Wedding Celebrant in Ayrshire
I'm Andy McWilliam, an award-winning wedding celebrant based just outside Glasgow, and Ayrshire is home to some of my favourite wedding venues in Scotland. Coastal hotels, country houses and riverside gardens, and every ceremony I write is built around one thing: you.
A ceremony that sounds like you
No templates and no borrowed scripts. We start with a relaxed chat about how you met, what you love about each other and how you want the day to feel. Then I write a ceremony that's yours alone, with as much laughter or emotion as suits you. Handfasting, your own vows, a sand ceremony, a candle lighting, or something entirely your own. We'll build it in.
Legal, with no registrar needed
As a Marriage Officer with Celebrants Scotland, I can legally marry you anywhere in Scotland. The ceremony I conduct is your legal marriage, so there's no separate trip to the registry office. You give notice to your local registrar using the M10 form, and I'll guide you through exactly what's needed and when.
A recent Ayrshire wedding: Daniella and Alexander
Daniella and Alexander married at Brig O' Doon in Ayr on 17 May 2026. It was an emotional day, and the ceremony built to a beautiful sand ceremony with their daughter Amelia, the three of them pouring their sand together into one. Afterwards, the gardens were looking just perfect in the Ayrshire sunshine for their photos.
What couples say
"Andy didn't just conduct our wedding, he created an atmosphere where we all felt safe, seen and celebrated."
Ayrshire venues I know well
I've conducted ceremonies at venues across Ayrshire, including:
- Brig O' Doon, Ayr

If your venue isn't on the list, it doesn't matter. I'll travel to wherever you're getting married.
