We had the wonderful Gabrielle marry us last week. Right from the 1st chat we knew we wanted her to marry us. From the off Gabrielle was so positive and excited for our day and our ideas. We really wanted to have our children involved and keep our ceremony traditional and celtic and also to remember my mam. Gabrielle was available for support whenever we needed it and was at had to help us get the best out of our ceremony. She really listened to us and that was so great.

We were blown away by her ceremony, it was truly beautiful and so heart felt. Everyone was so impressed by it and continue to comment on it. Thank you for make our day so special it will live in our hearts for a long time to come.

We were very lucky to have Romy as our celebrant in November. She was amazing and made our ceremony so personal, relaxed and special. Our guests were talking about how warm and fun Romy was and how amazing the ceremony was for the whole evening! We couldn?t recommend her enough!

We couldn't have picked a better celebrant than Romy. She put us at ease from the very start and has the most amazing positive personality. We were asked if she was a family friend numerous times after the ceremony, which is testament to how personal Romy makes the day. We laughed nearly the whole way through and she made the whole ceremony so special.

She was the celebrant for a friend's wedding earlier in the year and all of our other suppliers raved about her before the big day so we knew we were in for a good experience, but she still exceeded our expectations. We can't speak highly enough of Romy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

My husband and I had Romy marry us on our special day and she stepped up 6 weeks before our wedding as our previous celebrant cancelled on us and I have to say she did such a great job with 6 weeks notice. She got to know us on a personal level and created a beautiful, funny and loving ceremony.
She made myself and James feel like we have a really special love and everyone was raving about how beautiful the ceremony was.
She was on hand anytime we needed to ask her any questions. She was just amazing.
Thank you so much romy ??

Romy at A Beautiful Ceremony is truly fantastic! My now husband and I knew that she was going to be the perfect fit to marry us after our first call. We were planning our wedding from the states, so everything was based on Zoom calls and emails, but Romy made it all so seamless and personable for us throughout the whole process!

The attention to detail that Romy put into every aspect of our ceremony was so lovely. She had all of our guests crying the feel-good tears throughout the whole ceremony. All of our guests truly loved the way the ceremony was laid out and delivered by Romy. We could not have asked for a kinder, more caring officiant than Romy and we are SO happy to have been married by her. Thank you so much again Romy for helping make our day more than we could have ever imagined!

We couldn't have picked a better celebrant than Romy! We knew we were in for a good experience when all our other vendors said "Romy is the best!" She made the process very easy and stress-free. Her suggestions for the flow and structure of the ceremony were spot on. Our guests were effusive in their compliments of the ceremony - in fact, three of our friends said it was the best ceremony they had ever attended!
Thanks, Romy, for making our day so special!

Romy was an absolute dream to work with. From the beginning of our planning, she was pleasant, professional and very organised. She made everything so easy for us and was always available to chat if we needed anything. Romy's website had so many options to choose from for the Readings/Vows/Rituals, making our experience seamless. The ceremony was so personal and beautifully organised, we couldn't have imagined a better day. I highly recommend Romy for anyone looking for their dream ceremony.

Romy created the most beautiful ceremony for us. It was so personal, both romantic and humorous. She brought such a beautiful and calming energy to our day. She kept all our guests engaged and they all complimented Romy on a fantastic ceremony. She has been both professional and personable since our very first email. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Romy was the perfect celebrant for us because she is a genuine, lovely person. She is easy going, available to answer all questions. Very organised and will give you access to lots of useful tips. Mostly she made our ceremony my favourite part of our wedding. It was warm and unique and felt like she knew us. She is the perfect celebrant and kept us calm on the day. We would recommend her 1000%.

Romy, with A Beautiful Ceremony, eased any wedding stress we had and held our hand throughout the process of getting legally married in another country. Her personality fit so well with ours and she had some wonderful suggestions about what types of rituals we should add to our ceremony to make sure it was special for us and our families. After the ceremony our families raved about how wonderful Romy was! She was funny at appropriate times and serious when the ceremony called for it. She was honestly the perfect fit for us!

Romy was our solemniser and we couldn't of asked for a better person to officiate our wedding. From day one Romy was so helpful, made us feel at ease and so attentive to everything we had to say.

We had to set up so many meetings with Romy as my partner and I were so confused and overwhelmed by everything but Romy was able to put us in the right path and made the perfect ceremony for us.

We are truly blessed to have found romy and made contact with her for our wedding, she was a massive part of our wedding and we wouldn't change anything in our ceremony.

Romy was the most incredible celebrant for our wedding on 20/05/2023.
From our very first zoom call to our wedding day she was an amazing point of support, full of help and guidance for everything related to the wedding ceremony and the logistics of organising and planning a wedding and ceremony.
On the day, she was on site early, moving between us both and all our families and friends, keeping us updated as to how the other was getting on, and ultimately managing getting everyone seated and ready for the ceremony.
And as for the actual ceremony itself; we were not even prepared for how incredible it would be. Romy took our words and made them into an incredible story along with advice and tips for our marriage ahead. Our older generation of guests who would be accustomed to a church ceremony were absolutely blown away by the personalised and intimate ceremony which celebrated our story and our love. It was the most amazing start to our wedding celebrations.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Romy as a wedding celebrant and cannot imagine what our day would have been like without her.

We got married on 20th April in Clonabreany House and Romy was our Celebrant. From the beginning, Romy was very attentive and quick to respond to any queries we had in the build up to our big day! The ceremony that she delivered was absolutely beautiful, it was intimate and personal and all of our guests have commented on how brilliant Romy was, she really brought a lot of our guests back to their own wedding day. We can't thank her enough for making our ceremony so special!

