Gabrielle was truly wonderful.
She was the perfect person to marry us and we are so incredibly thankful for her kindness.
She has such a warm spirit.
She made us feel so special. She even had to compose herself during the ceremony a couple of time to not cry, which was incredibly touching!!
Chelsie & Andrew
I had rung Romy with 4 days left before the wedding.
We couldn't have had a better person for the ceremony
so easy to do everything we had to do. All of the guest said it to us also. How lovely you were and how relaxed they felt while in the ceremony.
Seamus & Lorraine
We are so so so thankful and feel so incredibly lucky to have had Romy as our celebrant on April 19th 2025. Romy made our ceremony so special and personal. It was absolutely beautiful and magical from start to finish. We can not recommend Romy enough, she was incredible from the moment we booked with her, she helped us with every step towards getting our green book and explained every step of the ceremony with us in the weeks coming up to the wedding.
She made us feel so at ease, and due to all of this, we had zero stress on the day.
The ceremony couldn’t have been any better than it was and everyone talked about how amazing the ceremony and Romy were. We are and always will be so thankful to Romy for this..
Elaine & Graham
This lady truly deserves more than 5 stars. Romy you made our day so so special and I cannot thank you enough for that. To anyone reading this, you need Romy as your celebrant on the big day. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll enjoy every minute of it. So many memories were made at our ceremony all thanks to this amazing lady, so thank you for everything❤️❤️❤️
Ciara-Louise & Mark
Romy truly made our ceremony so special.
Romy kept us at ease from the moment we met. She has such a lovely calming presence but with a sense of humour we really enjoyed. She was very easy going and happy to listen to any inputs we had, or changes we wanted to make to the ceremony.
Communication was mainly via email in the weeks leading up to the ceremony where Romy always listened to our requests and hopes for the big day. She was very keen to make it as personal to us as we wanted.
The ceremony was really
one of my favourite parts of the day
I put this all down to Romy as her energy, joy and presence all added to what we can only describe as the perfect ceremony.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Romy to anyone! An amazing person, so kind and professional.
Ian & Erik
We feel so lucky to have had Romy as our celebrant for our wedding.
From the first email Romy was friendly, professional and clearly enthusiastic about her role. She is so helpful in the lead up and always there if there’s a question.
Romy created the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony for us, even sharing our excitement at having our dog be ring bearer. She really brought our relationship to life in such an amazing way.
.
All of our guests raved about the ceremony and it really set the tone for the rest of the day.
I honestly can’t thank Romy enough and highly recommend her.
Fiona & James
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, Gabrielle 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.
Love Tamara & Richie
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..
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!
Sarah & Eoin
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.
I couldn’t recommend her enough and I know for certain that for any future weddings in our family, that we will be seeing her again!
Orla & Andrew
Dearest Gabrielle,
We would like to Thank You for the wonderful Wedding Ceremony you did for us.
We could not have wished for a more beautiful atmosphere.
You fitted in so easily with the family and friends. It was as if you had always been a part of the group. Loads of people came up to us afterwards to say how much they enjoyed the ceremony and what a beautiful job you did.
We have also had a few friends asking for your number because they are getting married this year and would like to see if you are available to be there celebrant. Be prepared for a few phone calls so :)
Again, Thank You so much, Gabrielle.
It was an honour to have you with us on our special day
and who knows, maybe our paths will cross again. Also, thanks so so much to Romy for organising everything. We will definitely recommend you should anyone ask us who to get for their ceremony.

My grandfather has been a minister all my life and because I was getting married abroad in Ireland, I was the first grandchild to have a wedding where my grandfather didn’t preside over the ceremony. Therefore, for my now husband and I, choosing a celebrant for our wedding ceremony was a very personal and important part of planning. Our planner Annie (Aislinn Events) paired us with Romy and it was the PERFECT match.
Romy is one of the most kind, thoughtful, and poetic people we’ve ever met. She somehow captured the true essence of Bret and I’s relationship. It was as if we had known her the last 10 years instead of just 10-months!
She not only connected with us on a deeply personal level but she connected with our friends and family. She worked closely with us to combine various ceremony styles and rituals; we wanted to include some of my grandfather’s ceremony structure with personal readings and some traditional Irish rituals. And it came together beautifully.
