Aoife Hurley is an Officiant of the Spiritualist Union of Ireland. She is registered as a solemniser with the General regiatrars Office in the Republic of Ireland.
Aoife was an amazing celebrant! She was a celebrant at our friends wedding and we knew we would be in safe hands with her. We really wanted our ceremony to be unique and special and Aoife guided us every step of the way. Aoife supported us to ensure we involved all our friends and family in ceremony pieces. Highly recommend Aoife , we had the best day :)
Our wedding day was on July 12th at the absolutely stunning Mountainview with Aoife Hurley as our celebrant. We had a great evening with Aoife a few months before the ceremony where she sat with us both to listen to our story! And wow did she capture it so well! From the very start of the ceremony when Aoife introduced us both and told our story there wasnt a dry eye in the house. Aoife gave us lots of very cool ideas to use in the ceremony that suited us so well as a couple and a family of 4 and showed how much she listened to what we wanted our day to be about. I couldn’t imagine the day without Aoife being a part of it. The ceremony she conducted was personal, beautiful, funny and emotional. All of our guests were blown away by just how lovely the whole ceremony was from start to finish and raved about the brilliant celebrant. She spent the time before the ceremony reassuring my anxious groom and keeping the vibe relaxed and happy. Before I walked down the aisle she came outside to hold my hand and make sure I was ready to start, which was such a lovely touch and nearly made me cry all over again! Aoife was just brilliant, no notes! Start to finish an amazing celebrant, who is would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you Aoife , TNT xx
Aoife was an absolute star – she really took the time to get to know us before the big day and was on hand to answer any questions we had. Aoife ensured our ceremony was perfectly tailored to us. She was also a steady source of calm and encouragement in the storm of getting ready on the morning of the wedding! I cannot recommend her enough, she is the celebrant you want for your wedding!! xx
Aoife did the most amazing job in helping us celebrate our wedding day. She made us both feel at ease and she just made the whole experience wonderful. It was just so chill out and perfect. Everyone commented on how amazing Aoife was.
Thank you for making our day so memorable. John & Olivia xx
We had Aoife from Spiritual Ceremonies officiate our wedding at Poulaphouca House, and it was truly the best day. From the very start, she completely understood the vibe and tone we wanted, making the ceremony so personal and special. We met with her beforehand and really enjoyed getting to know her. The ceremony she put together was perfect! Many of our guests commented afterwards on how beautifully she conducted it. It was exactly what we envisioned and such a perfect match for us. Thank you so much Aoife for making our day so special :) x
Aoife was an incredible celebrant and we feel so lucky to have had her officiate our wedding. From our very first meeting, she took the time to get to know us and really understood the vibe and tone we wanted for the day. She made everything feel so personal, warm, and relaxed. The ceremony she created was perfect and captured exactly what we envisioned. So many of our guests told us afterwards how much they loved her style and how beautifully she delivered everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant, it was all so special thanks to Aoife!
From the very first meeting with you, Aoife, we knew we had made the right choice. You instantly made us feel at ease, and that warmth carried through every step of the process. Our ceremony was more beautiful, heartfelt, and personal than we ever could have imagined. You captured us so perfectly.
So many of our guests told us it was the most emotional and moving ceremony they had ever attended, and we couldn’t agree more. You created a moment that we will cherish forever.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for giving us such an unforgettable experience.

We had a magical wedding and have to give so much praise to Aoife for being so professional and entertaining at the same time. Each and every one of our guests remarked how good the ceremony was and what a star Aoife was. Aoife is a true credit to this profession, and I would highly recommend anyone planning a wedding to secures Aoifes services. Thank you so much, but most of all, thank you Aoife..
There aren’t enough words to truly thank Aoife for the outstanding job she did for our 20 year vow renewal. She is just the most lovely person. She had such a genuine interest in getting to know us, our history as a couple, and telling our story beautifully. She went above and beyond to involve our three children in the ceremony, and made it feel like a true celebration of not only our marriage, but also our family. We couldn’t recommend Aoife enough, and truly thank her for making our day so special.
