A few recommended links ...

For information on paganism, please refer to the Scottish Pagan Federation website - there is also more information here about having a legal pagan wedding.

Please mention Orkney Pagan Weddings if you use any of the recommendations on this site. Thank you.

For cherished memories of your special day, we recommend our friend Graham Wharton, here is a link to his website at www.thenamuliprossyfoundation.org.uk/photography4u/. We also recommend Suzi Lee who took the photographs at our own wedding - you can see her work on this web-site under the tabs "About Us", "The Wedding Ritual" and "How To Proceed". Here is a link to Suzanne Lee Photography. For couples on a tight budget we can take a few photographs after the ceremony using our digital camera and post them to you on CD-ROM for £20 – we are not professional photographers, but couples to date have been very pleased with the results.

For a traditional piper, we thoroughly recommend Ian MacDonald (right) who is reliable
and very reasonably priced.

To get to your wedding in style, hire a horsedrawn carriage through Stromness by Carriage.

For all other things needed for a wonderful wedding - including arranging the reception - we
recommend Moira & Cheryl Kelday at Orkney Weddings.

And whilst you’re here in Orkney, why not stay and honeymoon for a perfect start to your
married life?

An ideal place to stay is with Barbara Williamson at Links House in Birsay, a 4 **** B&B with
the most spectacular views - Barbara is a dear friend of ours and she will guarantee you a
warm welcome and wonderful stay.

Or combine a honeymoon with a spiritual retreat at Haughland House on the island of Shapinsay with Lesley McKeown. Lesley is a pagan Unitarian and a good friend of ours - as explained in our contract terms, Lesley is also our "emergency" celebrant ensuring that if you come to Orkney to get married, you will have a Celebrant for your ritual even if Helen is suddenly and unavoidably unavailable.

Lynn and John at Via House, offer a retreat location on mainland Orkney, plus accommodation, a suitable site for a reception and the most wonderful evenings telling traditional Orcadian folktales around the peat fire - very recommended as a special entertainment for your wedding guests or to visit whilst on honeymoon in Orkney.

And for a honeymoon with a difference, hire a VW camper van from our friend Emma Harris at Orkney Campers.

For some of the best tours in Orkney, entertaining, interesting, and fun, please contact Michael Hartley at Wildabout.