Romy is absolutely incredible!! We lucked out!! Out videographer Ronan recommended her and we owe him big time! This is not a job for Romy, its a vocation! She is an incredibly talented celebrant!
We got married on April 8th and we were blown away by how thoughtful and personal her ceremony was. It way exceeded our expectations x1000! It's really obvious how much work Romy puts into making the ceremony special because everything felt so considered and personal. There were no Barnum statements. This was not a "one-fits-all" script! It felt like Romy had known us for years!
The greatest testament I can give is how many people commented on how brilliant the ceremony was for weeks after the wedding. People who never cry were caught on camera very emotional! Any our friends and family with upcoming weddings have already been in touch with Romy and some even approached her on the day, she's an amazing celebrant!
Another striking thing is how emotionally in tune and clever Romy is. The ceremony was fun and warm and everybody felt involved. She has an incredibly high EQ. She has people laughing, crying and everything in between.
I had told Romy a story that I had also planned to use in my speech.(I hadn't told Romy that) It would have been a very easy story for Romy to include the story in her ceremony but it would have ruined the punchline in my speech. I didn't realise this but Romy did, and alluded to the story without ruining my speech! It's just a small example at how incredibly thought through her whole ceremony was. We really can't thank Romy enough. :)

My husband and I got married on NYE 2022 in Rathsallagh House in Wicklow and we had the absolute joy and pleasure of having Romy as our celebrant. She was warm, kind and approachable, and we knew she was the celebrant for us from the moment we met her. The care and attention she takes in every element of her service is impeccable and we felt genuinely looked after from the get go. Our entire family, friends and extended family were absolutely blown away by the ceremony on the day as Romy had so many people in tears that were completely unexpected. The ceremony was one of the top highlights of the day for both my husband and myself. Romy made everyone feel comfortable and at ease and made sure we were the main focus, it was so special. Thank you, Romy, from the bottom of our hearts for the most stunning, personal, and joyful ceremony we could have hoped for.

Romy was so helpful from the outset. She was clear and concise when helping us with the legalities and she was so much fun when helping us plan the ceremony! The perfect balance of what you need. I think every single person at our wedding commented on how much they enjoyed our ceremony, how personal and relaxed it was but all the while capturing the importance of why we were all there! We couldn't recommend Romy any higher and are so glad she was recommended to us also.

I can?t say enough good things about Romy. From the first day we contacted her, she has been great. Always there to answer questions and give advice.

Our ceremony was absolutely perfect. Better than we could have imagined. It was so personal, special and relaxed - everything we wanted. We laughed and cried a lot. Everyone came up to us afterwards to tell us how great and unique it was. It was just beautiful and it was all thanks to Romy.

We would 100% recommend Romy as a wedding celebrant. We live overseas so didn't meet Romy until our wedding day but knew from our very first skype chat that she was the celebrant for us.

The ceremony was everything we wanted it to be ? a lovely balance of emotion, warmth and humour. Several guests commented that it was the most emotional ceremony they had ever witnessed! It was also the first humanist ceremony for a number of our guests and they all loved how personal and touching it was.

Romy's joy, warmth and enthusiasm shone through in spades and set the perfect tone for the rest of our day.

Romy was also really informative both before and after the wedding and helped steer us through the process and paperwork. We were so glad to have Romy be such a big part of our special day and urge anyone who is still trying to find their perfect celebrant, to reach out to Romy. You won't regret it.

Romy is the perfect celebrant - professional, warm, knowledgable and supportive from the moment we first spoke with her. She made the entire process of planning the ceremony a breeze for us. We were left in awe during the ceremony as we, and our guests, laughed, cried and felt surrounded by love.

Romy, thank you for the care and attention that you put into our ceremony. We (and all our guests) loved every aspect of the celebration and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We will forever cherish the memories that you helped us create.

With love,

Romy was absolutely AMAZING!
We had our wedding outside in the Fitzgeralds Woodlands Adare and the ceremony was beyond anything we could have ever asked for! So simple yet so personal to us. Anything we asked Romy to bring into the ceremony she did without any hesitation. We wanted a quick ceremony of 30mins and she did just that. Our guests we're singing her praises and the style of how she did the ceremony. Absolutely 10/10. We wish we could do it all over again!

Romy delivered such a beautiful, personal and relaxed ceremony for us that was the highlight of the day for so many of our guests! From the start, Romy is organised and so professional when it comes to helping plan a ceremony, especially when it's all new and you've no idea where to start! I don't think I stopped smiling and laughing the whole way through the ceremony, and with the way Romy delivered it, it brought our story to our guests so it felt like they were included too on the day. Romy is such a beautiful relaxed presence to have on the wedding day and really made me feel at ease!

Romy made our wedding day an absolute day to remember. She is so experienced and gifted at what she does.
From the moment we met her we knew we had made a wonderful decision. Her personality is so warm, bright and friendly, we were completely put at ease at our zoom meetings.
Throughout the uncertainty of Covid, her communication and advice was so helpful, and she didn?t bat an eyelid when I only sent my vows on last minute! Romy has a serene and calming presence and was on hand that morning to help with pinning last minute buttonholes but injected a healthy dose of fun to proceedings as well.

Many of the older guests who would not be used to a ceremony outside of a church went out of their way to let us know how personal and beautiful they thought the whole service was.
We had so many people comment that it was the best wedding ceremony they had been to, and I have to agree! The ceremony was without doubt my favourite part of the day, I had a big smile on my face for all of it (when I wasn?t laughing or wiping away tears!)

Gabrielle gave us the most beautiful, touching and love filled ceremony. It was more than we hoped for; it was funny and so personal to us. Our guests laughed and cried with us and we even had two couples ask us how we managed to find her and what sort of ceremony it was so they could start planning for their own weddings. Romy was so responsive and helpful and both ladies managed to keep me calm when panic mode set in. I can't thank Gabrielle enough for giving us a truly beautiful ceremony.

