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!

We ❤️ Janine

Janine was the first person we booked when we started planning our wedding and she was a complete joy to work with from beginning to end. Throughout the process of planning our ceremony, she was so knowledgeable and professional, answering all of our silly questions. It really put our mind at ease knowing she would be standing up there with us on the day! Janine really took the time to get to know us as a couple and that shone through our ceremony - it was pitch perfect and gave us so many special memories to look back on forever. She really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, both in the run up to the day and on the day itself (even stopping by in the morning while we were getting ready to have a last minute chat through of what to expect)! Thank you Janine for all you did for us. We hope that we never have cause to get married again, but if we do, we’ll be calling on your services again!

Findlay Wedding Day

Janine created a beautiful wedding ceremony for us which told our story in a fun and relaxed way. There were some jokes as well as some emotional moments. She was happy to create a ceremony that we wanted and supported us with ideas. We both felt at ease on the day as she ensured everyone knew what they were doing and we all felt prepared.
An amazing celebrant who any couple would be very luck to have ❤️🥹 Thanks again! You have left us with great memories which we will always treasure!

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.

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.
