Wedding Celebrant in Edinburgh
I'm Andy McWilliam, an award-winning wedding celebrant, and Edinburgh is one of my favourite places to marry couples. From city centre rooftops to castles on the outskirts, 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 quaich, 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 Edinburgh wedding: Claire and Graeme
Claire and Graeme married at Orocco Pier in South Queensferry on 8 August 2026. It happened to be gala day, so the streets outside were full of music and celebration, but the best event in town that day was inside. Claire was super nervous beforehand and then absolutely amazing once the ceremony began. Watch their full ceremony below.
Edinburgh venues I know well
I've conducted ceremonies at venues across Edinburgh and the Lothians, including:
- Orocco Pier, South Queensferry
- DoubleTree by Hilton Sky Lounge
- Ghillie Dhu
- The Caves
- Carlowrie Castle
- The Rowantree
- Dr Bell's Baths
If your venue isn't on the list, it doesn't matter. I'll travel to wherever you're getting married.
What couples say
"It was lighthearted and he carried humour throughout it all, exactly as we had wanted. He kept us both at ease and made us both feel super relaxed during the ceremony."
What it costs
Ceremonies start from £625 for 2027 weddings, with travel included anywhere within 100 miles of Glasgow, which covers all of Edinburgh and the Lothians. A £140 deposit secures your date. See my prices page for full details.