Aoife from Spiritual Ceremonies did our ceremony for us last month and we can’t speak highly enough of her. We met her in the lead up and she was so friendly, warm and helpful, it was like we’d known her for years. Her communication was excellent and she really listened to what we wanted our day to look like.
On the day of our wedding, Aoife made sure that our ceremony was personal and unique and really captured our relationship. Everyone really enjoyed the ceremony and all of our guests commented on the relaxed atmosphere that Aoife had created. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough!! Thank you so much!
The amazing Aoife was our celebrant on the 15th June. After the first video call with Aoife early on in the process we knew straight away she was the celebrant for us. Her attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm to get to know us and our story was apparent from the very beginning. Planning our very personal ceremony with Aoife was an absolute pleasure. Aoife was always available to answer any questions and had loads of ideas and information that was so helpful in picking the elements, readings etc. for the ceremony along with being totally open to some admittedly weird ideas we also had. After meeting Aoife in person to prepare the final ceremony we were both completely relaxed and confident in knowing Aoife had everything under control which was exactly how it was on the day. The perfect blend of warmth, humour and love which our friends and family are still talking about!!
We got married last month and had Aoife as our celebrant. She came highly recommended from a work colleague who’s sister had her also and honestly we were blown away by how amazing she was! From our first interaction Aoife made us feel relaxed about the ceremony. My husband was worried a humanist cermony would be very “off the wall” but thanks to Aoife we had a very personal, funny yet slightly traditional ceremony. Out guests are still talking about how personal and intimate it was vs traditional church wedding. Thank you Aoife xx
aoife you were amazing , we couldn’t have asked for a nicer celebrant, the laughing and making us both feel calm before and during the ceremony,
you truly are amazing at your job 🙌
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts 💕
Aoife Hurley from Spiritual Ceremonies conducted our wedding ceremony and it was absolutely perfect in every possible way, I recommend her unreservedly. She really got to know us, and our ceremony was incredibly personal. She was also fantastic on the day, putting our nerves to rest and having everything we needed ready to go. She was at our beck and call and we are so grateful. All of our guests are still talking about how personal and fun the ceremony was. The booking process was easy and efficient and I found Spiritual Ceremonies very responsive to all correspondence. Thanks so much. Love, The McCulloughs!
We first came across the Spiritual Ceremonies website in late 2021 when we were looking for a celebrant for our wedding. After reading all the lovely reviews that were written about her by other newlyweds, we wanted to meet with Aoife Hurley…and we were not disappointed! From the first time we met her over Zoom we knew she was the perfect person to officiate our wedding. Aoife was so warm and friendly…no question was too small or silly. We felt at ease immediately with all the arrangements for our big day.
We met closer to the day to go through the all the details for our ceremony, and spent a lovely evening with Aoife as she sought to hear all about ourselves and our story. As a result, Aoife put together a wonderful ceremony that captured us so perfectly. Aoife delivered the ceremony with such warmth, sincerity and sense of fun…it honestly felt like it was being officiated by one of our close friends. All of our guests commented on how fantastic Aoife was and how the ceremony was one of the nicest and most heartfelt they attended.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Spiritual Ceremonies, and in particular, Aoife Hurley to anyone who asks. Aoife was a huge part of making our day so special and memorable, we are so grateful to her.
Aoife was the very best person we could’ve asked for to perform our ceremony. Engaging, collaborative and open to our (slightly) less than traditional ideas for our ceremony, she helped us craft a day that was 100% us. Our guests commented how unique and personal our day was and that certainly wouldn’t have happened without Aoife’s input. We felt genuine care had been poured into our day. We laughed, we planned, we laughed some more and then we had the best day of our lives. Thank you Aoife!
Full five stars and more if we could. Absolutely loved that Aoife married us last Saturday, 22/10/22 in an outdoor ceremony in Station House Hotel, in Kilmessan. She is just so so friendly, professional, funny, easy going, we feel like we really clicked and connected with her. She really put us at ease, made our ceremony what it was, one that was heart felt and personable. We loved every minute of it, and all of our guests when they left the Turntable (where the ceremony was held) and we greeted them as they came out, were all simply raving about it and her, some even said it was the best ceremony they’d ever been at, which is unbelievably high praise indeed. For us, there’s nothing about it we would have changed, it was perfect, not least of which during the whole ceremony we also had a visit from two butterflies (in October!). With v close relatives that have passed on, it had extremely special meaning. We didn’t see them with our backs turned, but Aoife understood the significance and made sure to tell us about (as did so many others later on). It really meant something. Thank you Aoife!!

