We wanted to thank you for hosting a beautiful ceremony. Everything you wrote and said was so genuine and from the heart. Everyone loved it! Love from Yasmin and Koray.
I advise couples to choose a celebrant they connect with. Someone they feel instantly at ease with. When I first met Sarah and Robert the roles were reversed! I was captivated by their story, and I knew right away, theirs was a story I could not wait to tell! <3
Sarah and Robert celebrated their wedding in the historic Mill House, Slane, Co Meath. They chose a handfasting ceremony using coloured ribbons that held deep meaning for them and their guests.
Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day. You made everything so easy and stress-free. Your professionalism, warmth, and creativity knows no bounds. You blew us away with the ceremony you created for our big day and practically all of our guests commented on how gorgeous it really was. It was the best day of our lives but the ceremony was definitely the highlight and that’s thanks to you. Thanks for all your patience and guidance – Sarah and Robert
We this is very exciting! A Mrs2Be Brides Choice nomination is a big deal for me! Creating and delivering a wedding ceremony, on one of the most important days in a couple’s life to that point, is an enormous responsibility. While many think the ability to perform a ceremony comes naturally, they do not realize the amount of preparation that goes on behind the scene. The hours I spend rehearsing and reviewing the ceremony or arriving at a venue two hours before kick off to ensure everything is ‘ship shape’, is never time wasted.
I am nominated in the Celebrant category, but there are a few more categories I think I am eligible for:
Acrobatics: as I am a dab hand at catching the mother of the bride as she trips on the red carpet (true story).
Florist: for making a button hole for the father of the groom out of flowers from the venue’s garden (also a true story)
Beautician: for not crying when hot wax poured down my arm from a toppled candle (another true story)
So thank you from the bottom of my heart for the nomination and good luck to all the nominees, you all rock!

Planning a destination wedding can feel like a daunting task, but for Caitlin and Ultan it was a breeze! Every detail was thought of and executed perfectly! The forest on the grounds of Cloughjordan House was the perfect setting for an organic and real ceremony. Ceremony music was provided by Celtic Breeze.
“Her motivation and drive inspire me and in turn positively motivates me to be the best I can be” (Ultan)
The day was unbelievably perfect and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Our ceremony was so personal and it meant so much to us, and we want to thank you for bringing it all to life so perfectly. We are so happy that we chose you as our celebrant and you were so wonderful to work with! Thank you for being so flexible and hopping on Skype on the weekends because of the time difference, and for being so collaborative with everything to make sure we were 100% happy. Ultan gave you a shout-out in his speech during the reception and you got a huge round of applause from everyone! 🙂 So many people also came up to us during the night to tell us what an amazing job you did. Thank you SO much again for everything. We are so appreciative!
Aoife and Robie celebrated their ceremony in the beautiful Trudder Lodge, a period House in Newcastle, Co. Wicklow.
Heavy rain showers had no impact on the style, elegance and excitement of the day! I was the very lucky celebrant who was chosen to create Aoife and Robie’s wedding ceremony and I loved every minute of it!
The ancient Scottish tradition of handfasting was a very special moment, when Aoife and Robie made joint promises for their married life ahead. Following this they shared their peronal promises for each other. Their marriage was sealed with the giving and receiving of a ring and New Zealand Jade.
They also secured love lettters in a wine box ceremony, that is waiting to be opening on their first anniversary!
I wanted to say thank you so much for your wonderful, personal ceremony on May 27th. Everyone raved about you and the ceremony. It was so unexpected for most people that I think they were genuinely entertained. The main comment was how personal and romantic the entire thing was.
Robie and I said from the start that you were our star supplier for the day. We knew once we met you that you were the perfect addition to our day. You guided us through it with such grace and determination that I honestly cannot imagine doing the day without you.
The one thing I really wanted to make sure is that we felt the ceremony, took it slowly and enjoyed it. I can honestly say that we did and it remains my favourite part of the day.
Aoife and Robie
