Rona Burstow - The Humanist Celebrant

Rona was our North Star during our entire engagement and elopement journey. As firm believers in staying true to ourselves, we greatly appreciated her unwavering commitment to authenticity throughout the entire process.With Rona by our side, our wedding ceremony became a true reflection of who we are as individuals and as a couple. Her genuine approach and dedication to capturing our love story with warmth and love made our day all the more extraordinary.Rona will forever hold a special place in our hearts. I mean, just look at her! What a light!

Rona really took the effort to get to know and understand us as a couple and this came across in how personal and special she made our ceremony. We are quite an awkward couple but she made us both feel very relaxed, able to be ourselves and really enjoy the ceremony. She has a really bubbly personality and a great sense of humour and does everything she can to make not only the ceremony but your full day as enjoyable and as smooth as she can. We absolutely love Rona and couldn't recommend her more if you are getting hitched

Rona is one of those rare people that bring joy where ever they go. We absolutely loved our ceremony, it was so personal and told our story perfectly! She helped us so much when some of our plans had to be changed due to the crazy weather and we can’t thank her enough for that. She really goes above and beyond what you would hope for in a celebrant. The weather was wild, but this didn’t stop Rona and she gave us such a memorable ceremony!Thanks againAmber and Andrew

Right from the start Rona made us feel completely at ease! She invested time into finding out about us as a couple in order to create the most beautiful and personal ceremony. It was honestly better than we could have ever imagined. We had nothing but complements on what a wonderful ceremony it was and I’m not sure there was a dry eye left in the room. If you’re looking for relaxed, personal and a perfectly delivered ceremony Rona is your girl! Thanks again Rona for most magical start to our married life!

Rona is an absolute LEGEND!!!! Couldn’t recommend her more. She put us both at total ease months before the wedding even happened.Having met Rona on a couple of calls and through emails before the wedding, Gordon and I felt 10x more relaxed with the knowledge and guidance Rona supplied and her fantastic personality.When we changed our plan to a wedding festival, Rona was 100% on board and accommodated this, showing her flexibility and enthusiasm.Her guidance on the day was so appreciated by us and many who had never attended a humanist ceremony were blown away by the lovely service that Rona put together - tailoring it to us as individuals.Thank you so much Rona. We will never forget how special you made our service and our day ❤️.Gordon and Seona x

We had the absolute pleasure of having Rona the Humanist Celebrant, marry us on our wedding day!From the very first email contact, Rona went over and above to support us on the road to our wedding day. Her email communication was crystal clear, friendly and supportive and she even met with us on Zoom to go over the finer details of our ceremony, always providing reassurance and guidance throughout it all.And then, the big day itself arrived and Rona shone like the star she is from the moment she arrived to our parting goodbyes! We had a wee wedding, with just 10 of our closest family members and Rona integrated into the family seamlessly.. which isn’t a mean feat considering some the characters we are lucky to be related to! She shared some words of wisdom and helped to calm our nerves with her self-assured attitude.Our ceremony was heartfelt, humorous and Rona beautifully shared our love story with our nearest & dearest in a warm and honest manner. There were lots of laughs, quite a few tears and in true Rona-fashion, a whole lotta’ love!We can’t thank Rona enough for being such a professional, natural and all round fantastic Humanist Celebrant and for making our wedding day so special. With all our love, Mr & Mrs Waldman xxx

We were truly blessed to be married by the beautiful Rona at Fairy Glen on the Isle of Skye. From the moment we made contact with Rona she was a delight to communicate with, it was like we were old friends. She put our minds at ease with her easygoing nature which was so comforting considering our long-distance relationship - I was in Australia and my husband-to-be in Scotland.Rona helped us plan everything from the paperwork to the photographer, witnesses, weather reports, the final location, and brownie recommendations. She was always there to answer our questions, and guide and support us. Her nurturing, fun, friendly and loving nature made us feel confident, relaxed and excited heading into the day.In the months leading up to our elopement, Rona took the time to get to know us and our unique love story which she encapsulated in the most beautiful and intricate way during our ceremony. The way she retold our story detailing everything we had been through to arrive at our special day - the ups, downs, love, laughter, magic and synchronicities - was so incredibly heart-warming it brought us all to tears. Our day was perfect, in the perfect location, with the perfect celebrant.Rona's passion, enthusiasm, and pure joy for love and ceremony was evident and we highly recommend her for your special day - Rona is a celebrant angel.Rona, we are eternally grateful to you - for uniting us as husband and wife in our forever ever love.

Rona is simply amazing and if you don't have her for you ceremony you are missing out!She helped us plan the most personal 5 year vow renewal and spoke the most beautiful words.Rona will go above and beyond, from really getting to know you and building a truly bespoke ceremony to hiking up mountains in all weathers, carrying bags, providing tissues. With Rona by your side you get not just a celebrant but a friend <3

What to say about Rona, from the first moment of contact Rona has been nothing short of spectacular. To making us feel at ease, to keeping us on track with documents, to delivering what our guest describes as the most loving, personal and humours ceremony. Rona totally engulfed herself in our wedding. Travelling all the way to North Uist, arriving the night before our wedding and getting stuck in with the helping. We couldn’t have asked for a better humanist and now friend. A 10/10 service and you would be the luckiest couple to have Rona marry you. Lots of love, Louise and Niall Maclean x

Above and beyond anything we could have envisioned a Humanist Celebrant to be, Rona was the fairy Wedmother we didn't even know we needed.
