    Truly beautiful ceremony

    We could not have asked for a more beautiful ceremony. Hamish officiated our Jackson Hole wedding ceremony and every piece of it was touching. You can tell how much thought & care was put into the reading. We were able to add in personal vows too which was great. We had so many guests say it was the best ceremony they have witnessed and we could not agree more. Hamish was always quick to respond and a joy to work with.

    Yellowstone Secular Ceremonies's reply:

    Madeline,

    Thank you so much for your kind words - possibly the nicest praise I've ever received!

    Good luck to you both

    Beautiful Service! Highly Recommend.

    Hamish gracefully officiated our outdoor 90 person wedding in Wilson, WY, July 2021.
    BOOKING AND PLANNING: From the get-go Hamish was genuinely friendly, warm-hearted, and professional. His email communications had a way of making me smile because he conveyed sincere interest and care for our upcoming nuptials. Conveniently, Hamish provided a menu of ceremony dialogue options for us to choose from, and he also allowed us to modify and add our personal touches. Communication was always timely and personalized.
    CEREMONY: Hamish was punctual, smartly dressed, well-prepared, and delivered a well-articulated ceremony. His calming demeanor and eloquent way of speaking were soothing to my excited jitters. It was clear he had prepared for the occasion and that he holds many officiating experiences.
    POST CEREMONY: Hamish personally submitted our signed marriage license to the county, allowing us to free our minds from carrying out that task ourselves. My husband and I are thoroughly satisfied with and thankful for Hamish's services and recommend inviting him to unite any couple in marriage.

    Wedding Vows in Town Square :)

    Hamish was fantastic! The vows written expressed perfectly what we felt. We found him from a listing provided to us on-line via the justice of the peace. They responded quickly, and were flexible in when and where to meet. We got an appointment within a couple of hours :)

    Yellowstone Secular Ceremonies's reply:

    Hi Karen,

    This is such a lovely comment. Thank you. It was my great delight to be of service to you and Ismael. Best of luck to you both,

    Excellent please see review and have a nice day.

    We were absolutely pleased with the location, ceremony and professionalism provided and would recommend his services to anyone looking for an elopement wedding such as ours. Hammish was very accommodating to our needs and short notice changes! We could not have asked for a better ceremony other than the Lear jet flying over our video recorded nuptials .

    Yellowstone Secular Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you Vaughn, that's a wonderful review. Your wedding was the essence of simplicity and I just loved your lo-stress approach to life.
    Be happy, Hamish

    Amazing!!!

    We are from Florida and did a small destination wedding in the Grand Tetons. Hamish was the perfect choice to Officiate our wedding! He helped us with ease through the steps we would need to take for getting our permit, license and vows in order along with helping us choose the perfect spot! We ran into some issues when the Covid pandemic hit, and he didn't miss a beat to come up with secondary plans if they were needed. Thank you so much Hamish for making sure my day was perfect ❤

    Yellowstone Secular Ceremonies's reply:

    Hi Rachulle,

    Thank you so much for these very kind words. Every review helps. Wishing you both the very best,

    Hamish

    The Beautiful Schwabacher's Landing

    We had a short little wedding at Schwabacher's Landing with the most amazing views of The Grand Tetons. Our kids were our only guests and only one being of age so Hamish had his wife present so we were able to have our 2 witnesses. Both Hamish and his wife, Rochelle, were so great!!! Thank you again :)

    Yellowstone Secular Ceremonies's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words, Jessica and Eric. It was lovely to meet your family, and Rochelle and I both wish you the very best.

    Lovely officiant!

    Hamish was the perfect officiant for us. He officiated at our wedding in the Tetons this August and was absolutely wonderful. We loved working with Hamish in advance, exchanging via email (we're on the east coast) ideas and inspirations for our Wyoming wedding. Hamish was attentive, thoughtful, and highly organized, which goes a long way towards reducing stress. He's a very nice person, and he cuts an impressive figure to boot. He looks like a young John Muir, another Scottish transplant with a love of the American West. We could not have been more delighted!

    Yellowstone Secular Ceremonies's reply:

    Diana, Thank you so much for these kind words. I have to say that, of all the weddings I've performed, your own vows and messages to each other were the most touching. I learned much from your wedding both for future weddings I will officiate - and for my own marriage.
    With my very best wishes to you both. Hamish

    Very courteous, patient, and professional!

    Hamish was great! We have a very small ceremony with 4 guests, two of which were supposed to arrive early to set up an arbor. They ran late and when I arrived with Hamish and my other guests, Hamish was so kind and patient with them. He even went out his way to assist in setting the arbor up. Overall the experience was lovely and intimate with a beautiful background.

