From the moment we met Marian she gave a friendly, loving, and warm energy and we knew we wanted her as our celebrant. From the beginning of our preparation all the way up to the day itself she guided us through our ceremony with professionalism while being proactive and always there to respond to any of our questions, so we never felt any panic. She helped make our ceremony our own and it was exactly what we wanted and was able to convey our feelings for one another on the day through our love story. We were so lucky to have Marian for our wedding and would highly recommend her to anyone.

We had an absolutely perfect experience with Marian. She wanted to reach out and meet with us virtually to see if we would be a good fit before any commitments were made, which was an amazing welcome. From there she had such a clear system to work with us to create the most perfect wedding ceremony. She told our story beautifully and we have the most cherished wedding ceremony to look back on. Couldn’t be happier with how things turned out.

Marian, you were incredible! Thank you so much for being our Celebrant.  You are such a professional. Our ceremony was amazing. A lot of our guests commented on how personal and beautiful the ceremony was. It really opened their minds to what a wedding ceremony can be.  We had a fabulous day. Thank you again,

We cannot thank you enough for being such a HUGE part of the success of our wedding day.  The ceremony set the tone for the rest of the day and oh my, was it a fantastic day! Thank you for taking so much of your time creating and delivering such a personal and touching ceremony! We couldn’t have asked for better.  It went so smoothly and the setting of the forest at Cloughjordan House was just so perfect,

The ceremony will be forever memorable for the both of us and all of our guests.  Your delivery of ‘our love story’ was captured beautifully.  Thank you for making our wedding day so special Marian.  We were so lucky to share the day with you.
Go raibh míle maith agat

We cannot sing Marian’s praises loud enough! She helped us create the best ceremony we could have had and delighted not just us but our guests also. She listened to us and took on board everything we wanted which resulted in us creating the perfect ceremony together. She is a warm, kind and considerate person all of which made us feel very relaxed and happy as we planned the day. And on the day itself her delivery and attention to detail was wonderful! It would be hard to find a better, more authentic celebrant for your wedding than Marian.
Bhí muid thar a bheith sásta Marian a bheith linn ar ár lá speisialta. Bhí duine ag teastáil uainn chun cuid den tsearmanas a dhéanamh as Gaeilge. Rinne sí sin go paiteanta agus le beagán Fraincise caite isteach freisin! Go raibh mile maith agat a Mharian. Tá muid an-bhuíoch díot

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!

“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.”

“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!””

Marian, go raibh maith agat! We want to let you know how delighted we are, with how everything went. We can’t thank you enough. Our day was made with your help!
Le buíochas ó chroí uainn,

Her words were heartfelt and eloquent, capturing the essence of our love for Emily and our hopes for her future. Marian’s demeanour 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.  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! Marian made the whole process of crafting our naming ceremony so relaxed and easy for us, beforehand and on the day. The ceremony was beautiful from start to finish.

Katie & David 09-03-2024, Blarney, Co. Cork

 

Marian did a fantastic job as the celebrant. The ceremony was very special because everything felt so considered and personal. The care and attention she takes in every element of her service is impeccable and we felt genuinely lucky to have her share the day with us. The ceremony was unique to or families and I felt like every guest was a part of the ceremony. She created a warm and joyous atmosphere. We would highly recommend!

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 f 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!