Romy brought the ceremony to life through her wisdom and stories and brought together all the differing elements, making every moment feel authentic to Bret and I.
Mary & Bret
One of the most complimented moments of our entire wedding celebration from our friends and family was how beautiful, engaging, and special our ceremony was;
all thanks to Romy.
Me & my husband were married in June this year at the Millhouse in Slane. I initially contacted Romy, based on good vibes from her website and I do not have any regrets. We had an initial Zoom call to make sure we were a good match, and got plenty of good information about applying for a marriage certificate.
Romy’s website is a treasure trove of information and it allowed me to create a ceremony that felt right for me & my husband. We went for a handfasting ceremony. There’s also an optional questionnaire which really personalised the whole ceremony. You and your partner both fill out a separate questionnaire and you don’t know what your partner has said about you until the day of the wedding.
She’s such a great person to deal with from start to finish, lovely bubbly personality which is just what you need on the day.
I would not hesitate in recommending Romy from a Beautiful Ceremony for a wedding.
Thank you so much for making our day so special Romy! Five stars x
Lynda & Robin
Gabrielle performed our ceremony in October 2024. We initially met with Gabrielle to make sure that we would be a good fit for the day, and it was immediately clear that she understood exactly what we wanted. She took such time to get to know us and make the ceremony personal and meaningful. Every one of our guests remarked on how beautiful the ceremony was and how the atmosphere that Gabrielle created was simply perfect.
On the day, she felt like a friend rather than just a celebrant.
We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Eva
I can’t recommend Romy enough!
Our celebrant was one of the first things we booked as we knew how important it was for us to have someone there who wasn’t just reading from a script.
Romy was incredible from the very start. Explaining everything to us so clearly and giving us so much help and options for what we could do for our ceremony.
On the day itself she was such a calm and professional presence and during the ceremony she was able to seamlessly blend the words we wrote about each other.
It felt so personal and like it was a friend who was talking to us and our guests.
Everyone was raving about how personal, warm and emotional our ceremony was and so much of that was down to Romy.
If you are looking for a celebrant for your wedding who will take the time to get to know your story and deliver the most heartfelt ceremony then I couldn’t recommend Romy highly enough.
Thank you so much Romy for making our day so special, we couldn't have asked for better!

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 intimate 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.
We met Gabrielle to plan our ceremony for 2020. We knew we made the right choice when we met her.
Gabrielle really listened to us
She 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 recommend Gabrielle & Romy to any of our friends in the future. They really made our day.
Thank you both very much!
Fionnuala & Cormac xx
I am so grateful to have found Romy to solemise our wedding! I honestly couldn't speak highly enough of her.
From the moment we met her I knew she would be perfect for us, her bubbly, bright, positive attitude is exactly what you want on the day of your wedding!
The ceremony was so magical for us,
and honestly, it was the highlight of the day
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.
Jessica & Jonny
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.
Callie & Wes
One word to describe “A Beautiful Ceremony”.
AMAZING!
A huge thank you for making our Ceremony so perfect. Romy you were amazing! Personable, Funny, Respectful and so professional.
Your love for what you do shines a thousand stars.
It was an absolute pleasure working with you leading up to our wedding and nothing was to big or small, giving us some beautiful readings and vows to choose from and also personalising the ceremony to really connect with not just us but all our guests which are still talking about it to me today.
It was an absolute pleasure to have A beautiful Ceremony as part of our day and I would recommend this service to anyone looking for an wedding officiant as its making a day to remember and memories for a lifetime
Love Clare & Niall Carroll
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
- 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. 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.
Kristin
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!
Mike
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 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!
Jay
I couldn't recommend Romy anymore! As an overseas bride with their partner for a decade I had some rather specific ideas in mind for our ceremony and Romy helped navigate the waters with her expertise and blew us away day of!
She was both wonderful to work with and to be with on the day of the wedding.
Our guests also agreed and thought she was just perfect, she made our day very special! Thank you again Romy!!
Kaila
A Beautiful Ceremony " 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 Celebrant.
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 ceremony was us and thats what we loved.
Romy is extremely professional and will make your ceremony unforgettable. Thank You Romy
