Sarah was a fantastic celebrant. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to be part of our big day.
She is highly organised and supported us through the preparation and planning stages. She provided recommendations and options to help us incorporate elements to our wedding that truly mattered to us.
She brought a calm warmth to the ceremony which made it a very relaxed and enjoyable part of our day. Many guests commented on how personal and unique our ceremony was.
We couldn’t recommend Sarah more highly to other couples!

Sarah was the celebrant at my wedding in 2022. My wife and | were really happy with her service and would highly recommend her. Sarah has a good delivery and kept our guests engaged throughout the ceremony. She has a lot of good suggestions for romantic texts and traditional rituals that can be used throughout the proceedings which were really helpful. She was happy to allow us to fully customise the ceremony to what we wanted and we never felt any pressure to do this or that or keep it strictly traditional. We really appreciated her flexibility and her help in making the day just right for us. Thank you Sarah!

From our first meeting with Sarah we knew we had made the right choice of celebrant for our wedding. Sarah helped to demystify the whole process in a friendly and warm manner. Sarah guided us through some possible and common options for various parts of the ceremony and gave support and guidance throughout the planning phase, while leaving us entirely in control of designing the ceremony that we wanted. On the day, Sarah was extremely professional and helped to keep us and the guests relaxed and content throughout. Her ceremony was very tasteful, with a perfect balance of warmth, love, sentiment and humour. Many of our guests have and continue to comment on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and specifically describe how much they liked Sarah. We could not be happier, and Sarah will always represent a very special part of our lives.

We just wanted to thank you for Saturday. While we loved the whole day, the ceremony remains our favourite part, so thank you for that.
We lost count of the number of compliments you got throughout the day. People were so impressed with your style and delivery. If there are any weddings left to come from those that attended, they’ll be getting in touch!

Sarah married my husband and I on the 20th of August 2023 in a ceremony that was nothing short of perfect! From the get-go, Sarah made us both feel like we were in professional, capable and caring hands which put us instantly at ease which was invaluable when planning your wedding ceremony. She made the whole process from start to finish, easy and enjoyable. The ceremony Sarah put together for us was deeply personal and full of so much love. She managed to perfectly represent the two of us and our guests are still talking about how beautiful the ceremony was.
From the very start, we were both adamant that we wanted our ceremony to be fun and relaxed, anything but stuffy, and Sarah more than delivered! She was able to incorporate all our wishes seemingly on the day (including our outlandish request to use a ribbon from each guest for the actual tying of the knot part of our handfasting). The ceremony flowed so naturally and was full of smiles, laughs and tears of joy!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah to any couple planning their wedding. You couldn’t be in better hands. You will feel listened to and supported as you plan your wedding and then on the day itself you will have the most magical ceremony that you will cherish. My husband and I cannot thank Sarah enough for all her work and her role in making our day so wonderful.

We want to thank you so so much for Sunday. We couldn’t have asked for a better day!
So many people have been complimenting the entire ceremony, from start to finish. Thanks again for being available, and your work with us on the script.

Sarah is the guarantee you need to make sure your ceremony runs the way you need it to.
Sarah performed my ceremony and even without any rehearsal made it seem like me and my husband knew what we were doing (and we didn’t). More importantly Sarah made it so personal and prioritised making us feel so special on the day.
You can take my word for it … I’m expecting my first baby In December and will be getting Sarah for the name day.
Thank you for everything on my special day in April Sarah and see you next year!!

[We] are so happy. Several people mentioned how much they enjoyed you and your style during the ceremony. More than 1 person said it’s the best wedding they’ve attended. You have such a calming and relaxing vibe about you and it was perfect.
Thanks again for everything

We can’t thank you enough, Sarah. You were an absolute dream to work with and are a gem of a soul. Thank you for making our Katie and Rory ceremony so special.

