What makes life’s big moments meaningful? For me, it was the realization that family and connection deserve to be celebrated. And if you know me well enough, you will know that I will not let any celebration go amiss.
Family and connections deserve customized ceremonies that are as unique as the people they celebrate. Break the mold, write your own traditions; it’s your wedding, and it should feel like the story you intend to tell for the rest of your life.
I love people, all people, who just want to be themselves and have that reflected in their personalized wedding ceremonies. Your story doesn't need to be polished or just like someone else’s.
My job isn’t to tell you how to love, but to listen to the story you already have and build your ceremony around that. As an experienced celebrant, I create ceremonies that feel like you, and not a copy & paste.

Hi I’m Maria, a Derry Girl and wedding Enthusiast
This is a little bit about me and how I became an experienced celebrant allowed to marry people.
For the last 15 years or so, I’ve planned weddings, run weddings, and rescued weddings.
As a full planner, on-the-day fixer, timeline commander, MC, and vow-writer, I’ve served as the full-service planner and the calm amidst the chaos coordinator.
After spending years behind the scenes of countless weddings, I decided it was time for a change and to follow my own path.
Now, I’m excited to offer personalized wedding ceremonies and create customized ceremonies for all you lovely people.
No pressure.
Tidbits and Trivia
I love music, especially the sounds of Queens of The Stone Age. The winter sun isn’t my favorite; it really hurts my eyes. I enjoy tea and cake, particularly from Hunters bakery. I believe in celebrating everything because life passes you by if you don’t create a reason to be with your people. My husband, Ciarán, who I think is great, often comes up in conversation. As a dog mum to Digsy the dawg, a Coton de Tulear with an Oasis-inspired name, I have my hands full. With three kids in three years, I made a bold choice there! I must confess, I don’t like biscoff; in fact, I’d say I HATE biscoff. People have described me as being funny on occasion—not often, but sometimes! As an experienced celebrant, I focus on creating customized ceremonies and personalized wedding ceremonies that truly reflect the essence of each couple.
