Your questions...
How much does the average wedding cost and is there any restriction on the size or cost of weddings that you will undertake?
We have found that the average total cost of a wedding is £14,000. The Wedding Planner specialise in planning and coordinating your Scottish wedding no matter how small or how grand.
We want to get married in a couple of months. Is this possible?
Yes it is possible to arrange a wedding in a couple of months. We can arrange everything for you in this short timescale and you don’t have to sacrifice any of your ideas as a result.
We would like to have a civil ceremony but want to include some hymns & readings. Is this possible?
I really do not like the word NO, unfortunately though, very occasionally due to laws etc, it has to be said. A civil marriage must be totally secular & can have no religious content whatsoever. Neither must the building have any religious connections either past or present.
Having said all of this, the beauty of a civil ceremony is that you can personalise it and choose poems and music which have a special meaning for you both.
What are the legal requirements to marry in Scotland (frequently asked by overseas couples)?
Any two people, regardless of where they live may marry in Scotland providing they are over the age of 16, not related or of the same sex and are unmarried. There is no legal requirement to live in Scotland prior to the marriage. You will have to provide both original birth certificates/relevant divorce papers and complete Forms M10 (Marriage in Scotland), these are obtainable from any Registry Office on request. These papers, along with the fees have to be submitted to the registrar for the district in which the marriage is to take place at least one month prior to the wedding but not earlier than 3 months. If you are from abroad a Certificate of No Impediment (CONI) may also be required by the registrar (not all countries require this), any foreign documents will also require an English translation. The legal fee for a religious ceremony is £34 with a discretionary church donation in addition. Civil fees vary according to the numbers attending and the day of the week.
