Legal Requirements
As well as having some of THE best places to marry on the planet, we are very fortunate that there is no legal residency requirement in Scotland. This makes life very easy for couples coming from outwith the UK to get married in Scotland. They can even get married the day they arrive if they want to! (Not that we'd recommend this, but it's true - providing all of their Marriage paperwork has been previously lodged in good time of course!)
The legal procedures are fairly straight forward and we will guide and assist you through all of the legalities to ensure that everything is in place when you get here.
Types of Ceremony
There are various types of ceremony you can have depending on your beliefs and circumstances and with your input and ideas, we can arrange the perfect marriage ceremony for you.
Religious Ceremonies
These can of course take place in a Scottish Church, but we can also arrange for a Minister to marry you in another venue such as a Castle, Country House, Hotel, Boat, Lighthouse etc etc. Providing the place is respectful to the Church, we can usually arrange a religious ceremony for you just about anywhere!
Civil Ceremonies
Previously, it was only possible to have a civil ceremony in a
Registrars Office, It is now possible to have a Civil ceremony in a
large variety of venues so long as they have a Civil Licence. We can
assist you in finding the perfect venue for you and your civil Scottish
Wedding Ceremony.
Humanist Ceremonies
Humanist ceremonies are now legal in Scotland without the need to have a Registrar present. For those who don't want a religious ceremony or a civil one, we now have the option of a Humanist Ceremony. The Humanist Ceremony can be tailored totally to how you'd like it with your own choice of readings, vows and music.
As with all types of ceremony, it's about making it as meaningful and personal to you as possible. This is your special day where you make your committment to each other and celebrate that committment. We along with the rest of our team of suppliers are here to make sure that your day goes just how you want it to.
Weddings really are made easy with Scottish Wedding Consultants!
