Testimonials
We Love Weddings!
The Argyll and Bute Registrar’s love weddings and one of the most special things for us is to get feedback from you afterwards and to see your lovely pictures to remember the special day.
If you have been married by one of the Argyll and Bute Registrar’s we would love to hear from you, your feedback means the world to us!
We never knew a ceremony could be so personal. Jane was amazing throughout and was so excited at our ideas making the time for a number of meetings to discuss the finer details. On the day she was a calming presence and guided us brilliantly through our ceremony. I would highly recommend anyone considering making the ceremony their own to go for it as the unique sand ceremony and promises that we worked to create with Jane really made our ceremony a talking point of the day. The support of the amazing registrars at Helensburgh registry office will definitely help to make your ceremony extra special.
My experience with Samantha was, beyond amazing. She helped and guided us through the whole process prior to the wedding. I had moments of panic (I’m a Canadian bride travelling to Scotland) and she eased my mind and helped me calm down. The ceremony was beautiful, I have never seen that many happy teary eyes in a room. Her words were perfect, and summed up how we view a marriage and a relationship, perfectly. We had numerous people telling us that they have never experienced a wedding like that, and loved Samantha. I wish I was a guest at our wedding. Truly beautiful. I hope for more people to have this type of service, it’s changed the way I view wedding ceremonies now. Thank you for everything!
Gemma was fantastic, she answered all my questions promptly regardless of how silly and obvious they might have been. She made me feel at ease whilst guiding me through the process
Lorna was the best registrar we could have wishers for. From the very first time we spoke she made us feel that our wedding day and ceremony would be exactly what we wanted and felt very personal from the start. Contact was fantastic and it really helped when Lorna shared her thoughts on what would work well and her previous readings and vows. Our day was perfect, Lorna made it so relaxed and our ceremony was beautiful. We are so pleased that Lorna played such a special part on our wedding day. Thank you
Maria was absolutely amazing. She kept in touch beforehand and was totally lead by us. Nothing was too much trouble and any questions we had were answered promptly and thoroughly. We can’t thank her enough for the absolutely amazing ceremony. It was just beautiful and all our guests commented on how personal to us it was. Maria was obviously born to do this job!

Norma was so approachable and friendly, perfect for our relaxed wedding on the beach. She definitely went above and beyond for us ❤️ We were so lucky with our local photographer and local piper from Skerryvore too. And our local friends who introduced us to the Island and the special cove we got married in. Couldn’t have asked for more.
We were married on 10th December 2022 at the Brander Lodge Hotel near Taynuilt. Our Registrar, Catherine Dodds, was fantastic and put together a truly beautiful ceremony for us. The venue couldn’t have been more obliging, and our wintry photos in Connel are magical. Thank you to Argyll and Bute Registrars
Service we received from Andrew was excellent, very approachable and friendly. He acted as the registrar for our small intimate ceremony and was jovial and definitely made the day special.
We were married on the most beautiful sunny day on 13th April 2023 by Melanie. The ceremony was relaxed and personal and Mel included readings that we'd personally chosen. Mel made us feel very calm on the day of the wedding and it was nice that the Crear team had all worked together before adding even more to the chilled vibes! Before the wedding, all the paperwork and formalities were very easy to organise via email. Lorna at the Lochgilphead registry office kept us right with all the bits and bobs we had to fill in which kept the run up to the day stress-free. We really wouldn't hesitate in recommending a relaxed and personal civil ceremony to anyone, especially if it's on the beach
The day was very special Linsay made the day unforgettable everything went smoothly.
Prior to our wedding, Samantha was excellent in liaising with us about all the formalities for getting married. She helped make it as stress-free as possible and really helped us to feel at ease with the whole process. Closer to the date, Stephanie, our registrar, got in touch to inform us how things would work and to let us know how we could make the service as personal as we wanted it to be. When it came to our wedding, Stephanie arrived well in advance and made me feel relaxed about the service. Before the big day, we hadn’t really thought much about the registrar and its importance. Obviously, from a legal point of view, the registrar is vital, but Stephanie brought an amazing and unexpected pivotal element to our wedding. For us, Stephanie’s well-spoken and heartfelt delivery of the service added a stunning touch to our wedding. Stephanie’s sincere and poignant delivery truly helped capture how fantastic our big day was. With Stephanie’s voice overlayed as the backing to our wedding video, it genuinely helps us relive the magic
We loved having our ceremony on the magical island of Bute. We could not have picked a more beautiful and intimate setting. We’d recommend this council for all ceremonies! Sandra (registrar) was helpful and kind, helping to guide us through our ceremony.
From the initial call to check that I had sent the correct documentation, to the meeting the day before the wedding Elaine could not have been more helpful. She was warm and welcoming and made both me and my now husband feel at ease and fully informed of what to expect for our big day. She had really helpful suggestions of unique extras we could add to our ceremony that really made a difference. On the day Elaine was a calming and readying presence and helped make sure the ceremony flowed smoothly. She was engaging with the guests while making sure we felt like the only 2 people in the room. We can't recommend Elaine and Argyll and Bute registration services more.
