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

My approach as an Award Winning, Internationally Acclaimed 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.

A perfect Celebrant, just how we wanted it

I can't rave about Andy McWilliam enough. We are not the average couple, been together 16 years and are not the lovely dovey type.
Andy got the brief and nailed it. He sailed through my anxiety outbursts and break downs and found a way to make our ceremony PERFECT
Everyone commented on how amazing he was and how he made it so very personal.

I wish I could have him host every event I go to.

It you are looking for someone who will listen to your ask and deliver over and above, then book Andy, you WILL NOT regret it. He is amazing

Could not have asked for a better celebrant!

Andy was absolutely fantastic and made our wedding ceremony as perfect as it could be. He was incredibly flexible in that we changed our venue and wedding date and he was able to accommodate this. Andy took the time to get to know myself and my husband well and this was reflected in his words during our ceremony. he incorporated a lot of humour into our wedding which was great as it was so fitting for who we are as a couple and what we wanted our wedding to be like. He took time to go through the ceremony with my husband so that he knew what to expect and exactly what it is he was to do during. Andy also spent some time with us after the ceremony and it was a great day, largely due to the fantastic ceremony held by Andy.

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!

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!)