Aoife Hurley was the perfect celebrant for our wedding in August 2022. We initially met with Aoife last summer and instantly knew we wanted her to marry us. Over the past year, she kept in contact and made sure that together we created the perfect ceremony to celebrate our ideal wedding with our friends and family. Her warm persona, her attention to detail about our relationship, and her genuine care for the celebration of love, made it feel like we were being married by a friend. Since our wedding, many of our guests have commented on how beautifully Aoife performed the celebration, bringing in the right amount of romance, professionalism, and fun to the ceremony. We could not recommend her enough!

We recently had our big day and made the brilliant decision of having Aoife Hurley from Spiritual Ceremonies as our celebrant. The ceremony is obviously the most important part of the day and sets the tone for the rest of the wedding. Aoifes relaxed and confident manner made the ceremony a thoroughly enjoyable experience, not just for us but for everyone involved. She encouraged our children to be an intrical part of the proceedings and introduced brilliant ideas to make the ceremony extremely personalised. All of the guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was, and this was all down to Aoifes ideas and planning. From the moment we initially met, to the end of the ceremony, Aoife put us at ease and has provided us with memories that will last long after the day has now been and gone. If you are lucky enough to get Aoife as your celebrant then you’re assured of having an absolutely brilliant wedding day. I can not recommend Aoife highly enough and wanted to end by saying a massive Thank You Aoife for everything you have done for us.
We had Aoife Hurley for our ceremony and I can not recommend her enough. I wanted someone who could offer a personal, laid back ceremony with many moments of laughter and special memories! Aoife delivered all of this and more ! At the end of the ceremony Alot of our guests commented on how special and personal the ceremony was and asked was she a friend of ours as she seemed to know us so well !! Thanks so much Aoife for adding all this to our day . ❤
Myself and my wife Fiona had Aoife for our beautiful ceremony at Martinstown house on the 23rd of April 2022.
Aoife made our ceremony so special and she made sure to get every important detail from us to share our story to our guests.
We felt Aoife went above and beyond for us to make our special day the most magical.
We would always recommend Aoife for a ceremony because if it wasn’t for Aoife our day wouldn’t of been as special.
Thank you so much Aoife, it was a pleasure having you apart our day.

We had our wedding ceremony in April with Aoife Hurley. We really could not recommend this truly lovely celebrant highly enough. We first met Aoife when she was celebrant for my sisters ceremony in September 2020 and instantly knew we wanted her to be at ours. She was so easy to talk to and by the time we had our wedding Aoife was not a stranger to us but more of a friend. She kept us both calm on the day & made our day so personal, the amount of comments we received from friends and family about the ceremony blew us away! Thank you so much to Aoife & everyone at Spiritual Ceremonies for making our wedding day so special.
We had Aoife Hurley marry us in Feb 2022 in Kilcullen. It was over 2 years from the day we met Aoife to the day we got married because of the postponements due to covid. During that time Aoife was amazing and we feel very honoured to say that during those two years we not only met our celebrant but gained a great friend.
During the build up to the wedding, Aoife helped us to create the ceremony that was perfect for us. She met with us a few times to go through bits and pieces. Of all the questions and queries we had (of which there were many), Aoife was on hand to help out and nothing appeared to be too much trouble for her.
For the ceremony, Aoife was absolutely outstanding. It was everything we wanted and more. Every one of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it, how special it felt and that Aoife created a ceremony that really “got us”. So much so that several people told us they were going to renew their vows and ask Aoife to perform the ceremony.
