Bespoke Wedding Ceremonies

23/08/2026

Congratulations to Laura and Graeme, who I recently married at Ballyvolane House. It was a very intimate and relaxed ceremony. The bride was stunning in a burnt orange coloured dress, and all the flowers at the ceremony were wildflowers. The couple included a ring blessing and some beautiful personal readings. They tied the knot and jumped the broom, much to the delight of their family and friends.
The ceremony was moved from the forest to the barn, and the rain was confetti from the sky as the ceremony took place.
Luckily, the sun was back out after the ceremony.
I wish them a lifetime of joy and happiness.

Congratulations to Sinead and Rob. I recently married them in the nicest cowshed I have ever been in. The ceremonial area in the mountain view hotel in Kilkenny is a beautiful rustic place. It has a unique charm, and people were gasping with delight as they stepped into the barn. It was decorated with wild flowers and candles.
Sineaad and Rob had a beautiful ceremony with some very personal moments. They honoured those who could not be there. They included their family in the handfasting, and to the delight of everyone, they jumped the broom. The
Alli G duo were fantastic with their music, and the portrait room caught all the beautiful moments. It really was a beautiful day. I wish them every joy and happiness

Congratulations to Marrisa and Darragh, who I recently married in the Heights in Killarney. The ceremony room was stunning and the wedding team were fantastic to work with. I have watched Marrisa grow from a sweet little girl to a stunning and beautiful bride. The celebration started in the bridal suite with her childhood friends , who were her bridesmaids. At the ceremony, Marrisa and Darragh exchanged the most beautiful personal vows. Their two children blessed the rings with water that was passed among the guests and infused with love and wishes. They had a beautiful handfasting and jumped the broom.
I wish them every joy and happiness.

Congratulations to Alyssa and Robert. They came from America to have their wedding in the stunning Castlemartye hotel. An outdoor wedding was planned. However, mother nature had other plans, and we had to move to the ceremony room.

Congratulations to Shane and Kendra. They eloped to Inchadonny Beach to have their very personal wedding. They got engaged on a beach so it was their dream to have their wedding on a beach. Kendra was like a stunning celtic goddess with her flowing red hair. They were completely oblivious to the sea crashing around us and the wind and rain adding to the atmosphere. They gazed at each other as their made the personal vows to each other and exchanged rings.
They also had a beautiful Celtic handfasting during the ceremony.
It was truly a memorable day.
I wish them a lifetime of joy and happiness.

I was honoured to be asked to perform a baby naming ceremony over the weekend. I have worked with this lovely family before, and I really appreciate the fact that they remembered me.

In the ceremony, we included candles light by both sets of the guide parents and parents. We also light coloured candles to represent different attributes the parents wished for the children in their lives. The readings were from the amazing Dr Seuss. I was delighted when a robin came in and landed on my altar.
There were other personal parts to the ceremony that made it unique and so personal to the family. I wish them a lifetime of happiness and blessings with their beautiful children.
