Hello and let me introduce myself!
I am a Scottish Celebrant based in Glasgow and love meeting people , listening to their stories, writing the ceremony and marrying them!
let me help you write your story!
To get married in Scotland, you typically need to:
- Choose a Venue: Select a venue that is approved for marriages, which can include hotels, castles, or even outdoors.
- Submit Notice of Marriage: File a notice of marriage at the local registrar’s office. This is a legal requirement and should be done at least 29 days before the wedding.
- Provide Necessary Documents: Bring required documents, such as passports, birth certificates, and proof of address, to the registrar.
- Witnesses: Have two witnesses present at the ceremony, and they must be at least 16 years old.
- Officiant: You can choose a religious or civil ceremony, and an authorized celebrant or registrar will conduct it.
- Legal Requirements: Ensure you meet legal requirements, like being at least 16 years old, not being closely related, and not already being married.
- Marriage Schedule: Obtain a marriage schedule from the registrar no earlier than 7 days before the wedding. It must be returned after the ceremony for the marriage to be officially recorded.
Always check with the local registrar for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