When we set out to plan our wedding we were set on having a very quick ceremony with not a lot to it. Thanks to Gabrielle, it was actually the highlight of the day. She helped us compose a wonderful and very personal ceremony that created such a tremendous feeling of warmth and joy. Even going as far to spritz the ceremony room with lavender before the ceremony. Lavender was a huge part of our theme and we didn?t even ask her to do this. It just goes to show that she will go the extra mile for you. She was also an extremely calming and supportive force throughout the planning and on the day. Our guests told us it was the most beautiful and personal ceremony they?ve ever attended. Thank you Gabrielle!

Romy was our celebrant in June 2021 in the K Club for our micro-wedding. We had the most wonderfully meaningful but also super-funny ceremony! Romy made everything so personal and special. Our guests were part laughing and part crying happy tears during the ceremony. My mum was skeptical of us having a non-religious ceremony but Romy really and truly won her over!!

We had an original date of March 2021 before having to postpone to June 2021 due to COVID. This was no hassle for Romy who was fully flexible and very understanding of the stresses of trying to plan a wedding during the pandemic.

Romy was very helpful in the run-up to the wedding and answered all our questions - not just about the ceremony, but various wedding day tips and dos and donts! she accommodated all our readings, music and desired rituals into the running order. She was even kind enough to stay after the ceremony and help us with our photographs - it was a slightly wet and windy day and she helped our photographer and us with some giant umbrellas!

Romy's website was also a godsend for inspiration for readings, vows, rituals and promises and our ceremony would definitely have not been the same without this guidance!

We wish we could get married again so we could meet and work with Romy one more time! Would recommend her to anyone.

We had our beautiful micro wedding ceremony with Romy during level 5 restrictions. Even though it was a very uncertain and stressful time, planning the ceremony with Romy was very easy and enjoyable. We could pick different vows, rituals or readings from a huge variety of ideas on her website. Romy was able to adapt our plans so that we could include the family members who were there on the day. We did a candle lighting ceremony which included everyone (6guests) instead of just the two mothers. This worked out really nice! Whenever we spoke or emailed Romy in the weeks leading up to the wedding, when we didn't know what numbers would, or what the ceremony would look like with 6 guests, Romy reignited our excitement with her enthusiasm for our special day. We never envisioned having such a small wedding but it was perfect. Romy lights up the room with her positive energy and will make any couple feel very loved and special on their wedding day.

Our wedding took place in Rathsallagh Wicklow private wedding chapel by Romy mc Auley. She was very natural with the ceremony and included everything we wanted we did a candle service who everyone lit a candle to join both our families together. She knew exactly how to do it. I felt from the first time I contacted her I knew that she had the whole ceremony in control. I nearly didn?t contact her because she was using a .co.uk address but she is completely based in Ireland. Our first wedding venue was to be in Connemara and she had no problem going there but we ended up having to change everything due to Covid and she worked with us every bit of the way. I felt she made our wedding day that little more special.

I think we've said it sooo many times to each other - but just everything fell into place so perfectly for you both, and I'm so pleased that they did! It was definitely meant to be! x Romy

From the moment we first contacted Romy through email, we knew we had made the right choice! She is genuinely a breath of fresh air....During what was undoubtedly a hugely stressful time due to the looming further lockdown restrictions, Romy was like a ray of sunshine and hope. She was so reassuring and positive, it was exactly what I needed! Her attention to detail throughout the ceremony was second to none. Our guests couldn't believe that we had never met her in person prior to the wedding as she has a great way of obtaining lots of info from the bride and groom before the big day and uses this so cleverly throughout the ceremony, making it truly personal and in my eyes, magical!! I would 100% recommend Romy to any future couple. You are in safe hands and will not be disappointed!

From our first contact with Romy and Gabe we were met with genuine enthusiasm and support. These women really love what they do! They?re professional as well as warm and friendly. Organising our wedding during a pandemic inevitably led to uncertainty and changes in plans. Romy and Gabe supported us while we made difficult decisions and were flexible and understanding as we pushed our wedding day back and then brought it forward again! They were extremely helpful in answering any questions we had and gave us the guidance we needed to prepare our ceremony. Their website members? area provided us with plenty of ideas and possibilities for readings and rituals to customize our ceremony. Before our wedding day, Gabe spent time getting to know us and listening to what we wanted. On the day, she delivered a personalized and beautifully written ceremony with warmth and sincerity, leading to plenty of laughs and just a few tears! Gabe was kind, calm and reassuring to both of us as well as our guests, making everyone feel comfortable and involved in the ceremony. Thanks to Gabe and Romy, our ceremony was more than we could have hoped for and will be remembered as one of the highlights of our day.

Our day wouldn?t have been the same without Romy.
From the moment we met Romy to finally making it to our big day, she was our biggest cheerleader! Having to cancel our original date 5 days before the big day just as the pandemic was really kicking off, and a further 2 cancellations, there was never a moment where we had to think that she wouldn?t be there... Romy was just as determined to be there on our big day as we were!
Romy truly gets to know each and every one of her couples and then makes the most personal ceremony you could think of. It?s like being married by a family member really and that makes the day so much more special (especially when most of our families couldn?t be there with us). There was never a dull moment throughout the ceremony and both the husband and myself felt totally relaxed.
I personally had never been to a civil ceremony so I hadn?t a notion what to expect and I wouldn?t change a thing. From the moment Romy came to see me in my room before hand to see how I was doing, to her laughing with us throughout the ceremony, to pulling over her car to get another photo with us as she was leaving... honestly such an amazing person. You know you picked the right person to be part of your day when she is one of the main memories that brings a smile to your face.