Sarah, thank you for everything. It was everything we hoped for and more. Everything you did was wonderful, laid back and relaxed. Everyone loved it. People were saying it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. They loved the whole ethos. It really worked. Thank you very much. It was even more than we hoped for. Cheers!
Kevin and Cathal
Sarah guided us through every step of the ceremony process with encouragement and experience, and gave us all the information and inspiration we needed to make the ceremony our own.
On the day itself, she was a reassuring presence beforehand to make sure we knew everything was going to plan and we had nothing to worry about. She delivered our ceremony with a perfect combination of warmth, humour and love.
Every guest commented on how special she made our day. I have already recommended Sarah to many couples looking for a celebrant, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone else.
Kirsty & Jay
We are so happy that we chose Sarah as the celebrant for our wedding in West Cork. She is absolutely made for this role, she was such a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning. She made the whole experience so wonderful and fun. Our ceremony was so personal to us. She put so much effort into speaking with us in the build up to our wedding to get to know us as a couple and this really showed in our final ceremony draft. She was so helpful and great at sharing advice, having done weddings previously at our venue. | couldn’t recommend Sarah more to anyone looking for a wedding celebrant. Thank you so much again Sarah for being such a big part of our day x
Laura & Peter
Sarah was our celebrant for our humanist ceremony in August 2022. Sarah was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of preparing for the wedding day. Sarah gave us some great advice on creating a ceremony that was very personal to us and helped us select poems and songs that made our ceremony so special. | can’t recommend Sarah highly enough, she is a true professional and a wonderful celebrant!
Laura and Scott
We finally returned to Michigan… We can’t thank you enough for your guidance and words during our ceremony.
Our whole family was so happy with the day. Hopefully, we run into you in County Cork
sometime down the Road!
Lee & Niamh
We couldn’t have been happier to have Sarah as the celebrant at our wedding. Not only was she open to any ideas we had but she was also a fun, calming presence on the day itself.
Everyone commented how great the ceremony was! Especially, the hand fasting and cocktail ceremonies.
Liz and Nick
Sarah was amazing. Calm, thorough, warm, droll — we all clicked immediately on zoom, as we were organising our wedding from Australia.
The ceremony itself was fantastic. Sarah crafted it around us and our priorities and families.
All the feedback we got from family and friends too was about how great Sarah was.
Couldn’t recommend Sarah more!
Lyndsey & Jeff
Sarah was the celebrant at our wedding recently and | can’t praise her enough. The whole ceremony was so personal,so relaxed and our guests are still talking about it. Sarah made us feel completely at ease, and we
enjoyed every minute of our wedding. It was all about us, and we were able to include both our kids, both human and furry! We would 100% recommend Sarah.
Maggie & Michael
Sarah was our celebrant in August 2023 in 10 Bridge Street, a lovely intimate venue in Kilorglin, Co Kerry. From the moment we had our first contact with Sarah, | know she would give a beautiful ceremony, and she did! She pushed us out of our comfort zone by asking some lovely questions about each other which were included in the ceremony and made it very personal to us and all our family. She was there on the day to calm Michael down beforehand, chatted to everyone and made everyone very relaxed…which was the way I’d describe the whole ceremony. Sarah is warm, kind and very genuine person. She honesty made our day and we can’t thank her enough. If she’s not booked out you’d be lucky to include her in your big day. Thanks a mil, Sarah
Mary's Funeral
There are not enough words but | will try! Myself and our family were overwhelmed with the beautiful ceremony and celebration of Mary’s life that you created and delivered with such respect, dignity and poignancy to send Mary off on her final day with us.
At such a difficult time for all 8 of us, you listened to our stories of her life and summarised it perfectly. You accommodated the changes requested when emotions were high and seamlessly made it just happen.
When | first met you to discuss Mary’s service, | instinctively knew she had chosen the perfect person to carry this out and that everything would be OK..
Merissa and Mattis
You were absolutely brilliant with us, thank you. You have such a natural way about you and we’re so happy to have chosen you for our ceremony. Thank you for giving us the best day of our lives. You gave us a beautiful ceremony and we will never forget it. We would highly recommend you to everyone.

We would definitely recommend a Humanist ceremony and you Sarah as the celebrant to anyone that wishes to mark a special event in their lives; you are thoughtful, respectful and worked so hard to ensure that our ceremony was unique and inclusive to all that attended. We will definitely be passing your name onto all our friends who are looking for a celebrant to help them mark the occasions that life presents!
Nicole & Ken
Sarah is a truly unique and exceptional celebrant! Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine passion for creating personalized ceremonies made her a standout. From the moment we connected, Sarah, we knew she was the celebrant for us. She listened carefully to our story and crafted a ceremony that was uniquely ours—filled with heartfelt moments about our journey as a couple while also imbuing the ceremony with a deep sense of meaning. Her attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of our love was simply remarkable. Sarah approached our day with sensitivity and grace, taking time to recognise those who were no longer with us. Most importantly for us however, Sarah went out of her way to respect our values and wishes so that the whole occasion felt uniquely “us”. She was a large part of what made our day unforgettable and we received so many compliments afterwards about her work from our family and friends. We highly recommend her services and we will be using her again for future milestones!

