Your wedding day is a huge occasion, and your ceremony should be nothing less than extraordinary.

My approach as your wedding Celebrant goes beyond simply planning an event—I take the time to truly get to know you, building a meaningful connection to craft a ceremony that’s a genuine reflection of your love story.

What You Get - one thing I can promise is that your ceremony won’t be boring! It will be full of fun and laughter. Whether your wedding is in the fanciest hotel; on the banks of Loch Lomond; or it’s just the two of you up a hill somewhere, I will make it special and all about you.

I have a huge amount of experience as a wedding celebrant having conducted over 150 weddings in Scotland and internationally. I specialise in elopements and Destination Scotland weddings for couples coming to Scotland from abroad. See Google reviews for over 100, 5-star comments.

I’m used to the pressure as well, having worked in homicide investigations as a Detective for 30 years and my other passion football, where I have officiated as an Assistant Referee and VAR official in over 200 Premiership matches in Scotland.

From our first conversation to your wedding day, I’ll be by your side, helping to shape a celebration that’s not just beautiful, but deeply personal. With warmth, professionalism, and a personal touch, I’m dedicated to making your day as unforgettable as the love you share.

Felt like it was written just for us 💖

From the first moment we met Andy, he made us feel comfortable and listened to. He really understood us as a couple, and that came through in every part of the ceremony. It was so special, and our friends and family loved it too!

A truly personal and memorable ceremony!

Andy made sure to understand who we are as a couple, and it really showed in the ceremony. It was intimate, unique, and exactly what we envisioned. Highly recommended!

Incredible ceremony, really got who we were 😊 So many guests commented.

It was really reassuring Andy took the time to get to know us and this came across in the ceremony. It was exactly what we wanted and we couldn’t recommend highly enough.

A Great Person & Celebrant

We are so glad we chose Andy as our wedding celebrant. He is a smiley, quietly confidant guy ; just what you need to lead your wedding ceremony. He implemented requests to personalise our ceremony , with ease. Super professional and calming throughout our whole experience from first meeting to conducting the ceremony itself. Lovely person.

Destination Scotland Wedding

My husband and I went to Scotland to celebrate our 15th anniversary, we were beyond blessed to have the opportunity to have Andy McWilliam perform our renewal ceremony at Ross Fountain. This trip was a lifelong dream of my husbands, as his great grandfather was born in Edinburgh Castle. Ross Fountain is just below the castle and it was perfect! The photographer Anastasia was phenomenal and got every shot I dreamed of. My husband got to wear his great grandfather’s kilt and like I said we were matched with Andy, who put the icing on the cake, with such a lovely, truly personalized touch to our ceremony. He combined the ring ceremony with the handfasting ceremony beautifully. It was so much more than I even dreamed of imagined. I’m a little nervous and shy and even with a crowd watching, he managed to help make me feel as if my husband and I were the only ones that existed.
Thank you Andy for an unforgettable day!

Fantastic Ceremony Full of Fun

Andy was fantastic start to finish - from an early zoom call to explain all our options for our wedding ceremony to a coffee catch up to get to the nitty gritty details he was attentive and set our nerves at ease; he was also great at answering any emails and anxious questions at any time along the way.
The ceremony itself was a fantastic mix of humour and sentimentality and he guided the whole wedding party through their roles for a smooth afternoon which allowed us all to relax and enjoy his hard work!
Thanks again Andy, we'll be sure to have you top of the list for any future celebrations (or if Sean decides he wants to 'tie the knot' with me for a third time haha!)

The Perfect Wedding Ceremony

Andy was celebrant at our small, intimate wedding. The ceremony he performed was wonderful, we couldn’t ask for better one. We had laughter and tears and ooooooh’s :) Andy really made it special. Our guests loved it and I am sure it will stay in theirs and our memories forever🥰

A lovely guy named Andy!

Well what can I say? We spent a considerable amount of time searching for the perfect Celebrant and we are so glad we found Andy. He was in regular contact with us for months in advance of the ceremony and helped us write our vows and our story. When it came to submitting our marriage forms he again came to the rescue and helped us. Andy is just a lovely guy who seems to seriously enjoy his work. He is so easy to get along with and he had the guests in stitches throughout the ceremony. A massive thanks to an amazing Celebrant

Simply the Best

Andy was totally amazing as our wedding celebrant. He brought everything to to table - from a beautifully told love story, romantic vows and funny stories which our guests loved, all topped off with traditional Handfasting and drinking from the Quaich which our English family had never seen before.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Perfect evening

Our wedding day was just perfect. Andy delivered the ceremony exactly in line with what we were looking for - romance, fun and good banter. Our guests were crying, then laughing and Andy’s ceremony was a hot topic of conversation throughout the evening. He was so good that 2 of my friends have now booked him!

Incredible Wedding

Andy is an incredible individual who just made our whole day so special. All our guests commented on how funny the ceremony was and both of us couldn’t stop laughing. If you are looking for a laid back wedding ceremony with lots of laughs along the way I would strongly recommend Andy.

Andy was the perfect fit for our wedding

He was flexible & patient with us when we needed it. And ultimately set the tone, & created a flawless start, for our wedding. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the ceremony immediately after, during our canapés hour. (The most common question was how long we had known Andy, assuming someone who 'knew' us this well and our sense of humor, was actually someone we'd known for a long time. And the other question was if Andy was our friend, again for the reason above.) Even weeks later we hear how amazing the ceremony was, and it wouldn't have been so without Andy. I cannot sing his praises enough. And if I could get married many times, I'd choose him over & over. We were so, so lucky to have found him.

Helped make the wedding perfect

Andy was not the only celebrant we contacted however we made an instant connection. He was easy to talk to and explained the process while giving us suggestions on how we could personalise our big day. He kept in contact with us and replied promptly to all our questions.
On the wedding day he was there early to reassure and ensure everything was in place. He carried out the wedding in a warm and friendly manner allowing us to be the stars.
