Congratulations Mr & Mrs Keane! 👰‍♀️💍🤵

A magical setting for marriage at The Fernery, Fernhill Hotel & Estate 🌳

Fernhill Hotel & Estate in Clonakilty is set amongst stunning landscaped gardens, including a winding path that leads down to their fabulous wedding space The Fernery, complete with gorgeous big windows at one end which open onto lawns and a fountain. The stuff of dreams! No wonder Fernhill has been voted Europe’s Best Historic Wedding Venue! 💒

Dreams came true for the truly lovely Anita and David who tied the knot with a handfasting ceremony 📿 comprising of different coloured ribbons brought up by guests, a unity candle ceremony 🕯 and two readings. We enjoyed super live music from Delta String Quartet for the couple’s entrance, certificate signing, rituals and finale down the aisle! 🎶

In addition to their legal vows, Anita and David also included reading personal vows they had written for each other 📖

It was a windy day, which only added to the atmosphere inside The Fernery, and the sun shone as guests gathered outside to toast the bride and groom on their first day of marriage 💜✨

The ceremony at The Fernery would not have been possible without these amazing people:

Congratulations to Ballygarry Estate, Hotel and Spa on being recognised as one of Ireland's Top 3 Hotels in the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Awards 2026. 🎉

I officiate many weddings at Ballygarry, and can personally vouch for the top class team, beautiful surroundings, and outstanding hospitality that make it such a special venue.

Just another reason that goes to show Kerry is one of Ireland's finest destination wedding locations. This recognition is yet another reminder of why couples choose to celebrate here.

Well deserved! 👏✨

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Claret! 👰‍♀️💍🤵

A truly gorgeous ceremony at The Boathouse at Sheen Falls Lodge, where Katie and Matthew celebrated their marriage.

We welcomed guests from Poland (where Katie was born) 🇵🇱 the UK (where Matthew was born) 🇬🇧and Ireland 🇮🇪 for an emotional celebration filled with love and a few tears!

Katie and Matthew tied the knot literally with a handfasting ceremony 📿 and also included a sand pouring ceremony with sand collected from their favourite beaches, which all formed part of their wedding day story.

In addition to their legal vows, Katie and Matthew also included reading their own personal vows they had written for each other 📖

With a gentle breeze blowing in from the open doors at the back of the Boathouse, we enjoyed stunning views of Kenmare Bay.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Byrne! 👰‍♀️💍🤵

And a fabulous ceremony at The Lodge 🏠 in Ballygarry Estate, where Rebecca and Dylan celebrated their marriage.

Together since they were just sweet 16, these two had lots of stories to tell, and we managed to include them all. So many of their friends who have been with them on this journey were at the ceremony and we made sure we gave them a shout out!

We included a Departed Candle for those who couldn’t be with us on the day, including Dylan’s dad, making for a very emotional celebration 🕯️

These two have a great network of friends and family who are such an important part of their relationship and it was so special to have them all there 👩‍❤️‍👨 💜

Your story deserves more than “standard”. As a writer I understand how your story wants to be told.

Whether it’s a wedding, a funeral, or a life celebration, I create ceremonies that are personal, thoughtful, warm, and full of meaning.

As a writer and celebrant, I take the time to understand the people behind the occasion, so every word feels natural and genuine.

I don’t just lead ceremonies, I help you tell your story.

Because the moments that matter most in life should never feel the same.

I love secret garden style ceremony spaces! 💜 Sunshine, stone walls, and the calmest atmosphere to say “I do.” There are so many of them in and around Kerry - I can let you into our secret!

Such an intimate experience for couples and guests alike 🤍

Some moments don’t need colour 🤍

A groom reading vows he wrote himself, a bride hearing every word, and a room holding its breath for a second longer.

Black and white somehow makes it clearer 🖤

It’s never about the “perfect” ceremony — it’s about co-creating the moment you dreamed of.

Outdoor ceremonies have a relaxed magic to them. They feel open, personal, and connected to the moment. Whether it’s a garden gathering, a woodland celebration, or vows by the water, the setting becomes part of your story.

And yes… we will always have agreed a weather plan B! This is Ireland after all ☔️🤍

Thinking of an outdoor ceremony? I’d love to help 💜