We really cannot speak highly enough of Aoife 😊
Aoife officiated our wedding on the 12th November and couldn’t have been more amazing. From the very first video chat with Aoife when we first booked our wedding, we knew we had made the right choice. Aoife is great craic, friendly and approachable whilst always being her amazing professional self. Aoife was brilliant and sent us sample ceremony booklets, to give us some ideas on readings and what we wanted to include in our ceremony, this was so helpful. A couple of weeks before the big day, we met Aoife for a coffee and a chat so we could all get to know each other and this was so lovely and really helped with nerves on the day. Aoife was very kind to send us our ceremony draft in advance, so we could see what she was going to say about us (she did an amazing summary of how we met and our journey together so farm which was great and we enjoyed it so much), which I think was such a lovely touch. On the day itself, Aoife was calm and friendly and delivered the most personable and brilliant ceremony. We were both so at ease and Aoife’s great nature kept the nerves at bay and kept us smiling constantly throughout. Still have guests weeks after our wedding complementing how great the ceremony was. We are so glad we had Aoife marry us, as it made it the more memorable and amazing than we ever imagined. Thanks so much Aoife, hope to cross paths again with you some day.
We found it quite difficult to pick a celebrant but we had a video call with Aoife and within 5 minutes of chatting we knew Aoife was the perfect choice for us. Aoife was very easy going and when we met up for a chat it was like talking to a friend we had known years. She made the ceremony so personal and let us take the lead on what we wanted to include. One of our priorities was to include our twos boys and we did this through the sand ceremony. Everyone commented on the ceremony and how personal it was to us. Our guests even asked did we know Aoife on a personal level. We couldn’t recommend her enough.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Aoife Hurley who married us a few weeks ago. Aoife met us for dinner a few weeks before the ceremony and we had such a lovely evening telling her our story and to be honest she was one of the reasons we decided to keep going no matter what and get married in a Pandemic. Through telling her our story she confirmed the whole reason we wanted to be married and we held on to this when our hotel was on lockdown only the week before our wedding date!!!! The service was wonderful and she really understood us as a couple. We could not have wished for more.
We were so lucky to have Aoife Hurley as our celebrant for our Covid wedding on Thursday.
Aoife was excellent throughout the whole process. From changing dates due to Covid to organising a beautiful, intimate and personal ceremony for us.
Everybody commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. Aoife has such a lovely way with words and a personal touch that it made our day feel all the more special. We could not recommend her enough.
We have already booked her for our vow renewal next year! Thanks so much Aoife. Love, Lena & Trev xxx
We were married at the weekend by the amazing Aoife Hurley. I can not recommend Aoife enough. From the beginning Aoife put us at ease and was always at the end of the phone. Due to Covid our wedding plans changed weekly (and in some cases daily). Aoife was always accommodating despite loads of changes to the planned ceremony start time. Our original ceremony venue did not work out but Aoife came to our rescue and organised for our ceremony to take place in the Spiritual Union of Ireland Sanctuary. Aoife got to know us as a couple and made our ceremony very personal and unforgettable. We will never forget the kindness and compassion shown to us throughout the last couple of months and will be forever grateful to her for being a part of the best day of our lives.
From the moment we met Aoife, I knew she was the right person to marry us. Her relaxed and easy going manner put us both at ease and we had a lovely chilled out chat while she got to know us over a cuppa in a local hotel for our first meet & greet. We wanted to keep things simple with as little stress as possible and she was the lady to keep us that way. Even on the day of the wedding when I forgot to leave the ribbons and readings at the ceremony venue she stayed so calm as she accompanied Billy to get them, I was on the verge of a flap but she kept us calm. All our guests loved how she led the mood of the room with her quick wit and gentle tones knowing when to give me and Billy the eye to move or do something. It was exactly how we wanted our ceremony to be, relaxed,special ,fun and memorable for both us and our family and all our guests. Thank you Aoife for making our day so special. Love Billy & Sabrina.
Choosing Spiritual ceremonies, in particular Aoife Hurley was undeniably the best decision we made about our wedding. We knew we wanted something custom, personal and unique to us and Aoife completely delivered! It was the most magical ceremony, so sentimental, funny and loving! Everyone, old and young said that it was the best ceremony they had ever been a part of. Aoife gave us so many personal touches to choose from- we had our godmothers, parents and bridal party part of the ceremony and have our sand vase now proudly displayed in our home!
