried about any part of our ceremony, which was was a huge relief.

Janine really pours herself into her work, and it shows.

So gutted that we don't get to do it again!

Janine is the BEST!

From the minute we first spoke with Janine we knew we definitely wanted her to marry us. Janine is so warm and lovely, she was fantastic at accommodating all our wedding plans and was a joy to have around on the day itself. We felt like she was just another family member. We're so so glad we chose her and I honestly couldn't recommend her strongly enough. 10*s!

A Wonderful Celebrant!

We cannot recommend Janine highly enough. From our very first meeting, she was so warm, kind and genuinely invested in getting to know us as a couple. She took the time to learn our story, and the way she told it during our ceremony was so personal, heartfelt and beautifully delivered.

On the day itself, Janine conducted our ceremony flawlessly. Her calm, gentle and caring nature immediately put us at ease, and she created such a relaxed and emotional atmosphere. So many of our family and friends commented afterwards on how lovely the ceremony was and how perfectly it reflected us as a couple.

If you’re looking for a celebrant who truly cares about creating a ceremony that is unique, meaningful and unforgettable, we would wholeheartedly recommend Janine.

Thank you for being such an important part of our wedding day and making it so incredibly special. 🤍

Friendly, Professional and Personal

If you are looking for a celebrant for your wedding we can't recommend Janine enough! Right from the beginning she was professional and friendly. We were passed over to Janine due the celebrant we originally contacted retiring. It must have been fate as it couldn't have worked out better. She was lovely to deal with and gave us the option of having someone else if we wanted to but we had already got the feeling she would be perfect for our day. Through our calls and emails in the run up to the day Janine captured our story brilliantly. She also got the tone that we were looking for spot on as well, with her being completely open to adapting changing and styling it however we felt best represented us. On the day itself she was calm, organised and reassured us. Walked us through the motions and made us both feel ready for the big moment. If you want your ceremony to be handled with care and all the attention to detail captured then please contact Janine Ryan.

Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without Janine!!

From the 1st appointment to the alter Janine was so kind, caring and attentive every step of the way. She listened to us and truly cared about everything we had to say, this isn’t just a job to Janine she truly enjoys and cares for her couples and you can feel it!

Me and my HUSBAND said a million times over it wouldn’t have been the same without Janine, She gave me no room to stress as she answered all my worries very promptly. No questions was silly.

Janine didn’t treat us like a client we genuinely felt like friends, she is amazing at what she does and how she makes you feel so comfortable so standing together at the alter feels natural!

She even accommodated my beautiful dog for one of our meetings 🥰

It’s unfortunate (and fortunate 😂) I won’t need Janine again however I will be recommending her to absolutely anyone I know getting married!

Amazing...thank you, Janine!

We met Janine at an open day up Perthshire a few years back, after we just got engaged. We got talking and had a really good rapport and Janine helped us with questions we had at a very early stage in our engagement and wedding planning journey. We soon learned Janine was from the Central belt and having not chosen our venue yet, we kept this in mind. Fast forward a few weeks, we found our venue and immediately thought about the conversation we had with Janine and the rapport we created. I believe if you were only meeting Janine for the first time on your initial zoom call after booking, you would also be able to see what a kind and caring person she was, and that she is genuinely interested in your story.

Fast forward almost two and a half years and Janine married us. She captured our story perfectly and all of our guests said how the ceremony was perfect, and how Janine conducted an amazing and beautiful ceremony telling our story.

Thank you so much, Janine, for giving us the best day possible. It is something we will always remember and I would highly recommend Janine to anyone still looking for that perfect Humanist Celebrant for their big day!

The happiest day of our lives!

From our first zoom meeting with Janine we immediately felt at ease with her. We both agreed that we wanted her to conduct our ceremony. Through conversations and emails, Janine created a very personal ceremony which was totally bespoke to us. She told our story beautifully with humour and sensitivity. It was just perfect and was the happiest day of our lives.
Janine also talked through with us the legal aspects of getting married, what we had to do and when with regards to the paperwork required. Janine is very personable, professional and responsive. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Janine as your celebrant.

When dreams come true

Where do I start with Janine, she was absolutely brilliant from our first meeting, I think it is fair to say we clicked within the first 5 minutes over zoom. Janine managed to put us both at ease through every meeting and managed to get the most amazing responses from my husband on his earliest memories.
Janine listens and she absolutely delivered above and beyond our dreams with everything we requested, she also provided amazing touching ideas. We are a blended family and she involved the children from the offset but then managed to effortlessly ensure that the service was about the two of us. There wasn't a dry eye in the room and our guests were blown away about her service. We highly recommend xx

A wonderfully warm and authentic wedding ceremony

We are so glad that we chose Janine to deliver our wedding ceremony. As soon as we met her at a wedding fair she came across as such a warm and friendly person, who was so interested in getting to know us and learning our story. She took so much time and consideration in writing our ceremony script, including during the 2 hours we spent having a coffee getting to know each other and sharing everything that we wanted captured in our ceremony. The ceremony she delivered felt so personal and authentic, with a nice mix of lighthearted moments and emotional ones. We would 100% recommended Janine

Done Wedding

Janine was perfect on our day, she was so sweet when she came up to check on us in the bridal suite, my girls all commented on how nice she was and we have already recommended her to our friends who recently got engaged!

Our script was exactly what we wanted and she captured us so perfectly, it truly made our day even more special. All the help, kind words and calming presence throughout the whole planning process was exactly what we both needed on our special day and we will be forever grateful to Janine for helping make our day the best ever!
