Wedding Celebrant in Glasgow
I'm Andy McWilliam, an award-winning wedding celebrant based in Newton Mearns, just outside Glasgow. I've married couples all over the city, from grand hotels to back 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 quaich, a candle lighting, or something you've dreamt up yourselves. 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.
Glasgow venues I know well
I've conducted ceremonies at venues right across Glasgow, including:
The Busby Hotel — a favourite on the south side, with the ceremony room, bar, balcony and guest rooms all on one level, which is ideal if you have relatives who need everything close by
Boclair House
Bridge Gardens
The Collectors Hall
Knowing a venue means I know how the room works, where the light falls and how to make the day run smoothly. If yours isn't on the list, it doesn't matter. I'll travel to wherever you're getting married.
A recent Glasgow wedding: Michaela and Liam
Michaela and Liam married at the Busby Hotel in September, and it was a fantastic day. For their handfasting, they tied the knot using a piece of Michaela's dress alongside tartan to match Liam's kilt. They spoke their own vows, and both mums lit the unity candle together.
The best part? At the very start of their relationship, they'd promised each other there would be "no catching feelings". Safe to say that didn't quite go to plan, and their guests loved hearing all about it.
What it costs
Ceremonies start from £625 for 2027 weddings, with travel included anywhere within 100 miles of Glasgow. A £140 deposit secures your date. See my prices page for full details.
