It’s not every day you get to celebrate 20 years of marriage with a personalized vow renewal ceremony; and we wouldn’t change a thing!
Thank you for making our day so special and memorable. Your direction, your kindness, and your attention to every detail was truly amazing. The way you seamlessly incorporated our ideas with traditional Scottish elements was so beautiful.
If you are reading this review and are wondering if you should go with Catriona, do yourself and your partner a huge favor say “We found our celebrant!” You will not be disappointed.

Reply from Catriona Tanner Wedding Celebrant
Thank you Brian, it was wonderful working with you on your surprise ceremony. I loved being able to create such a personal celebration for you both - using the Fraser tartan for the handfasting! The personal vows you shared were beautiful - and I'm so thrilled you wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for your kind words and wonderful recommendation. x
What do you love most about your job?
I absolutely love working with couples to create a wedding ceremony which is all about them! I love hearing all the details....from first dates to romantic proposals and what they love about each other. I love being able to offer couples choice, so they can have the ceremony they want and not what they think they 'should' have. But above all, I love being the person who can legally marry you and celebrate your love, life and commitment.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was inspired to train as a wedding celebrant while working at a gorgeous wedding venue and witnessing how individual and creative celebrant-led weddings can be. It was a light bulb moment for me and I haven't looked back!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can meet online for our initial discussions and ceremony planning, however we'll all need to be there in person on the big day!

Wedding Vow Renewals
A vow renewal ceremony is the chance to celebrate your ongoing love, your family and the life you’ve built together. You can renew your original wedding vows or create new vows that reflect your story as a married couple.
Whether you’re celebrating 1 year, 10 or 25 years of marriage, your ceremony can include music, readings, stories and symbolic gestures. For many couples it’s a chance to have the wedding you really wanted but couldn’t have! Always wished you could shimmy down the aisle in front of family and friends? Let’s do it! Or simply renew your vows with a relaxed & intimate ceremony. Wherever you wish to renew your wedding vows, we’ll work together and create a ceremony which celebrates your love and your life, in a way that’s absolutely you.
Baby Naming Ceremony
A baby naming ceremony celebrates the birth of your baby, or a child joining your family, in a non-religious ceremony. It’s the perfect excuse to gather all your favourite people together to celebrate your growing tribe!
A ceremony to welcome your baby can include readings, stories & music as well as cultural or symbolic rituals. Want to share the story behind your baby’s name? Or include ‘guide-parents’, grandparents or hold the ceremony in your garden? You can! That’s the beauty of a celebrant-led ceremony – we’ll work together and create a celebration which is completely personal, bursting with happiness and especially meaningful to you.
