Words That Mean the World

Every ceremony is personal, and it means so much to hear what it meant to you.

Shining the spotlight on the couple, not herself
We loved our ceremony and so did our guests - we received lots of great feedback from our guests about how wonderful the ceremony was in Rosemary’s hands. The weather obliged with sunshine on the day so we got our wish of having the ceremony outside, but it meant the wind was wreaking havoc with the candles and Rosemary’s notes - but she handled it just as professionally as everything else! She is also very mindful about shining the spotlight on the couple, not herself.

We can’t thank her enough for marrying us and making our day feel special!

Joyous & warm ceremony, full of personality & humour
Rosemary was the celebrant for our wedding in August 2023, and we are so grateful she was part of the day and created a really special ceremony. We really felt like it was a great reflection of us and inclusive of all our family and friends.

It felt like such a joyous and warm ceremony, in no small part thanks to Rosemary’s wonderful words and design of the ceremony.

Rosemary worked with us in the run up to the wedding to find readings, shape the ceremony, and to write ‘our story’ which Rosemary shared as part of the ceremony. It was relaxed and personable, and full of humour. She is a great storyteller and speaker, and we would highly recommend her for any wedding.

The perfect celebrant
Rosemary was the perfect celebrant for our wedding! From our first meeting, she guided us through the process, made us feel at ease, and helped to bring out the stories that have shaped our relationship. Rosemary designed a really personal, fun, and loving ceremony that was ideal for us. She was brilliant in the run up to the big day, and a calm and assured presence on the day itself! We would 100% recommend Rosemary as a celebrant!

A calm and reassuring presence
We were absolutely thrilled to have Rosemary as our celebrant. She was wonderful and played such a key role in making our day unforgettable. In the months leading up to the wedding, she took the time to get to know us and our story, and crafted a ceremony that reflected our personalities and relationship beautifully.

On the wedding day, Rosemary was a calm and reassuring presence. She not only conducted the ceremony with grace, but also managed two very spirited flower girls and an entire bridal party made up of children, with ease and warmth! Nothing phased her, and she handled everything effortlessly.

So much joy and laughter
Rosemary was just amazing to work with. She brought so much joy and laughter to our day; something we cannot thank her enough for. She made planning the ceremony so easy and stress free, and we felt like she really brought to life our ideas for a perfect ceremony!

Rosemary wrote us a beautiful ceremony
From start to finish Rosemary was amazing. We were looking for someone that was relaxed and that is exactly what we found. Rosemary wrote us a beautiful ceremony and was also very happy to make any changes to suit us. From the day we booked her right down to our wedding day she was amazing. I would highly recommend Rosemary to anyone looking for the perfect celebrant.

An absolute dream to work with
Rosemary is an absolute dream to work with. From our first meeting we knew we had someone special to lead our ceremony. Her attention to detail and ear for a story are amazing. Our chats transformed into the most personal and special marriage ceremony. She picked up on details that I would have deemed insignificant to weave them into an amazing ceremony. Guests (both in person and virtually) have all commented on how personal the ceremony was and how talented Rosemary is. Both my husband and I would recommend Rosemary for any ceremony that requires personalisation and a special touch.

Coolness personified
From beginning to end of our dealings with Rosemary she was a true professional. She was always kind, caring and helpful when it came to putting our ceremony together. She even incorporated our 4-year-old nephew into the ceremony beautifully where she assigned him the task of ringing the bell when we officially tied the knot. He loved every minute of it.
She was also coolness personified when it rained briefly during our outdoor ceremony, all of our guests spoke so highly of her afterwards of how she breezed past the showers and continued on without missing a beat.
If you are reading these reviews and have found your way here to Rosemary’s page then look no further. Rosemary is a true lady and we will always remember her and the beautiful ceremony she did for us at our wedding. If either of us decide to get married again Rosemary will be the first one we will call!! Thanks for everything Rosemary.

