Frequently Asked Questions & Useful Websites

Q. We’ve been told that we may not be permitted to mention any reference to God in our ceremony – or include prayers or any sacred words or religious music. Is this true?
Our ceremonies are Agnostic, not Atheist.
We endorse no single belief or religion.
In addition to offering entirely secular ceremonies for those who prefer non-religious content, we also work with many families who wish to include some aspect of spirituality, faith-based content or sacred wording (even if they do not personally identify as being religious). Many mixed-faith families who wish to combine their beliefs into one ceremony also choose an agnostic ceremony.
Some families, even though they have opted for a secular ceremony, may want to include a hymn or sacred reading – perhaps because they are familiar with it from their upbringing, or because they feel that it is important for their attending family and friends.
We work with you to create a ceremony that reflects your choices, beliefs and values.
Q We, and our families, are not at all religious. Can we still book an Agnostic Scotland ceremony?
Absolutely! We are often asked to conduct entirely non-religious ceremonies for families who consider themselves to be secular or atheist in their beliefs. We are respectful of all beliefs, provided they adhere to our moral and ethical values and do no harm.
How far afield would you travel?
I am based in Ayr, South Ayrshire and can happily travel throughout Scotland.
I am delighted to offer legal Marriage and Civil Partnership ceremonies across Scotland as well as non-legal ceremonies such as Vow Renewals, Naming ceremonies, Memorials, Funerals and Life Celebrations throughout the UK and beyond.
