Wonderful celebrant
Maureen was wonderful from start to finish. She was so calm and reassuring throughout the whole process, which really helped us feel at ease in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day itself.
She took the time to get to know us and created a ceremony that felt personal and completely “us”. So many of our guests commented on how relaxed and meaningful it was.
Maureen was professional, organised and easy to communicate with, and we felt she offered great value for money. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding.

Couldn’t recommend enough 🥰
We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. From the very beginning, Maureen made the whole lead-up to the day feel easy and stress-free. On the day itself, they made us feel completely at ease and genuinely happy, which meant everything to us. The ceremony was beautiful, personal, and perfectly “us.” We’re so grateful and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Fantastic!
From the very first meeting we knew we wanted Maureen to conduct our ceremony. She was very professional, communication throughout the lead up to our ceremony was on point. We had a bit of a laugh, the way she conducted our ceremony was brilliant, lighthearted, a few laughs but most importantly, she focused on us and our family.
Thank you for giving us a memorable day!

Maureen Sweeney
After meeting Maureen at a wedding fayre I knew she was the one for us. She was easy to talk to and after our first video call meeting she knew exactly what we were wanted for our ceremony.
Maureen was absolutely fantastic from first booking her until our big day finally arrived in July ‘25. She was in regular contact with us throughout and kept us up to date on when forms had to be completed and handed in.
On our big day, all our guests commented on how it was such a lovely service especially with us choosing to do a hand-fasting which Maureen prepared us for on our final meeting so everything ran smoothly on the day.
We would highly recommend all future brides and grooms contact Maureen.
Thankyou so much for making our day special

Married With Laughter, Thanks to Maureen
Maureen was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From our initial call way back in 2023/24, Maureen cracked the jokes and made us laugh- the perfect fit for our wedding day. Maureen made us feel so special, and spent the time learning all about us, and settling our nerves.
After a few calls, Maureen created our wedding script and for us to okay it- it was perfect first time!
Our final meeting, we went over our hand fasting, and spoke through all the details ensuring nothing was missed.
On the day, Maureen was there early, paid the bridal party a visit in the suite upstairs and visited the grooms party, totally relaxing us both and bringing the laughs.
The ceremony was amazing. The right amount of laughs, but also emotional and loving. Our dog Callie was apart of the ceremony too, who started growling during our “I do’s”- Maureen with her witty humour, cracked a joke and the place loved it.
Maureen has been amazing this full process, and we would definitely recommend her!
An amazing woman🩷

Amazing Celebrant!
We booked Maureen for our big day & couldn’t be happier with our choice! From the first message to meeting on the day she was more than we could have hoped for & a perfect fit for us - a mixture of laughter and professionalism that is unmatched! She was super friendly and helpful and always available when/if we needed her for anything at any time. She made us feel like we’d known her for years and our guests commented on how much she was able to command the room & make everyone feel at ease which is just what we wanted! Thank you so much Maureen, you are amazing!
Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t be disappointed! X

Outstanding!
From our 1st video call, we instantly knew that we wanted you to be the one who shares our story and officiate us becoming Mr and Mrs Berry. Throughout our wedding journey you were always on hand even for the smallest of thing and always very pleasant. You made us feel at ease and never did we feel too serious. You captured us perfectly even with our quirky Quaich. We thank you very much.
Mr and Mrs Berry.

Look no further!!
I don't even know where to begin so, I guess firstly by saying a massive thank you to Maureen for making our service so special, unique and exactly what we hoped for and more!
From the moment we met Maureen to our big hug goodbye she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made everything leading up to our day feel effortless and stress free. She kept in regular contact and sent updates to keep us organised, making sure we didn't miss deadlines or important details. Maureen tailored our ceremony exactly as we hoped and made it so fun, relaxed and interesting. She told our story so beautifully with humour and love which all of our guests had commented on. When we first met Maureen she instantly made us feel relaxed, welcomed and excited for our day. She sent over our ceremony script to read through and when asked to alter and add in extra bits she did this so promptly with no hesitation. She also, very kindly met us the day before for our rehearsal which was amazing as it gave everyone an idea of how things would be on the day. She wanted our day to be perfect as much as we did and she did just that. It's so clear how much love and passion she has for her job and she really goes above and beyond to cater to all your desires. We're both so happy to have found and have had Maureen as our Humanist Celebrant and I have no doubt that she will make her next couple as happy as us! I cannot recommend Maureen enough, she's simply brilliant as a Celebrant and as a person. I mean it when I say 'look no further', this woman is the best ❤️ thank you again for everything!

The perfect fit for our day
What a fabulous lady Maureen is,
I initially booked Maureen on Hitch after watching many short clips from different Humanists across Scotland. We instantly liked Maureen’s vibe.
From when we booked her service far in advance to the days running up to the wedding Maureen was always at the end of the phone to help.
She was prompt in her responses and never made you feel silly for asking what feels like silly questions at the time.
We loved how we had video call meetings so we could get to know one another and luckily we did indeed get on very well.
Fast forward to our wedding day Maureen could not have done a better job in capturing our love story and producing it beautifully into our ceremony through her quick wit and charm. Not forgetting throwing a few laughs in there which was well received by our wedding guests.
She had us feeling so comfortable and at ease during the ceremony it really helped with the nerves.
Myself and my new husband would like to thank Maureen again for being such an important part of our day and making it that extra bit special.
We wish you all the best