Romy from A Beautiful Ceremony provided the perfect ceremony that myself and my husband were looking for. We wanted a tailored, personal, and small ceremony to share with friends and family. From the moment we met Romy she was extremely helpful, supportive, kind and put our wedding nerves at ease with her wisdom. There was no question too big or too small to ask. Romy provided us with a range of ideas for the structure of the ceremony, readings and rituals. Both family and friends commented on how lovely and personal the ceremony was and how they felt Romy's warm, humorous and professional presence brought it all together. I cannot recommend Romy and A Beautiful Ceremony enough to other couples, she really did put me (the bride) at ease on what turned out to be the best day of my life. Thank you Romy!

We got married in The Shelbourne Hotel in December. Romy was excellent an solemniser. She was very communicative and informative as to the requirements prior to the wedding. She also gave us plenty of opportunity to make the day our own. On the day itself, she was a lovely presence and we were delighted with the ceremony. We would highly recommend her!

Romy truly was a god send. Due to the pandemic it was our third attempt at a wedding and a change in the rules, caused us to have changes again before the big day. Romy helped us throughout the process and made sure that our day went off without a hitch. We ended having a very small ceremony. The service was warm and thoughtful and she really made the day special. I would highly recommend A Beautiful Ceremony and Romy to anybody planning a wedding.

Gabrielle really listened to us and was very caring and positive during the lead up to the wedding. We were both very relaxed with the planning as we knew we were in safe hands. Our wedding was small with 12 guests in total. Gabrielle made the ceremony very personal and relaxing. It was perfect! I wouldn't hesitate to recommened Gabrielle & Romy to any of our friends in the future. They really made our day. Thank you both very much!

I'll always be thankful to Romy for the pre-wedding chat we had, without it I might have just been a bag of nerves.
Romy is so professional, funny and genuinely wants you to have the best day. I can't recommend her enough.

We booked Romy & Gabrielle for our ceremony in October and were so happy we did. From the beginning they were both so helpful with all our queries and concerns and made us feel at ease. We ended up having a very intermate ceremony (just 4 people) but they truly made the experience. We plan on having a renewal ceremony next year and we can't think of anyone other that Romy or Gabrielle to do this. If you are looking for a Celebrant 100% go with a Beautiful Ceremony.

Planning a wedding during these uncertain times wasn?t easy, but they both definitely made it seem so. Their constant support and assistance helped us shape a ceremony we will never forget.

Gabrielle was a wonderful solemniser who truly made the whole wedding that much more special.

The ceremony was so magical for us, and honestly, was the highlight of the day and we have Romy to thank for that.
She was wonderful in the build up to the wedding too, always available for a zoom chat to help ease our minds (after covid hit) and to help us in any way she could. She really went above and beyond. Five stars!!

Our daughter was so impressed with Romy?s service that she changed her wedding plans to include Romy.
We highly recommend Romy for your special day.

Romy is fantastic to work with and we are so grateful for everything she did to help us. Having to change the wedding date 3 times due to COVID, she was a massive support and nothing was a bother to her. She kept us right with all of the documents and the paperwork and made everything so clear. The ceremony was so personal, it was completely unique to us and that is a total reflection of the time and effort she put's into the work that she does. Romy is incredible at her job and she made our wedding ceremony so special. She strike's the perfect balance of humour, sentimentality and love with her ceremonies.

Her ceremony was so thoughtful and it was clear that she had spent a considerable amount of time preparing. Everyone said that our ceremony was so special. She was super professional and helpful. We would 100% recommend her for anyone getting married and looking for someone who will put together a very personal and lovely ceremony.

We were so happy with all of our interactions with Romy, she was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We managed to turn around our ceremony in a matter of days thanks to her. She was available night and day by phone and email to answer all my pesky questions. She was amazing in the lead up to and on the day itself - and made it all so easy and straightforward.



Her personality on the day was so warm and lovely in addition to ultra-efficient and flexible - very unusual combination in my experience, but invaluable given the circumstances. She also has a lovely calm aura which really helped when things got a little stressful at the last minute? She has a great sense of humour too and really fitted in to our tiny covid ceremony. I can?t recommend her enough!

Nothing about our day went as we intended except for the fact that we actually got married. We also had to plan it with one of us was in the states and other one here. Originally, Gabreilla was to marry us but the whole world came to a shut down because of COVID and up until 2 weeks before the wedding, we had no idea if it would even be allowed. Through the whole process Romy was right there for us every step of the way, she even found a venue for us that were willing to make it work for us and be within all the travel restrictions. We had no clue what we where doing from the start and she provided us with information and ideas to really make the ceremony about us. I cant thank her enough for how personal she made the ceremony and the extra little bits she put into it all. Considering we had a micro wedding and where not allowed family, she ensured that everyone watching on the laptop had a beautiful view of us and the venue. She dealt with so many adversities to ensure that our ceremony and day was special and for a moment we forgot Covid even was a thing. We are having our "big" wedding day next year with family and we have asked Romy to re preform the ceremony so all our family and friends can enjoy it the way we intended.
Thanks so much for everything.

In the moment of you both saying your vows to each other, even with your family only able to watch on via a computer screen, everything in the outside world just melted away, and the only thing that mattered was you two.