The best choice we made
Choosing Rosemary as our celebrant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She is warm, humorous and incredibly attentive, and made the entire ceremony planning process smooth and simple. And above all truly enjoyable!

From the beginning, Rosemary took the time to really get to know us as a couple. When we first read the ceremony script I cried! It was so personal and beautifully written, it felt as though she had known us for years. On the day itself she kept everything running like clockwork and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.

We had so many compliments from our guests after the ceremony. Everyone commented on how calm, engaging and heartfelt she was and how she held everyone’s attention throughout. It’s so clear that Rosemary genuinely loves what she does and she’s incredibly good at it. She was a joy to collaborate with from start to finish.

We are so grateful that she was a part of our day, and I will never forget the words she spoke during those special moments. Thank you once again. Meghan and Sean xx

She told our story perfectly
Rosemary was our celebrant in October. She was absolutely fantastic. She is a great orator and the way she told our story perfectly captured us.
All our guests said how much they enjoyed the ceremony.
She had wonderful ideas for the ceremony which we loved, incorporating traditional Irish wedding practices, which my Australian family loved. She was great at communicating. Quick email replies and zoom meetings.
Can’t recommend Rosemary enough.

The absolute best
From our first Zoom call with Rosemary, we knew she was the person we wanted with us on the day to facilitate our ceremony. The way she structured the ceremony and communicated our story was clear, thoughtful, creative, and absolutely perfect. Throughout the entire process Rosemary was helpful, quick with her responses, and such a joy to be around. It is clear that she cares very much about what she does - this shines through in everything that she does. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

We can call her a friend now
Rosemary performed our wedding ceremony recently. From the minute we had our first telephone conversation with her we knew we did not want anyone else to perform the ceremony - she was so interested in how we met and how our love story developed. All our friends and family were astounded to learn that she was not a friend who knew us for years - but we can honestly say we can call her a friend now.

It could not have been more special
Rosemary is a brilliant celebrant and we could not recommend her more highly. We felt she really took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted on our wedding day. She was very accommodating in creating a unique and personal ceremony for us that reflected our personalities and tastes. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. It could not have been more special and we will appreciate the memories we’ll have from this for many years to come.

Always ready with a box of tissues!
Rosemary was recommended to us by another celebrant and we could not have been more lucky.
Rosemary had a beautiful spirit and a genuine love for what she did and for what she could do for us. From the initial meeting we knew we were in safe hands as she guided us through her role offering great advice and incorporating our idea.
On our wedding day, Rosemary was simply amazing and had every one of our guests commenting on how unique and personal she made the ceremony. We laughed and we cried happy tears but Rosemary was always ready with a box of tissues!
We could not thank Rosemary enough for making our day a truly magical experience. We would without hesitation recommend that you contact Rosemary to see how your day could be made more special than you could ever imagine.

Our favourite part of the day
After having our initial zoom call with Rosemary we knew that we wanted her to be the celebrant for our wedding. She had an ease and a warmth that was exactly what we were looking for, and she brought that to the ceremony on the day too.
Rosemary was very thorough and quick to reply on any queries we had, and gave great advice as we planned out the ceremony, suggesting some readings that we included on the day.

We both agreed that the ceremony was our favourite part of the day, in no small part due to Rosemary’s contribution to it, and we wholeheartedly recommend her if you are looking for a celebrant for your wedding ceremony.

Over the moon
We were over the moon when Rosemary told us she was available for our wedding. From discovering Rosemary through Instagram we knew straight away that she would be the perfect celebrant for us. Rosemary was amazing from first contact to the wedding day. She was with us through every step and answered any questions we had. She went into great detail with our first zoom call and we were really happy with the way she worked. The order of the ceremony was perfect and she made it so personal to us and our families. Her friendly and relaxed nature shines through and we felt so comfortable being in her presence. She put in so much work and prep to make our day so perfect. We can’t thank you enough Rosemary, we will forever be grateful to you for making our wedding day so special. We wish you every success for the future. x
