Testimonials

“Choosing Marian as our celebrant was without doubt the best decision we made for our wedding day. Marian was our perfect guide and put incredible effort and time into tailoring and perfecting our wedding ceremony, far in excess of what we asked of her. he is a total professional and highly organised. From the beginning Marian took great interest in our personal backgrounds and story as a couple. She presented many options and ideas for how we would like the ceremony to be designed, and through many meetings and feedback built a ceremony tailored exactly for us reflecting our values and our story. It could not have been more personal. On the day Marian presented a beautiful ceremony which we will remember for ever. The ceremony was perfect! We were so glad to have her! ”

Naming Ceremony
”Marian exceeded all our expectations as the officiant for Emily’s naming ceremony. From the moment we contacted her, Marian’s professionalism and warmth shone through. She took the time to understand our family’s values, incorporating them beautifully into the ceremony.
Her words were heartfelt and eloquent, capturing the essence of our love for Emily and our hopes for her future. Marian’s demeanor helped create an atmosphere of warmth and sincerity, making the ceremony truly memorable for us and our guests. We can’t thank her enough for creating such a special and meaningful experience for our family and friends.
She was extremely punctual, took the time to practise with a mic as we had a large number attending and received a lot of praise from our guests due to her attention to detail.
We have a wedding to happen yet, and if we were to get married in Ireland, Marian would be our first choice as a celebrant without hesitation. Highly recommended!”

We booked Marian for our wedding after having a lovely chat with her online as we were living abroad at the time. Marian instantly understood us as a couple and understood the ceremony style we wanted to have on our big day. Marian was communicative, sending us drafts of our ceremony in advance and was very thoughtful and considerate to any changes we wanted to make. Everything went so smoothly on the day and our only regret is that we didn’t get to spend more time with Marian! So many of our guests complimented the ceremony and felt it captured us perfectly! Thank you so much Marian – we are so grateful for you and you made our day so special. We could not recommend Marian more!

Looking back at out day we were really lucky to have chosen Marian to be our celebrant. Marian took at the stress out of the ceremony. She really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. From day one no matter what query, edit or suggestion we had Marian took it on board. Her ability to capture our love story and portray it to all our guests in a thoughtful but entertaining way was a highlight of our day. Multiple guests commented on how well she spoke and how she created a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Marian is a true professional and we would recommend her to anyone.

Marian was absolutely a dream to work with from our first contact. We were unsure how to go about having a Naming Ceremony for our little boy, and with Marian’s guidance the Ceremony absolutely exceeded all our expectations. Marian was personable, warm and ensured the ceremony was unique to us. I would highly recommend working with her for your special event!