My husband and I planned our destination wedding in Ireland at Kilkea Castle from Texas. Planning a wedding overseas can be quite stressful, but with the help of amazing vendors it is so worth the effort. Wes and I have been trying to find the words to fully express our gratitude for the role Romy played in our wedding day. The ceremony was beyond beautiful and far exceeded all of our expectations. We can't thank Romy enough for all of the hours she spent leading up to the day talking with us, getting to know us, learning about our love for one another, and crafting a ceremony that was absolutely perfect. She was kind, personable, and professional throughout the entire process. We have gotten so many nice comments from our guests on how eloquently spoken she was and how tailored the ceremony was for us, and we couldn't agree more. We have enjoyed reminiscing on that day, and wish we could go back and re-live March 14 over and over. We must also give Romy a huge thank you for showing up for us as COVID-19, a global pandemic, began to shut the world down. We highly recommend Romy.

Where do we begin.... Romy was recommended to us by close friends after they attended a wedding in August 2018 where they were simply blown away by how beautiful it was and really could not speak higher of the celebrant. Fast forward 12months and we are that couple praising Romy and a Beautiful Ceremony (its all in the name really)!

From our first telephone discussion I knew this was going to be something special, Romy sent us a few questionnaires both as a couple and individually where we could give her feedback on one another, we met in November around 8wks before our big day and from there she created the most beautiful and memorable celebration, one we will treasure forever! Although we're only married a little over 2wks I've had so many wonderful compliments from family & friends who attended the day, I wish I could share all of our pictures from the ceremony to show just how much love and laughter was in the room - all made so very special by Romy.

If you are getting married and want a celebration that really outlines YOU as a couple, so personal and loving then please please make the right choice and contact A Beautiful Ceremony, you will not be sorry! We're anticipating our video so we can relive it all over again.

Much Love always,
Aimee & Stephen xx

We cannot speak highly enough of Romy as a celebrant. We live in London so all of our contact in the run up to the wedding was over Skype video call, email etc. This did not stop Romy understanding exactly what we were looking for, and we felt like we knew her by the time we met on the day. She had a wonderful way of putting people, us, the audience, everyone (!) at ease, and we had the perfect combination of warmth and informality that we wanted as part of the ceremony (though still incorporating several formal/ traditional aspects). Many guests complimented the service being one of the best they had attended, in particular noting Romy. We were delighted we chose her for the ceremony and she will forever be part of that happy memory.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Romy throughout the entire wedding process. I really wanted our Solemniser to see who we were as a couple and to reflect that in the service. Romy spent alot of time getting to know us and I really felt that came through in the service, it was not in anyway forced or generic. I spent a lot of time researching different celebrants throughout Ireland and knew Romy was the best after the very first conversation (even though she lived furthest from our venue-we really wanted her). She made me feel instantly at ease and gave us so much guidance and flexibility over our service from start to finish. She balanced our ceremony beautifully; it it was light and humerus at times (without being silly), romantic, emotional and incredibly memorable. She diffused all of that pre-ceremony tension from the room immediately. We have had so compliments about our service in the past month, saying how beautiful and relaxed it was. It was definitely one of my favourite parts of the entire day, and I am so thankful to Romy for making it what it was. I could not recommend her more.

We couldn't have asked for anyone better than Romy. She orchestrated the best day of our lives and it wouldn't have been the same without her.
She kept the both of us calm and was able to inject some humour into the ceremony while keeping it very professional.
She was also kind enough to stay behind after the ceremony to help the photographer with some of his shots.
We chose Romy after some recommendations we had found and we couldn't be happier.
Highly highly recommended!

If you want a very personal and at the same time uplifting ceremony then book Romy. We met her once 2weeks before the wedding and filled in her questionnaire and that resulted in guests asking us how long Romy knew us because she made the ceremony sound like us being friends for a long time. Everyone commented on how touching the ceremony was but also how funny and lighthearted. Romy stayed around for a long time afterwards just chatting with everyone and they all loved her. She is so easy going and checked in with us on the day to make sure we know what will happen and we?re relaxed, she fixed the flowers for the grooms party and asked everyone very nicely to put the phones away so when I walked in I could see everyone?s face instead of a sea of phones and I will never forget this experience.

Our celebrant was Romy and from the beginning to the end, the service was amazing. I have always assumed that the ceremony part of the wedding would be very cumbersome and difficult to plan out, but to my suprise Romy was with us every step of the way. I could not be more happy with how our ceremony turned out, extra steps were taken to wrap our crios and our wedding ring pouch. Our certificate was placed in a protective envelope to keep it safe while we traveled, it's all in the detail and Romy got all the details right.

Romy totally exceeded my expectations from start to finish! She made the process so light and easy so it didn't seem like an overwhelming task as some might think. The day of the ceremony I was taken back on how everything flowed seamlessly. I definitely appreciated how she listened to the details and never veered from what we specifically wanted. She is truly a professional and you can tell she takes pride in what she does. Words cannot express how grateful I am that she was apart of our special day. I highly recommend Romy and I hope that she will be available for a future vow renewal!

Jac & Marcus... So great to meet you both for your big day in Waterford. I know, from personal experience, it can be a little stressful planning a wedding from overseas. But you know you had such an awesome team with you along the way - and for me, I was absolutely honoured to be a part of it too. Thank you both for taking the time to write your reviews. Thank you for sharing the gorgeous photos from the day too!! x Romy

Romy is simply amazing. She is warm, kind, funny and she made our ceremony so personal and incredibly special.To be honest, she blew every expectation we had out of the park. Not only was she a pleasure to talk to/e-mail prior to the day, but on the day she guided us and made us feel so comfortable. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and we will be forever grateful to her for creating such a special ceremony. 10/10 from us.

