✨ “From start to finish Rebecca was absolutely amazing” ✨

I’m so grateful for this wonderful mom's kind words after her little boy's naming ceremony 💜 It’s always such a privilege to create a day that feels personal, joyful, and memorable — not just for the family, but for everyone in attendance.

"From start to finish Rebecca was absolutely amazing for our baby's naming ceremony. Her whole process is so much more professional and personal than anyone else we had contacted. Rebecca made everything so easy for us and has such a calm and happy presence. After the ceremony we had everyone telling us how great they felt the ceremony was, for all of my guests it was the first ever naming ceremony they had been to and they didn’t know what to expect but everyone much preferred it over a traditional christening, even the older family members who didn't like that we weren't having a religious ceremony! I have already asked Rebecca to do my next child's ceremony due in 2026 and would definitely have her as my wedding celebrant in the future! I could not recommend her enough, she was absolutely brilliant in every way. She even gave us a copy of the script and a certificate on the day as a keepsake. 10/10 service."

What a fabulous time we had at Ballygarry Estate for Kerry and Tj’s wedding! 👰‍♀️💍🤵 Whilst Storm Amy raged outside, we remained dry, warm and cosy inside The Lodge 🏠 and just as the ceremony began the sun came out!☀️ And The Lodge’s beautiful picture window came to life 🪟🌳

We included two readings and two candle lightings in Kerry & Tj’s ceremony, plus the old Irish tradition of the groom giving the bride a wedding coin 🪙 Historically, the giving of a coin symbolised the groom’s promise to provide for his wife, his willingness to share his worldly possessions, and ensure her financial security. It also symbolised good luck, prosperity, and blessings for the couple's married life 💜

Kerry and Tj have been together for 12 years and their engagement was many years in the planning! 💍 Finally they got their chance to celebrate with over 200 guests sitting upstairs as well as downstairs in The Lodge 🥂

Congratulations to them both, and their fabulous future! 👩‍❤️‍👨 💜

I’m so happy that this ceremony struck the right balance of warmth, sincerity, and joy — creating a moment that felt meaningful not only for the couple, but for their guests too 💜

Congratulations Mr & Mrs McCarthy! 🤍💍💜
We had such a fun ceremony at the Killarney Oaks, with Grainne, Steve and their two boys 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 The room looked incredible thanks to Tara and her team at The Killarney Oaks ✨ And because Gráinne comes from a musical family, we were treated to amazing live music from a six-piece band made up of her family and friends 🎶

Gráinne and Steve included two candle lightings in their ceremony 🕯The first by their mothers to symbolise the unification of their families, and the second by the bride and groom to seal their vows.

We also had two readings, two pieces of music sung and played by our house band, and the couple also included a sand pouring with their sons. They had glasses beautifully engraved with their names and sand from local beaches that held special meaning for them.

At the end of the ceremony, we had the pleasure of a blessing by Father Hegarty who knew the couple well and had known Gráinne since she was a child. He read a lovely poem by Evan Boland - I think it was ‘A Ballad of Home’, comparing a house built on love as a metaphor for the foundation of a couple’s relationship.

The couple said their vows and we had a ring exchange, followed by a champagne celebration and Instagrammable backdrop for photos in the hotel foyer.

A couple who have barely been apart since they met, we heard about the Romeo and Juliet style balcony proposal in Spain, and the addition of their two sons to make life complete. The room was full of high energy and loads of love! 💜
