I would absolutely recommend this lovely lady
Eildon. Thank you for delivering a perfect ceremony for us. You are a very talented lady.You gave us everything we wished for and more. You captured our relationship beautifully. We had so many people tell us it was the best wedding service they had ever attended and its all thanks to you.

Eildon’s warm and creative approach made a relaxed but deeply moving and personal wedding service. The whole process of planning our wedding with Eildon was enjoyable; she brought fresh and special ideas and encouraged us to add our own personal touches.
Our friends and family were touched by the inclusiveness of Eildon’s approach and commented on the uniqueness of the ceremony, that they felt captured us as a couple. This was all down to the great deal of time and energy that Eildon invested in finding out exactly what we wanted from our service and getting to know us.
Eildon’s integrity, compassion and humour were always evident and she brought fun, laughter and warmth to the whole process, from the initial planning meeting to delivering the service itself.
We couldn’t speak more highly of Eildon and our experience with her, and wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Just a wee message from Lily and myself for everything on Saturday. We were over the moon with the service and it went very well.
So thanks again.

Funerals
When my beloved partner Sandra died suddenly, I found words very hard to find, and everything just seemed overwhelming and unspeakable. Losing the love of your life leaves you bereft and voiceless. However, Eildon stepped in, sat me down and asked me just to speak about Sandra. She took her time to listen and respectfully gathered stories from family and friends, and her empathetic nature found a way to see who Sandra really was. She was genuinely interested in Sandra, which made us feel so honoured. She celebrated my beloved life partner with a true sense of her impact in the world, and spoke of Sandra’s depth of love, humour, and caring. Eildon worked hard to understood Sandra’s world and was able to speak compellingly of the vast importance of someone’s life and how we connect to so many people, and of the joy and love we all carry. Thank you, Eildon!

Eildon delivered the eulogy at my Grandma’s funeral last year. As a speaker she was engaging and articulate. Having gathered information and anecdotes from members of my family, she presented these in such a way that beautifully summed up who my Grandma was. There were no clichés or platitudes; Eildon really took the time to ensure that everything she said resonated with the friends and family in the congregation and that she had honoured the different stages of Grandma’s life. Although Eildon alluded to my Grandma’s Christian faith, the eulogy did not contain many references to religion and instead, focused on the person she was, her qualities and her achievements. We really appreciated her contribution to the celebration of our Grandma’s life and would recommend her for any special occasion ceremony.

When our sister Barbara passed away after a brave fight with cancer, Eildon met with the family to chat & learn what kind of person Barbara was.
From the moment Eildon walked through the door she felt like family & spent a few hours just with us sharing memories of Barbara.
On the day of the funeral Eildon delivered the service with kindness & compassion.
After the service everyone said that it was a lovely service & felt very personal.
I cannot thank Eildon enough for all the kindness & guidance she gave to all the family.

We found Eildon’s input to our family members funeral just right. She helped guide the practicalities of what we hoped for on the day, gave input where needed but also trusted us to shape the service content. She is a wise and experienced celebrant who incorporated both religious and humanist elements with consummate skill. Also importantly for us she got the balance right of being present and leading the service, yet at the same time not being the dominant feature of the funeral. We highly recommend Eildon as a funeral celebrant whichever faith or no faith background a person/family has. Her input meant a lot to us. Andrea
Baby Naming
When my daughter Grace was born, I wanted a sensitive, spiritual,Christian yet inclusive, non-churchy celebration of her new life. Eildon was able to deliver on all of that, coming to our home and creating a ceremony that was so personal and tailored to us. She helped us create a sacred space, a space in which both me (Christian) and my husband (atheist) felt at home, at ease and welcome. I'm not sure there are many who could do that so sensitively. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Our ‘baby’ naming ceremony/blessing quickly became our ‘toddler’ naming celebration after time spent in ‘lockdown’. After our initial meeting, Eildon was able to quickly identify what our ambitions were for this occasion and was able to help us adapt our previous plans to create a deeply meaningful and memorable event. She was able to facilitate a ceremony with great suggestions towards the spoken and musical elements as well as ideas towards participatory components which resulted in a very successful, inclusive event. We can’t sing Eildon’s praises enough!
Professional, perceptive, creative, a friendly guide and facilitator in helping you create rituals that will mark the precious moments in your life