Romy is fantastic. We arrived in Ireland, hoping to elope (but with no plans at all!) and after we found Romy everything came together beautifully. We were both surprised how meaningful and personal the ceremony and vows were, and we couldn?t have planned a better day if we had taken years to do it. Thank you for everything Romy.

oh Haley, what can I say... THANK YOU to yourself & Brian for asking me to help you both with your spur-of-the-moment Elopement! It really was a buzz of a week - from that first email.. the story of how you found out about me (mission is still to find out who that Immigration guy is in Cork airport!!).. through to the calm of the storm, and just that absolutely stunning evening next to the castle ruins. It was such a pleasure to help you both put together a beautiful moment. Thank you for sharing the gorgeous photos and video.. Beautiful memories forever.

Romy was such a sweet delight to work with. What I really enjoyed and appreciated most about her was that she was incredibly invested in and eager to ensure that our ceremony was perfect for us as a couple and not just something cookie cutter. She provided a ton of resources, was always available to schedule a call when we felt like we wanted to chat something through, and was open to any feedback that we had on the script as she took no request for modification personally. In the end, she surprised us by reading a few of our own words about each other, which I'm pretty sure left no dry eyes in the house. Afterwards, a number of our friends and family came up to us to tell us what a wonderful job they thought she did.

Working with Romy was second to none! Though we were corresponding across continents (we live in the US, and were planning a wedding in Ireland) Romy was a joy to communicate with from start to finish, with extremely helpful insights and an eagerness to make our day unforgettable. Even though we had not met in person prior to our wedding day, we felt like we had known her for years. Romy brought her refined expertise but was committed to crafting a ceremony that was personally tailored to our vision. We would highly recommend Romy for any couples planning to tie the knot on the Emerald Isle!

Where can we begin with the service offered by A Beautiful Ceremony on our wedding day.
Since we met Romy at the wedding fair , we had a strong connection and seemed that we knew her for a long time and there was no doubt we were going to pick ABC as the celebrant of our special day.
Romy is so professional and she knows exactly how to make you feel special.
From day one she emailed us all the details required for delivering the best ceremony and she was in contact with us to make sure that everything will go according to the plan. She was so friendly and we felt that she was part of our family as she tailored the ceremony to match our love story. There are no words to express how we felt that day and how our families felt too.
We would highly recommend ABC for any type of ceremony as they are very flexible and they make the experience unique to every couple as it is not just a standard ceremony, it is a personalized ceremony that they put together and deliver it in a royal way.

We could not thank ABC enough for all the effort (but I know there was no effort as everything is a pleasure to ABC) and the thought that went in to create a fairy tale moment.

Its hard to put into words how much Romy's contribution made to our wedding day. From our first meet ups and conversations prior to the wedding we both felt like we had known Romy for years and wouldn't have wanted anyone else as our celebrant on the day. The wedding service was tailored so uniquely to ourselves and our relationship. Many of our guests commented on how special it was. Romy went above and beyond on the day, meeting with us well in advance of the service and helping out with everything from Groomsmen button holes, helping stage pictures to advice and putting us at ease. We both feel very grateful to have had Romy with us on our wedding day.

I couldn't recommend Romy high enough! I wasn't super involved as a groom but I know Romy was easy to work with for my bride and the Skype chats that I joined were really a good time! We had some specific wants in mind for our ceremony after dreaming together of it for 10 years before saying 'I do'. Romy incorporated all of this and gave us great advise and direction on everything! We really loved her idea of a ring warming for our vibe and unique set up being from the states and bringing our family abroad with us. Romy made our day very special!

We approached Gabrielle and Romy about 10 months before our wedding, and from then on our experience with them was second to none. We live in the UK and when we came to Slane to do a food tasting at our venue, Gabe met us to discuss how we might like the ceremony to go. What was scheduled for a short chat ended up with us talking for almost 3 hours! We talked about our individual stories and those of us as a couple, our loves and interests, and those of our families and friends. Gabe took us through all the ceremony options and we discussed readings and music. It was such an enjoyable and warm experience, we really felt so comfortable and familiar with Gabe from the outset.

We had lots of communication back and forth in the interim, with Gabe being super patient with our sometimes slow responses! On the day of the wedding, Gabe arrived hours early to get a feel for the venue and the ceremony space. She met with me (the Groom) 2 hours before the ceremony to go over everything and make sure we were all comfortable, before meeting with the bride to do the same afterwards.

The ceremony was just stunning. We lost track of how many comments we had from guests afterwards about how beautiful, personal and uplifting it was. We went for a non-religious ceremony, but Gabe helped us to sprinkle references to religion in there to make those religious members of our family feel welcome and part of the ceremony (my dad read a religious prayer of the faithful, for example), and this was remarked on so positively by those family members.

We couldn't recommend Gabe and Romy highly enough, and we will 100% be recommending them to any friends getting married in the years to come.
Response from Romy McAuley - OSE Registered Solemniser
Ah, Cian & Ciara.. A huge thank you to you both for such a lovely review.

I'm so pleased that you found us and that we got the ceremony exactly right for you all.

From only 9 months before the wedding Romy provisionaly saved a date for us. She helped me so much because I really had no idea on how it all worked and my local marriage office didn't really have any advice on our alternative wedding type. Romy went out of her way to personalise every aspect of our wedding service and really was a breath of calm air on the day. Her knowledge and professionalism was something to be desired and if I did it again I would choose her 10 times over. Amazing

I had to organise our wedding in ?shotgun? style with just days to the 3 month notice requirement. Romy was the first celebrant I spoke to & I think I laughed & smiled through the whole call & beyond. I knew I didn?t need to make any more calls. She was the one.

Romy was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. At very short notice she agreed to come out to meet us at our venue & set out all that needed to be done in a very relaxed and calm manner, taking on board all our thoughts & ideas and making it all seem possible. My skeptical groom was instantly convinced and reassured.

