Lorna Wilson – Registrar for Lochgilphead 

Based in – Lochgilphead

Started in Registration – May 2010

Holds the Certificate of Proficiency in the Practice of Law and Registration

“I have been working in Local Authority since 1991 and moved to the registration service in 2010. I love coming to work; every day is a new day, it is a wonderful job and I feel very privileged. Registration gives you the chance to work with people, friends, neighbours and colleagues, from helping couples create their ceremony to the day its self, and no two ceremonies are the same. Argyll and Bute has some of the most beautiful scenery Scotland has to offer, we are fortunate to have amazing Registrars conducting ceremonies in our venues, beaches, castles, and outdoors which attracts couples from all over the world. Working in registration is like working with your family but more fun!”

Thank you to Lorna who helped us celebrate our special day. We were so lucky to be the first couple to be married at Kilmory castle. And all we can say is it’s a beautiful room/venue to host a small wedding. We loved all the characteristic features, the staircase, the gardens and just the general beauty of the room. All our family and friends loved it too! And we had loads of compliments about the room.

Lorna couldn’t be more helpful all the way through. From the last minute booking of the wedding 12 weeks before the day, to the morning of. Nothing was too much for her. Answering any questions we had, calming those last minute nerves. And just making it a friendly, personal ceremony. Nothing was too much bother for her. She was brilliant.

We had a fantastic time being married on the beach by Lorna. She made us feel at ease, and gave us a perfect ceremony that we will always remember. Thank you for making our Elopement so special!

We cannot thank Lorna enough for making our elopement at Crear so incredibly special. It was such an intimate and personal occasion, and having someone as warm, kind and reassuring as Lorna made the whole experience even more meaningful.

From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease and kept us all calm and relaxed throughout. She was so lovely, professional and genuinely caring, and she created such a beautiful atmosphere for what was such an important moment for our family.

We are so grateful to Lorna for being part of our special day and helping make it everything we could have hoped for. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough.
