When your job takes you to one of your favourite spots in Ireland! I love the Sky Road 💖 Clifden Castle stands at the Clifden end of the Sky Road, and while I’ve seen it from a distance, I’ve never been up close and personal with it. That will change in June! Looking forward to marrying L&D there, and finally getting to touch the old stones that comprise this beautiful castle 🥰✨💖

💍✨ WEDDING WEDNESDAY ✨💍

After such a lovely day at the wedding fair on Sunday, wedding planning is very much top of mind! Some of the beautiful conversations were about one thing: how to protect the joy of the day. 🥰

Planning your wedding should feel exciting and intentional, not heavy with tension or quiet pressure. These points are suitable for everyone, so read on! However, if you’re navigating complex family dynamics as an LGBTQ+ couple, please know this - you are not alone, and you deserve a ceremony that feels fully and unapologetically yours.

Here are a few gentle reminders I often share:
✨ Set boundaries early, and communicate them clearly
✨ Surround yourselves with people who uplift and affirm your relationship
✨ It’s okay to limit involvement from those who bring stress
✨ Honour chosen family in ways that reflect your real journey
✨ Remember - your wedding is a celebration of love, not a performance for approval

Under Brehon Law, marriage was entered into freely, between equals, with full consent and understanding. That spirit still matters. Your ceremony should feel grounded in respect, safety, and truth. 🗣️

I’m really looking forward to continuing those conversations with couples; helping you shape a ceremony that holds your story with care, clarity, and intention.

✨☘️ WEDDING WEDNESDAY ☘️✨

When Pachelbel’s Canon in D walks into an Irish trad session… and suddenly finds its rhythm 🎻

This clip honestly feels like the perfect metaphor for celebrancy.

It starts off with those classic wedding aisle vibes…
and then it evolves into something full of Irish session energy - joyful, powerful, and completely alive.

And isn’t that exactly what a great ceremony should be?

A blending of
✨ Two worlds.
✨ Two families.
✨ Two backgrounds.
✨ Two belief systems.
✨ Two sets of opinions. 😄

A ceremony where tradition is honoured…
but individuality still gets to shine.

Because love doesn’t have to fit into one box; it can be a beautiful mix of everything that brought you here. 💖

Thank you to for letting our Coillte Come Home to Kiltimagh to play in with her tour musicians, joined by regular Friday night seisiún players 🪕 .ollie 🪈 and .gary 🪗. Lá Iontach ar fad 🫶👏🏻💖🇮🇪☘️

✨ Rebrand Launch Day ✨

This evening I’m officially introducing my refreshed branding, and I’m so excited to finally share it 🙏🏻

My colours haven’t changed (because I still adore them), but I wanted my overall look to feel more like me: a little more Celtic, a little more grounded, and more reflective of the kind of ceremonies I create ✨

You’ll start seeing new details woven through my visuals: ogham-inspired elements, softer fonts, and a more timeless feel across my logo, pull-up banner, business cards, and eventually my website 🌍

And I’ve also included an eight-pointed star 🌟
It reflects the necklace I wear every day; a quiet way of honouring my organ donor, who has been a huge inspiration behind why I chose this path.

It doesn’t feel like a complete change… more like a coming home.
Same heart. Same values. Just a clearer reflection of the work I love doing.

I’d love to know what you think…

Of all the ceremonies I’ve had the honour of leading, funeral ceremonies are always the ones that sit deepest.

Today’s was particularly emotional - my first funeral for someone younger than me. A leaves behind a huge legacy in her beautiful sons and her devoted husband, and in the love that filled the room for her.

It was also my first bilingual funeral ceremony, shared in English, and in my very basic Portuguese, but it felt so important to honour every part of who she was, and where she came from.

It was also a pleasure to work with Colin McCusker and his team at Massey Bros. funeral Home in Goatstown. His warm and calming presence brought a beautiful gravitas to the occasion.

It was a privilege to hold space for A’s family and friends to remember, to grieve, and to celebrate a truly beautiful person, inside and out.

Descansa em Paz, A. 🙏🏻
