About Janine...
I was tempted to do a wordle to illustrate some key words to describe what I’m
passionate about but my tech skills let me down! However, if I could have done it,
you would probably see the following words stand out….
Lochs and lochans, dogs, Argyll, heartfelt, water, intimate venues, beaches, animals,
nooks and crannies, happy, paddle boarding, scenic, wild, relaxed, forest clearings,
boats, rustic, calm, indoors and outdoors (I’ll stop now!)

​

By way of explanation…
I have a love of the outdoors and our gorgeous Scottish rugged landscapes.
I love weddings that embody the sheer beauty of Scotland, both bringing the
outdoors in with beautiful rustic styling … but also and especially, I love being
outside. I enjoy conducting weddings in intimate spots in Scotland, particularly by or
on the water! I’m happy to share some pretty special undiscovered spaces that are
hidden gems or conduct a wedding in some of our well known beauty spots – from
Camusdarroch beach in Arisaig, to our beautiful Lochs and Lochans, or heading up
the Mountains such as the Lost Valley in Glencoe …. we have magical places in
Scotland and I am keen to tick off conducting weddings in as many unique places as
I can – I defo have a bucket list - and I’d love you to help me work my way through it!
By moonlight, by dawn, wherever, whenever!

 

And what about the ceremony?

Well first off, as a celebrant who will work with you to plan your individual and special
ceremony, exactly how you want it… if you’re happy, I’m happy… FACT. I am a pretty
relaxed person, so if you have an idea (or lots!), then I’m happy to chat things over
and bounce ideas around. Ultimately, I will aim to write and deliver a ceremony which
has plenty of smiles and laughter, heartfelt and magical moments, and more than
likely, some tears of joy. I will give you guidance and suggestions, or will happily be
led by your creative thoughts and inspiration. I do love to laugh, but I know that I am
also a very calm person and I always expect the unexpected!

There’s lots more about me in addition to being a celebrant, but that can wait for
another day! Well ok, a few more facts: I love messing about on the water - on boats,
canoes, paddle boards – so I’ve shared some photos of a wedding which combines
all my favourite things – Lochs, boats, dogs and wonderful people! And this
gorgeous pupster did her ring bearing duties very well! Come show me pics of your
fur babies if you stop by!

 

About Thistle

As a humanist celebrant with Thistle Humanists, I’m going to state the obvious by
saying that I can legally conduct weddings anywhere in Scotland. But here’s some
less obvious information!
Something we are all really proud of at Thistle, is our commitment and desire to help
and care for those around us. As a humanist organisation we want to give back to
local communities, and as a result, we donate a percentage of every single
ceremony we conduct to our chosen charities each year.
We are a small, but mighty team of fantastic celebrants working across Scotland.
If you remember any of these very important facts, stop by and see me at the Uncon,
amaze me with your talent for remembering stuff and I will congratulate you with
chocolate! (And if you’re not good at remembering stuff, stop by for chocolate
anyway as consolation…)
I really am looking forward to seeing and meeting all the lovely uncon community at
the next wedding show – see you there!