Aoife put us at such ease and spent such time getting to know us and our story. We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony and day and we are so grateful to Aoife for making it so memorable! It’s been 8 months since we married and I still love watching our video of the ceremony and feeling all the love that filled the room that day!❤️
Thanks Aoife and Spiritual Ceremonies!’
From the start to finish amazing. Aoife who married us on Saturday captured me and Ger so well the ceremony that Aoife worked so hard on was so special and beautiful we wish we could do it all again. All the guests were commenting on how unique the ceremony was and how much they enjoyed it. Hopefully we will see Aoife again when it comes to a naming ceremony ? from the bottom of our hearts thank you x
We were one of the luckier couples that got to have our big day on March 15th – although it was touch and go in the lead up – we are now husband and wife! :) We got married in our venue and looked to Spiritual Ceremonies for a celebrant – drum roll for the amazing Aoife Hurley Registered Solemniser. We had no idea what this involved but Aoife put us at ease straight away. After our meeting, we were so excited for our big day. Aoife made clear it was our day, and the ceremony would reflect that. She listened and produced something so personal and amazing, both us, nor our guests will ever forget it! Given the announcement that occurred three days before our wedding, Aoife was in touch giving us support, advice and letting us know that she is happy to go with whatever decision we make. True to her word, as we decided to go ahead with the wedding, there she was! Aoife really went above and beyond her call of duty. We have had so many great things said about Aoife and the ceremony – one comment being “Where did you find her?!” – well Spiritual Ceremonies is the place and I’d highly recommend them. Really hope we will get to have Aoife help us celebrate other milestones in the future! Thanks again Aoife, through this unprecedented storm, you got us through and helped us have the most memorable day while we officially became husband and wife! Mr & Mrs Dowling
Our celebrant was Aoife Hurley on Saturday the 8th of September. From the get go Aoife made us both feel at ease. Before our big day we met up Aoife and discussed the type of ceremony we wanted, the ceremony she wrote for us brought a tear to my eye when she drafted it to me, she captured us perfectly as a couple and a family. So we would just like to say thanks to Aoife for helping create a day we will always remember. Kind regards Claire and Shane Phelan
We had a naming ceremony for our little girl Sarah. Aoife Hurley was our solemniser. We didn’t really have any idea what to include or how it should all go but Aoife was just incredible. Funny and kind and so reassuring. She was full of ideas and encouragement. I can’t recommend her enough. She made a special day even more beautiful.
All our Love Anna, Wayne, Sarah , Clara & Evan x
Aoife Hurley from Spiritual Ceremonies married Jason and I. I’ve known Aoife since I was 5 and when I decided to ask Jason to marry me Aoife popped straight into my mind because she has known me for so long and her and Jason hit it of off like a fire work when they met for the first time. Aoife guided us through all the aspects of the ceremony and what Spiritual Ceremonies offered. She was so professional and personal. Everyone, especially Jason and I, loved how Aoife performed our ceremony. We all laughed and cried, but most importantly Aoife made everyone at our wedding feel like they were on our journey with us. Thank you so much for making one of the most important days of our lives so beautiful, love filled and full of laughter x x x anyone that chooses you is in for a very, very special and beautiful day. All our love S&J x x x
Aoife was a pleasure to work with from the start, during our first meeting she explained how it all worked and put us very much at ease, she was quick to offer advice and available if we had any queries in the lead up to the big day. She made our ceremony feel very relaxed and personal and also full of laughter, many of our friends came up to use afterwards saying how much they had enjoyed the ceremony.
Sarah & Kev
Hope your keeping well. Myself and Thomas just wanted to write to you to say thank you so much for performing our ceremony on the 16th Sept, in the Westgrove. We were delighted with it and loved how it was intimate and also quite fun with the laughter from the guests. It’s everything we wanted for our wedding. All of our guests were praising you and saying how much they enjoyed it and that was Down to you. So again thank you. I also have a few friends getting married and have passed your name on too them.
