Last update: June 2025

Hello! I'm absolutely delighted to be doing what I love, working as a wedding celebrant. Now in my eighth year, I've had the joy of helping many wonderful couples celebrate one of life's most special milestones. Every couple, every story, and every ceremony is unique—and I consider it a real privilege to be part of that journey.

Warm, friendly, and always up for a laugh, I bring a relaxed yet professional energy to every ceremony. I believe a wedding should be joyful, heartfelt, and, most importantly, a true reflection of the couple at the heart of it. Whether you're dreaming of something light-hearted and fun or something more traditional and romantic, I'll work closely with you to create a ceremony that feels just right.

Getting to know you is one of the best parts of my job. I love hearing about how you met, the adventures you've shared, and what's brought you to this moment. Your story is the inspiration behind the ceremony I write crafted with care, personality, and meaning.

I'm proud to be inclusive and LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome all couples with open arms. Before you decide to book, I'm always happy to meet for a friendly, no-pressure chat so you can get a feel for how I work.

If we do go ahead together, I'll guide you through the legal requirements and send over plenty of inspiration from traditional elements to unique symbolic touches like handfasting, the quaich, ring warming, and more. We'll meet about six months before your wedding to shape your ceremony, allowing plenty of time for tweaks along the way.

I'm prompt with communication, happy to answer any questions, and on the big day itself, I'll be there well in advance to connect with your team of suppliers, welcome your guests, and help everything run smoothly.
It's your day, your way and I'm here to help make it memorable, meaningful, and full of joy.

Perfect for a personal ceremony

Jean worked with us to conduct our wedding ceremony in May 2025. It was an absolute pleasure working with her. We shared our story with Jean and she transformed it into a beautiful and personal ceremony, along with hints and tips which helped us choose readings, vows and ceremonies (we chose hand fasting) to make it truly our own. We had laughter, (happy) tears and loving moments throughout and Jean really helped spread all this positivity throughout the room which is exactly what we wanted. Jean was so kind and organised throughout, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Thank you for helping us create memories we will cherish forever!

Jean, it was an absolute pleasure to have you conduct our wedding ceremony after knowing you for so many years so thank you very much. You were super organised and had excellent communication which meant we were well prepared ahead of the big day and you made sure everything went to plan. We cannot fault a single aspect - thank you SO much for being so professional, friendly and making the whole service special and focused on what we wanted. I would highly recommend Jean to everyone!! Thanks again, we are so grateful for all you did for us! Shona & Euan Wheeler x

A Heartfelt Thank You to Jean

We couldn't be happier with the incredible ceremony Jean prepared and delivered for our wedding in Edinburgh in September 2024. As a gay male couple from New York, we truly valued how Jean took the time to get to know us, both individually and as a couple. This dedication shone through in every aspect of the ceremony, which was filled with so many personal touches and a wonderful sense of humor that perfectly reflected our personalities.

Jean was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Her warmth and professionalism made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. We received countless compliments from our guests about how beautiful and unique the ceremony was, and many remarked on how perfectly Jean captured our story.

We wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Jean to anyone looking for a truly special and memorable wedding ceremony. She is simply the best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
