About

Welcome

From customized ceremonies to traditional vows, from ancient traditions and hand fastings, to modern day non-denominational services, I can provide a unique experience for you. Each ceremony is as special as the couple making a commitment and it would be an honor to officiate on your special day.

As a native of Scotland, I have lived, learned and practiced the old Celtic traditions and have incorporated them into modern day ceremonies. I would love to create a special and meaningful ceremony for you.

I also conduct traditional marriage ceremonies tailored for each occasion, incorporating family traditions and cultural elements. Every ceremony I officiate is as unique and special as the couple making a comittment .

From pinning of the Tartan to the wonderful quaich loving cup and all the variations of these traditions, we can tailor a ceremony that will be memorable for you and your guests. I have performed ceremonies in many countries from Scotland to Cyprus to the Colorado Rockies, and I would be happy to travel far and wide to make your day as special as you are.

I am Licensed, Ordained and a Notary Public

Best Officiant Ever

We cannot recommend Catriona enough. From our first email, phone call and our meetings and everything in between she was welcoming warm and attentive to details. Catriona made sure that we were prepared in every aspect of our ceremony down to our custom vows and our quiach (and what to fill it with) 😊. Our guests were touched and impressed by the unique Scottish ceremony. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a wonderful officiant and person.

Warm-hearted, sweet, caring person

We appreciated her warm heart and being open to creating a beautiful ceremony that combined each of our heritages (Scottish/Jewish). Not only did she meet in person to get to know us, she made herself available for a rehearsal of the entire ceremony since we needed it timed perfectly. Highly recommended!

Look no Further

Catriona is experienced, personal and professional. She made the whole process so easy and she was inspirational in helping us create a memorable ceremony. The Handfasting ritual was a beautiful touch. She provides much more value than her modest fee.

Knot Tying Ceremony

I was privileged to have Catriona to preside over my knot tying ceremony for my wife and I. She was quick to contact us and reply when I had questions. I was an amazing experience. Thank you Catriona.

Such a special experience

I had a perfect experience with this ceremony. My girlfriend and I did a hand fastening 2 years ago at a highland festival. Last year my girlfriend couldn’t make it to the festival, but I was still able to get another cord so we could do the hand fastening again. I can’t recommend this enough. Everything about the experience was so special!

Handfasting and hen party - fantastic!

Catriona arranged the” hen party” and officiated at our Handfasting. It was amazing!
From John (the groom): It was fun jumping over the fire, and amazing to see how the “hens” dressed up my wife-to-be. It was great having friends and relatives join together in such a festive atmosphere. Performing an age-old ceremony gave meaning and authenticity to this wonderful event.
From Meg (the bride): Our hen party and hand-fasting were a tremendous amount of fun for everyone. Catriona thought of every detail and it was perfect! Magical, memorable, meaningful, fantastic icebreaker, perfect combination of ancient and modern. I still get goosebumps remembering us jumping the fire and being hand-fasted! I can’t help feeling that my Scottish granny and great-auntie were there in spirit, smiling in the firelight. Unforgettable. We are still happily married many years later!! Many thanks!

Warm, Personal & Heartfelt Vow Renewal

We met Catriona at a Scottish Festival. We wanted to renew our vows since it was our 40th anniversary. She was genuinely excited for us and made her service was very warm and personable. It was meaningful for both of us. The handfasting was a perfect touch. I would recommend her to anyone.