Ruarc's Naming Ceremony
We chose Sarah for our daughter’s naming day ceremony after seeing the handwritten reviews on her website, no one else’s thank you notes came close. From the start she was a dream to deal with, so calm and confident that any concerns | had easily went. The whole process was easy and enjoyable and | loved her telling of our story. She was funny, and serious and invoked emotions in all the right places.
All of our family and friends agreed it was a beautiful ceremony, and raved about how lovely Sarah was and what a fabulous job she did. There were a good few tears suppressed too! | judged it off my partners mom who just couldn’t understand why we wouldn’t have a christening. | could see her body language soften as Sarah spoke, started smiling, laughed on cue and eventually she turned to watch her. She raved about it afterwards and we have only Sarah to thank for that. Sarah was so lovely to deal with, she made the whole experience so easy for us, guiding us and making suggestions. And she has such patience which | really appreciated! She’s an absolute star, a treasure, and I’ll definitely book her for any other ceremonies we’re blessed to have in the years to come.
Ruth & Shane
The best decision we made for our wedding day was booking Sarah to be our celebrant. From the moment we had our first call with Sarah we felt safe in her hands. Sarah is an absolute professional, who made the whole process up to the day as easy as possible for us. And on the day it couldn’t have gone better. Sarah crafted a ceremony that was full of joy and love and laughter. What originally seemed like the scariest part of our wedding, ended up being so fun and easy. Sarah made it easy for us. Our family and friends were blown away. | couldn’t recommend her more.
Thank you for the warmth and ‘brought to our day Sarah! Love Ruth & Shane’

Sarah was the celebrant for our wedding in May 2022. We would, without hesitation, highly recommend Sarah. From the get go she was easy to get along with, very helpful and professional, and patient. Communication was fast and easy. During the planning of the ceremony she had lots of great suggestions, and was very adaptable to ideas we had. During the ceremony, she had a wonderful way of talking that made everyone feel at ease and kept them engaged. Many of our guests commented on how great she was. We had a lovely day and are really happy that we chose Sarah as our celebrant.

Sarah made our day so special! She did a naming ceremony for our little boy and we couldn’t have asked for more. The ceremony was so personal, we laughed and cried! Sarah is such a warm person and all our guests loved her.

It was a pleasure to work with Sarah as our Humanist Celebrant for our wedding.
She was so helpful and made the planning of our ceremony so simple and so enjoyable.
So many of our guests complimented Sarah and said they had never experienced such a personal and moving yet such a fun ceremony.
Shane & Ruth
I wanted to thank you so much for doing our ceremony for us. We were blown away. It’s the part you dread standing up there in front of everyone and you made it easy and fun for us. We are laughing or crying in most of the photos!!
You are an absolute professional, everyone was raving about the whole ceremony and how good you were. Thank you again.
Sharon & Kieran
Where do we start about Sarah? She was absolutely amazing from the day we met her. Attention to detail, keen to get to know us, obliging, persistent in our laziness to respond, nothing was too much. Her kindness, words and her professional delivery was something you wouldn’t expect. We will forever be indebted to Sarah for making our day so special. The whole day followed on from the unbelievable ceremony. Everyone that attended spoke about how beautifully it was presented.
Thank you Sarah for making our day so special.

Our wedding vow renewal was always going to be emotional but Sarah made our day so very special. She conducted our ceremony with such warmth and professionalism. She made our guests really feel part of our family with good humour and well thought through commentary. Sarah reflected our humanist beliefs perfectly. We are forever grateful and feel truly blessed. Thank you, Sarah, thank you.

Sarah’s profile was the first I read when googling “celebrants cork” I read a few afterwards but I kept been drawn back to theirs and we were so incredibly fortune that they were free and agreed to officiant our small family wedding! We were very last minute with everything and probably at times lacked urgency but Sarah kept us on the path and moving through the checklist with ease, grace and patience. I can’t put into works the positive impact they had on our day. Sarah’s energy and approach was so wonderful and they provided a really detailed list of things we could include (do the knot tie, it’s amazing!) Brian and I are so grateful to Sarah for officiating our wedding and making everyone feel relaxed as well as helping capture what we wanted from the day! If you can get Sarah you won’t regret it!
