“I have been conducting weddings for over 8 years and still get much satisfaction and fulfilment from being part of a couple’s special day.  The weddings I enjoy the most are where the couple have chosen an unusual or more difficult to reach location.  It is great to work with the couple planning with them to ensure they will be able to have their dream wedding.  Many couples have been surprised by how flexible we are regarding locations, the best example being planning and conducting a wedding ceremony on Ben More.  All the Mull Registrars are also dog-lovers and very accommodating of four-legged friends to be in attendance at our weddings!!”

Gill and I have been to a few registry office weddings for family and friends and felt they were like production lines with little or no real feeling from the registrars’ teams. Gill’s daughter Lauren lives in Tobermory and was married by Andrew six years ago , and that’s when we realised that the Mull team and Andrew in particular really cared about making the day memorable. So when we decided to join our two families in our civil partnership, we knew there was only one place we wanted to get married – Tobermory on Mull! All the way through the process, Andrew has guided and helped us with suggestions for words and sites for the ceremony. He was very flexible on the site and timings of the ceremony , even printing out our words and vows for us. On the day, Andrew arrived early, met all the families and suggested where we could have the ceremony by the lake. He even helped with the group family photos! If anyone wants a registry office ceremony that feels (and is!) personal for them and their families, and not a rushed production line ceremony, then do what we did, get 19 people up to Mull for a week and got married in a happy joyous unrushed way that everyone will remember for years to come.
