Helensburgh Testimonial
First off can I just say how lovely Jane was, I hadn't a clue what to do with all the paperwork and she helped me through it all before the big day. We really felt comfortable saying our vows with her and it probably showed to our guests. Thank you so much for a lovely ceremony and anyone to have you at their wedding in the future is lucky to have you.'

Dunoon Testimonial
'We were married in an outdoor ceremony at Castle House in Dunoon, and it was so special; all thanks to the collective efforts of the registry team in Dunoon and Argyll Weddings and Events As we don't live in the area, our registrar Stephanie ensured there was communication at all times and made an effort to get to know us before the big day, to personalise our ceremony. We were able to tailor and proofread the ceremony beforehand, which allowed us to make it exactly what we wanted. As our cere

Mull Testimonial
We had an excellent experience with our registrar (Andrew Penny). He was very clear and helpful with all the necessary administration in the months before the wedding. On the day he was very accommodating with our choice of location and particular details we wanted in the ceremony. More than anything, we felt he was genuinely happy for us and to be there on our special day and we really appreciated that. We could not have asked for anything more.

Oban Testimonial
We were married on 10th December 2022 at the Brander Lodge Hotel near Taynuilt. Our Registrar, Catherine Dodds, was fantastic and put together a truly beautiful ceremony for us. The venue couldn’t have been more obliging, and our wintry photos in Connel are magical. Thank you to Argyll and Bute Registrars

Campbeltown Testimonial
We had the best day for our wedding on the 19th of November. Julie did a fantastic job of putting our ceremony together and made us feel very comfortable, the room was beautiful and Julie played the music I had requested for the day. On the lead up to the day Julie was great at answering any questions we had and kept us up to date and informed of everything we needed to know.

Lochgilphead Testimonial
We were blown away with the venue at Crear, our wedding day was magical. We had a couple of conversations by telephone with Lorna, our registrar, before our wedding day and she gave us all the information we needed, everything was really straight forward and the documentation easy to complete. On our very blustery wedding day, Lorna made us feel at ease throughout the ceremony. It was just the two of us, the ceremony was intimate & emotional, we couldn't have wished for more on such a perfect

As soon as a couple make contact and wish to book we add them to our diary and explain the paperwork/ceremony process to them.

We would then keep in regular contact to discuss the ceremony and the plans of the day.

One couple decided to arrange their marriage as a surprise for their guests, they had all gathered for a party and the couple walked in wearing a wedding dress and kilt. Was amazing being able to help them make this possible.

How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?