    Yellowstone Secular Ceremonies's reply:

    Monica and Noah,

    What a lovely review - thank you so much. It was a pleasure to be your officiant - and i thought the whole arbor thing to be quite amusing and fun. I enjoyed meeting your friends. All the very best,

    Hamish

    I had a wonderful experience with Hamish. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted it to be. The surroundings that Hamish helped pick out were absolutely beautiful.

    Thanks so much for the kind words Keeley. That sure was a lovely wedding under the Tetons and it was my pleasure to marry such a promising couple. May you both be well and happy. Hamish

    Hamish made our day so special.

    Hamish made our day so special. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more. Best decision we made was choosing Hamish as our officiant under the Tetons in Wyoming. Hamish answered all our questions promptly and was professional and sincere. The place we chose in Grand Teton National Park was new to Hamish, and yet he was more than willing to hike in to our special place to make our day the best ever. I would recommend Hamish to anyone looking for that special officiant who will deliver a beautiful service in a beautiful place.

    Yellowstone Secular Ceremonies's reply:

    Hello Tamara and James,

    Thank you so much for the kind words concerning my officiant services. It was indeed a great pleasure to do so - and in such a lovely setting under the Tetons. I wish you both the very best.

    Choosing Hamish as our officiant was one of the best choices we could have made for our intimate elopement in Wyoming. He was extremely helpful in deciding on a location to host our ceremony in Grand Teton National Park, he was knowledgeable regarding the area and permit requirements, and he was prompt in answering any and all of our questions - no matter how big or small. We are so grateful that we were able to share our wedding day with him, as he was incredibly thoughtful, courteous and always professional. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!

    Hamish was very helpful in our elopement ceremony. This was a destination wedding for us so we were not 100% of area and requirements. Hamish was able to help us with all of the various pieces. He was very accommodating and responsive. Our actual ceremony was delightful and we could not have been happier. We felt special and not like "just another couple" which I think is a gift. We ultimately felt like we were interacting with a friend.

    Perfectly eloquent, unique and deeply meaningful! Our expression to each other and to the world could not have been better facilitated. Hamish brought our vows and his statement to such a beautiful place that will forever be the dream for which I envisioned on the mountain at the Wedding Tree that beautiful day.
    This would not have been possible without his expertise and presence, and we are deeply grateful to Hamish for being a forever part of our lives, family, and memories.

    Hamish was a phenomenal officiant for my wife and my wedding ceremony in Jackson Wyoming last December. My only regret is in taking so long to actually review his services. He made himself available on extremely short notice, two days after Christmas! We had a very small elopement ceremony in the snow by the creek, and it was just perfect. We can highly and enthusiastically recommend Hamish for anyone interested and concerned. Gratefully, Will & Zoryana Hoyman 12/27/16

    Yellowstone Secular Ceremonies's reply:

    Will and Zoryana, I just received these kind words on returning home from a long and out-of-touch vacation. Thank you so much. I do hope you are both well and happy in your lives together. Hamish

    My husband and I just returned from the most spectacularly romantic and fun elopement in Jackson - and we owe so much if our experience to Hamish. I reached out to Hamish for the first time to inquire about his services back in March, ahead of our proposed December elopement.

    Not only was Hamish quickly responsive, but he was also very curious to learn more about us, our story, our vision for our ceremony and the "style" of wedding we wanted. He was incredibly accommodating to our asks, gave us all the instructions we needed to file for our marriage license. When I told Hamish that we were eloping without witnesses, he arranged for his wife and their dear friend to serve at witnesses on our special day. Leading up to our wedding, Hamish also helped us arrange our ceremony, declarations of love and coached us through writing our own vows. He was such a wonderful resource for guiding us through this process.

    When we arrived at Hamish's office on our wedding day, we embraced him as though we'd known him forever, even though it was the first time we had met, face to face. Our ceremony was intimate, giggly, fun and so so special. I appreciate so much that Hamish provided a space for us to be ourselves, to not take things too seriously, while still honoring our marriage as incredibly sacred. I am so grateful that he will forever be part of this blissful memory.

    I really enjoyed Hamish Tears officiating services. My husband and I eloped and planned a small wedding in just 3 days, and Hamish was attentive and helpful from the very first phone call until we said " I do!" I loved that the ceremony was quick, intimate, and personal. With Hamish you have the option of writing your own vows or choosing from several formats that he crafts to fit whatever is best for you and your honey! Thanks Hamish, it was perfect!