We worked together around hectic schedules to get our ceremony order and wording just right for our unique set up and when the day came, she managed minor set up & equipment changes with ease & grace, helped pin buttonholes, reassured us at key moments, chatted with family & friends & just became part of our intimate group with zero fuss, & delivered our ceremony with charm & heaps of good humour! Our photos are evidence to this - I didn?t stop laughing all day. It was perfect in every way.

Given the tight turnaround we hadn?t planned on anything more than a registry office signing (with a more traditional wedding to follow at a later date) but Romy helped us transform it into the most perfect day, one which all our guests agree would be hard to beat!

Thank you Romy for giving us this most precious day and a truly Beautiful (& unforgettable) Ceremony!

Claire - I will forever have just the most wonderful memories of your amazing day. From that very first phone call that we had.. and catching up in Ben's family home, where we ultimately had just the most beautiful ceremony. I am so very grateful that I was able to give you both just everything that you wanted. I will always have fab memories of our little "private" ceremony in the park... outside the cafe, eating ice-creams, and bubbles floating about us.. through to having that amazing personal ceremony back at the house. Having your dad being able to share the day with you.. made it so special. And i'll never forget the impromptu song as you walked downstairs, sung by your entire family & clan. "You're, going to the park and you're, gonna get married.. going to the park and you're, gonna get married!!!".. I managed to get a tiny bit on video...I very much hope that someone else did for you too! WHAT A MEMORY!! THANK YOU!! xx Romes

I cannot thank Gabrielle and Romy enough for the very heartfelt and beautiful ceremony they orchestrated for our wedding day - it really was delivered from the heart, by the wonderful Gabrielle, who carried all our guests along with her fun and cheerful personality. All our guests were asking after Gabrielle and commenting on how personal and relaxed the ceremony was. The daunting prospect of organising a wedding ceremony seemed like a breeze with Romy on hand for suggestions, to edit and make changes right up to the last minute. I would recommend these ladies for any ceremony or service - I can't wait to work with them again :)))

Romy was the perfect celebrant for us and we can?t imagine our ceremony now with anyone else. From our first telephone conversation, we knew Romy would bring the perfect combination of friendliness, warmth and professionalism to our day. Everything she did was so thorough with lovely little touches such as a pack of memories and records of the day for us to take on honeymoon to read. So many of our guests were commenting on the ceremony and saying it was the best wedding ceremony they had ever been part of. On the day, Romy was amazing, even chipping in to move some chairs when the groomsmen got distracted! She was brilliant with all of the guests, family and our bridal party including our 2 flower girls under 6. During the ceremony, we cried, we laughed and we enjoyed ourselves so much! We would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Romy for this award.

Romy has really efficient methods for getting to know the couple in order to allow her to able to write a personal ceremony, that truly reflected our personalities and our relationship. On the day itself, she was so organised and she was there well in advance of when she needed to be, popping up to both the bride and grooms room to run us through everything and ease us into the day. We received so much good feedback about our ceremony, with people saying it was one of the best they had been to.

She really takes the time to get to know you as a couple and that's why the ceremonies she performs are so heartfelt.

This is the second time we have booked Romy-she married my husband and I almost 5 years ago and this year she helped us welcome our new baby boy to the family with a naming ceremony. She is So professional but makes you feel like family. Nobody can compare. The whole process was effortless and Romy genuinely cares about giving you the ceremony you?ve been dreaming of. I really hope we get to use Romy?s services again in the future. xx

Caroline, your beautiful beautiful wedding in Barberstown... you had everyone, including me, in tears with the most special entrance. That day is forever in my heart.
and for yourself & Richard to think of me for this next milestone in your family, with introducing Ezra - I say it so much, but it really is such a pleasure and honor. THANK YOU. I absolutely would be over the moon to be able to celebrate a next gorgeous addition to your already perfect family. Thank you for sending me the adorable photos of Ezra!! Huge hugs & kisses. xx Romes

We were married recently and we couldn't have asked for a more special and personal ceremony, thanks to Romy. When we met Romy she was so lovely and had great ideas for our ceremony. We were able to create a ceremony that was exactly what we wanted under her guidance.She helped us to incorporate the music we wanted. She was a calming voice of reassurance when we met her and on the day itself. Our guests all commented on how different and special the ceremony was, which was really nice to hear on the day. They were all so impressed by Romy and a particular aspect of our ceremony was commented on by everyone, and that was all her idea too. I think she knows exactly what you are looking for and tailors it from there. We were so happy with our ceremony and Romy's wonderful words that meant so much on the day.

Thank you again. And thank you for sending the gorge photo too!! Definitely one for the album! xx Romes

Romy worked with us to deliver a naming ceremony for our twins. We LOVED working with her.
Romy met with us initially, to get an understanding of the type of ceremony that we wanted. She then helped us to refine our ceremony over the next few weeks, so that the cermony turned out exactly as we had hoped.
The ceremony was delivered at our house and she was utterly professional on the day. Romy is superb to work with and brings her; warmth, kindness and fun to everything she does.
Response from Romy McAuley - OSE Registered Solemniser
Ah Gearoid & Séamus, SUCH a pleasure to work with you both again! It's always a complete honour to help with amazing wedding ceremonies - and yours back in 2015 was fantastic.
Then to have you both think of me for such a beautiful and personal, special moment in your lives - to introduce your gorgeous twins to your families... it really was humbling for me. THANK YOU for welcoming me into your beautiful home. For the four of you, hugs & kisses, Romes

From the first day we spoke with and met with Romy we knew we were in great hands. The whole process of putting together our ceremony was so much fun as Romy made it so straightforward for us to customise every element.

The ceremony itself was amazing and we would both highly recommend Romy to any future couples.

