Patricia Breck, Orkney's Senior Registrar, explained: "All of the Civil Marriage and Civil Partnership ceremonies we conduct are personalised and tailored to meet the needs of the couple – and this includes the venue.
"In the past we have been restricted to where we could conduct these ceremonies, so we are delighted that with the implementation of the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014 we can now offer a much more extensive choice to couples.
"There are so many beautiful and unique venues in Orkney, both indoors and out, which could be considered – from halls and historic buildings, to brochs, beaches and gardens."
She added: "We are happy to discuss couples' ideas around time and place and will always endeavour to meet a couple's requests to ensure that their special day is unique."
