Hello and a warm welcome! I’m Rhona McLachlan, a legally authorised celebrant based in beautiful Inchinnan, Renfrewshire.

I am honoured to create and conduct bespoke weddings, funerals, naming ceremonies, vow renewals, and memorials. Every ceremony I craft is centred on the people I am privileged to serve — their stories, their journeys, and their wishes.

As an ITOL-certified End of Life Practitioner, I also offer sensitive support for families during some of life’s most important and emotional moments. I believe that every ceremony, whether a celebration of love or a farewell, deserves to be heartfelt, unique, and unforgettable.

Three Key Points:
Based in Inchinnan, Renfrewshire — always happy to travel! I love a good road trip and will gladly journey across Scotland (or beyond) to be part of your special day.

Passionate About:
I’m passionate about creating ceremonies that are truly personal, weaving in your stories, traditions, and values to ensure every moment feels meaningful and authentic.

Three Words to Describe Me:
Warm | Compassionate | Supportive

My life’s journey has taken me to amazing places like Hamburg, Saudi Arabia, and Shanghai. Living amongst such a diverse range of people and cultures opened my eyes — and my heart — to the richness of different traditions and beliefs. It’s a spirit I carry into every ceremony I create. While my German may be a little out of practice these days, I’m always willing to brush up if needed, and I’ve loved incorporating different languages into ceremonies when asked.

From large funeral services filled with hundreds of lives touched, to small, intimate ceremonies, I tailor each event with care and compassion. Weddings are all about the couple — it’s your day, your way. Whether it’s a ceremony up a hill, in a garden, under the stars, or inside a grand venue, I’m there to support you, adapt to the setting, and make it feel effortlessly ‘you’.
When you choose me as your celebrant, you’ll find someone who genuinely listens, puts your wishes first, and works with warmth and flexibility to shape something truly special. I believe the ceremony is the heart of the day — it should be full of love, laughter, and moments that stay with you forever. It’s an absolute privilege to be part of these milestones and memories, and I look forward to helping create yours.

RHONA WAS AMAZING AT OUR WEDDING Rhona married us on 7th June 2024 at The Radstone Hotel. From the moment we met Rhona at the Braehead wedding show we knew that we didn’t want anyone else marrying us. I was so relieved when Rhona said she was available on our date. She was down to earth, kind, honest and she got our sense of humour. On the wedding day it felt like she was part of our family. We both felt at ease with Rhona marrying us. She answer our questions and was always in contact to reassure us. She made our day better than we could ever imagined. We would definitely recommend!! 10/10 Thank you for everything you done for us Rhona!! Love the Shaws xxx

AMAZING 10/10 😀 We had an amazing one of a kind wedding and it wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing humanist, Rhona McLachlan. She was everything we could have hoped for and helped guide us in making the perfect ceremony. You could tell she was very passionate about her job and cared about making our day exactly how we imagined. She was fantastic at helping ease our nerves and answered any questions we had, it was out first time being married after all 😛 The way she was able to compose and tell our love story was truly remarkable and a memory that we will cherish forever. Our day truly won’t have been the same without her! Thank you so much for everything, Love Jamie & Ildi xx

5 STAR SERVICE I cannot thank Rhona enough for her support at my mother’s funeral. Rhona went above and beyond to give a personal, dignified, and compassionate service that my mum would have loved. From experience at my father’s funeral too, I know Rhona is consistent with her high quality and professional service. From all of the Scott family, we thank you very much.

MORAG & ANDREW WEDDING We would just like to say a massive thank you to Rhona for agreeing to be our celebrant. She made us feel so relaxed from first contact. On the day she made us both feel at ease and she captured all that we felt was important to us as a couple. There was a light heartedness and a few laughs too, which really made for a lovely ceremony. Thanks Rhona x