All it took was one meeting with Romy to know we had the perfect person. She went out of her way to meet us on a Sunday morning and was very clear and concise and immediately filled us with a lot of confidence. Myself and my wife are into music and we got a very good singer for our wedding and Romy was able to work it in wonderfully with the Ceremony. She was able to bring laughs as well as a great sense of occasion to day. We had everyone commenting on how great she was and delighted she was such a prominent part of our day

Dealing with Romy was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She was very accommodating and made the whole experience completely stress free. We planned the ceremony from overseas and had a number of Skype calls to get everything in order.
The choice of services offered from A Beautiful Ceremony is outstanding. We could choose from traditions from all manner of cultures and customs. We chose to tie the knot with a handfasting ceremony and got to take home the material used, still bound as it was during the wedding. A fantastic touch we will surely treasure.
Cannot recommend highly enough!

Thank you so much to you both!! It was really such a pleasure to help you all with such a lovely day. From all our chats over Skype... to the slightly mad day of the power outage!! it was lovely to be able to be there for your gorgeous intimate ceremony with your close family.

From day one Romy made us feel at ease, and was simply amazing on the day. We decided on an intimate ceremony that was personal to us and Romy certainly delivered. It was just perfect. We smiled, we laughed and we even had a few 'happy tears' shed. It was so Special to us. Thank you so much for being part of our day, we can't recommend you guys enough. Wishing you all the very best for the future as you most certainly deserve that,

Romy married us in December 2017. The most important thing for me is she is a very natural person, easy to talk to and ask advice from.
On the day of the wedding she was very calm and professional and that permeated to everyone attending. She also was able to sort and position the wedding party into their places so subtly and went beyond the call of duty to enquire with our venue about a shortage of chairs at our ceremony. So many of our guests told us the ceremony was beautiful, different, enjoyable. Thanks for keeping us calm Romy and thank you for adding so much to our big day.

If you?re looking for a fabulous, well guided, and personalized ceremony then you must absolutely go with A Beautiful Ceremony.

My wife and I travelled to Ireland for our wedding ceremony and got married at the Falls Hotel in Ennistymon. About 6 months before the wedding we began searching online for celebrants and talked with many different companies. Some of the companies seemed too Corporate for what we were looking for and others just didn?t seem like the right fit. We found A Beautiful Ceremony and set up a Skype call with Romy. The second we began speaking with Romy we knew we had found our celebrant. She was very personable, warm, and engaging. She was everything we were looking for!

The months preceding the ceremony Romy was on point sending us information and documents to help us select the format of the wedding. She provided excellent guidance and was by far our favourite vendor to work with leading up to the big day. A Beautiful Ceremony offers any type of ceremony your looking for and will personalize it to your tastes. We made our selections and sent her our own written vows which Romy had prepared for us the day of.

On the day of the wedding we made the decision to go with an outdoor ceremony on the front lawn of the Falls Hotel. There were about 20 friend and family that travelled with us, so it was a nice smaller ceremony. The morning of we were an absolute mess, running to nearby towns to pick up tuxes, the wife hurrying to finish hair and makeup, issues with the sound system, etc. Romy arrived right on time (after a 3-hour drive!) and very patiently prepared us amidst all this chaos! She was a very calming rock during this stressful time and we greatly appreciated it. The ceremony started, and Romy took the reigns with total grace. She made the wedding very personal and special by guiding us through the knot tying, vows, and ring exchange beautifully. Her words were moving, and she did an excellent job keeping everyone engaged. The ceremony was absolutely wonderful, and I don?t believe it could have gone any better! At the closing of the ceremony we signed our documents right there on the lawn and said our goodbyes to Romy as we were headed off to take pictures by the coast. Both my wife and I didn?t want her to leave as she is such a joy to be around!

In closing, you just cannot go wrong by choosing A Beautiful Ceremony as your celebrant. They cater to your tastes and guide you through the process, from start to finish, like true professionals. If you go with A Beautiful Ceremony you have nothing to worry about!

We chose Romy from 'A Beautiful Ceremony' to be our celebrant at our wedding.
From the moment first contact was made we knew we made the right decision. Romy is so lovely to talk to that our Skype chats went on for hours! She listened to every crazy idea we had, made suggestions and recommendations and went on to create a wedding ceremony that we will never forget.
She made the ceremony so very personal it felt like I had known her for years! And I feel now I have made a friend for life.
If you are getting married I strongly recommend her because what she delivered was truly a beautiful ceremony.

Being from what would be called a 'mixed' religion couple, we decided to go for a non-religious and a bit more unusual ceremony. We found Romy at a wedding fair. Her joy and smile won us over straight away.
Romy even went WAY above and beyond as I had a surprise reading planned from my (now) husbands favourite author. Romy emailed and printed not one, but two versions of the ceremony, to keep the surprise special. She gave us a beautiful moment we will cherish forever.
Thank you Romy x

A Beautiful Cermony " Romy " made our day so very special. From our first meeting we knew we had made the right choice to have Romy as our wedding officiant. The sky was the limit regarding our options and this was so fantastic.
No matter how often I mailed Romy, she always replied with positive feedback, new ideas and suggestions.
Most of all was her calmness and direction on our big day. We didn't have to worry about a thing because she had everything organised and under control, even the readings with the BIG print:-)
Every part of the cermony was us and thats what we loved.
Romy is extremely professional and will make your cermony unforgettable.
Thank You Romy

I cant thank Romy enough for all that she helped us with in the weeks and days coming up to our wedding, she was fantastic. On the day itself, she was so incredibly positive, supportive and calm. When we first decided to have a non-denominational wedding, we were totally at sea and quite anxious about how it would all work - we were in safe hands, the ceremony was wonderful. Thanks Romy, you were instrumental in making our day so special
