Truly beautiful ceremony

We could not have asked for a more beautiful ceremony. Hamish officiated our Jackson Hole wedding ceremony and every piece of it was touching. You can tell how much thought & care was put into the reading. We were able to add in personal vows too which was great. We had so many guests say it was the best ceremony they have witnessed and we could not agree more. Hamish was always quick to respond and a joy to work with.

Beautiful Service! Highly Recommend.

Hamish gracefully officiated our outdoor 90 person wedding in Wilson, WY, July 2021.
BOOKING AND PLANNING: From the get-go Hamish was genuinely friendly, warm-hearted, and professional. His email communications had a way of making me smile because he conveyed sincere interest and care for our upcoming nuptials. Conveniently, Hamish provided a menu of ceremony dialogue options for us to choose from, and he also allowed us to modify and add our personal touches. Communication was always timely and personalized.
CEREMONY: Hamish was punctual, smartly dressed, well-prepared, and delivered a well-articulated ceremony. His calming demeanor and eloquent way of speaking were soothing to my excited jitters. It was clear he had prepared for the occasion and that he holds many officiating experiences.
POST CEREMONY: Hamish personally submitted our signed marriage license to the county, allowing us to free our minds from carrying out that task ourselves. My husband and I are thoroughly satisfied with and thankful for Hamish's services and recommend inviting him to unite any couple in marriage.

Wedding Vows in Town Square :)

Hamish was fantastic! The vows written expressed perfectly what we felt. We found him from a listing provided to us on-line via the justice of the peace. They responded quickly, and were flexible in when and where to meet. We got an appointment within a couple of hours :)

Very courteous, patient, and professional!

Hamish was great! We have a very small ceremony with 4 guests, two of which were supposed to arrive early to set up an arbor. They ran late and when I arrived with Hamish and my other guests, Hamish was so kind and patient with them. He even went out his way to assist in setting the arbor up. Overall the experience was lovely and intimate with a beautiful background.

Excellent please see review and have a nice day.

We were absolutely pleased with the location, ceremony and professionalism provided and would recommend his services to anyone looking for an elopement wedding such as ours. Hammish was very accommodating to our needs and short notice changes! We could not have asked for a better ceremony other than the Lear jet flying over our video recorded nuptials .

The Beautiful Schwabacher's Landing

We had a short little wedding at Schwabacher's Landing with the most amazing views of The Grand Tetons. Our kids were our only guests and only one being of age so Hamish had his wife present so we were able to have our 2 witnesses. Both Hamish and his wife, Rochelle, were so great!!! Thank you again :)

Amazing!!!

We are from Florida and did a small destination wedding in the Grand Tetons. Hamish was the perfect choice to Officiate our wedding! He helped us with ease through the steps we would need to take for getting our permit, license and vows in order along with helping us choose the perfect spot! We ran into some issues when the Covid pandemic hit, and he didn't miss a beat to come up with secondary plans if they were needed. Thank you so much Hamish for making sure my day was perfect ❤

Lovely officiant!

Hamish was the perfect officiant for us. He officiated at our wedding in the Tetons this August and was absolutely wonderful. We loved working with Hamish in advance, exchanging via email (we're on the east coast) ideas and inspirations for our Wyoming wedding. Hamish was attentive, thoughtful, and highly organized, which goes a long way towards reducing stress. He's a very nice person, and he cuts an impressive figure to boot. He looks like a young John Muir, another Scottish transplant with a love of the American West. We could not have been more delighted!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have had the opportunity to work with Hamish as he officiated weddings I was hired to photograph. I was very impressed by Hamish’s professional dress and ease of conduct during the ceremony. He is detailed in the planning and officiating of the ceremony, as well as the paperwork that accompanies a marriage. The ceremonies are secular/non-religious and have a very natural flow to them. The elopements I’ve witnessed him perform are earthy and authentic and intimate. I highly, and happily, recommend Hamish to all my inquiries as my officiant of choice to work with. You will be pleased with your experience with Hamish as your officiant.
