Human, compassionate, your story teller.
I’m a Celebrant based in East Lothian, working across Edinburgh, The Lothians and the Scottish Borders, and I’m passionate about helping people create meaningful, inclusive and personal ceremonies. After many years in the corporate world — primarily in Information and Records Management within the NHS and local councils — I chose to step back and bring more purpose into my life. That shift has allowed me to focus on what matters most to me: human connection, compassion and storytelling.
I live in North Berwick, where my wife and I have been happily settled for more than 29 years. We may not be considered locals yet, but we’re well known for our legendary BBQs and our involvement in various local and national associations. I also have two grown‑up daughters who keep life interesting.
When I’m not crafting ceremonies, you’ll often find me under the bonnet of my 1968 MG Midget classic car, which occasionally makes an appearance at events — weather permitting.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, funeral, naming ceremony or milestone celebration, I’d be honoured to help you shape a ceremony that feels authentic, heartfelt and true to you. I’m available for ceremonies locally and further afield.
If you’d like to chat or find out more, please feel free to get in touch.