Kind regards
Katie & Thomas
We got married on New Years Eve 31/12/18 in Killashee NAAS, We decided to go with a spiritual ceremony and chose Spirtual ceremonies – this decision was one of the BEST decisions we ever made!!! Aoife Hurley was our celebrant and we absolutely lucked out in having Aoife to share our special day. From the 1st meeting we had with Aoife she immediately put us at ease, she explained everything and took everything we wanted on-board. Aoife sent over the ceremony well before the big day for us to read through and be comfortable with – we were so impressed with how she pieced everything together and told our story- This all made for an amazing ceremony on the day itself, a lot of love in the room, it was SO relaxed and SO personable – making our two little girls be part of the ceremony aswell which went down a treat, it honestly went absolutely perfect and we couldn’t recommend Aoife enough, wouldnt change a thing about it!! We had so many friends and family afterwards commenting on how brilliant the ceremony went and how fantastic Aoife was 5***** Thank you once again Aoife
Amanda & Darren Brennan
We couldn’t recommend Spiritual Ceremonies enough in particular Aoife Hurley. Aoife made the whole process simple and put together the most amazing ceremony. All our guests commented on how enjoyable the ceremony was. There were so many options to include friends and relatives in the ceremony. We included the sand ceremony with our kids and we will have a beautiful vase as reminder of our day. In all honesty we can’t thank Aoife enough for getting the day off to best possible start! Legend !
Paul & Lorraine
Jake and I wanted to say a massive thank you to Aoife Hurley for being the celebrant at our ceremony on Saturday. We have had so many compliments about the ceremony (especially from the regular church goers who were not used to/may never have been at a spiritual ceremony). We may have swayed them.
You delivered Jakes Limerick really well and your ceremony set the day off to a great start. You have such a warm, friendly and relaxed personality and you were just what we were looking for in a celebrant. We would definitely recommend you in the future. Thanks again, Darina and Jake xx
Hi Aoife
Thank you from Uwe and I for conducting our ceremony , you did a splendid job and we will be eternally grateful to you.
The fact that we could tailor elements of the ceremony and include Uwe’s brother and Fr. o Reilly in it meant so much to us and all our friends and family .Everyone spoke about the ceremony saying they had never seen such a lovely and such an unusual one and of course the music by Jenny and Jimbo added to it and created a magic around it.Despite the crazy disorganisation on my part we got there in the end .
you are such a calm and relaxed person and it really helped as we had both been under enormous stress before the wedding…..and it was not stress caused by the wedding !
so thank you Aoife and We wish you every happiness and good fortune into the future
MJ and Uwe
We worked with Aoife Hurley for our ceremony and we cannot sing her praises enough. From our very first meeting, we knew we had found the person to marry us. Aoife was amazing to work with and she crafted such a personal, moving and humorous ceremony that truly reflected us. We had so many guests who said that Aoife was just fantastic as well. Aoife was so helpful and patient as she guided us through the process. We would absolutely recommend Aoife to any couple getting married.
We mean every word of the review Aoife, you were amazing to work with and we will forever be grateful to you for helping to give us the perfect ceremony.
Love Suzie & Emma
Aoife Hurley from Spiritual Ceremonies performed our marriage ceremony. From the first moments we spoke with Aoife, she put us completely at ease with the process. Our aim was to create a personal and engaging event for our family and friends, with humour and music. Aoife was open to everything we suggested and drafted a fantastic presentation that captured everything we are about. All our guests were very moved by it and kept telling us how beautiful and personal it was. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to have it, and for a better person to perform it! Aoife made it light and funny and everyone in the room was very impressed. Many guests approached us and said that they would like the exact same ceremony when they’ll get married ! :)”
It was a real pleasure to have you officialise our big day and we are very thankful for everything. You gave us ceremony and a wedding day that we will remember and talk about for years to come !
THANK YOU ! :-)
Richard and William
Dear Aoife, We just wanted to send a note to say thank you. When deciding on the details for our wedding, we were immediately drawn to the Spiritualist Union of Ireland. As a same sex couple, we weren’t going to have a traditional church wedding but wanted a legally binding ceremony that could be personal and spiritual without being religious. We imagined a lovely ceremony but never dreamed it would be as unique and special as it was with your guidance. You listened carefully when we met to discuss what we wanted. You were able to address all of our concerns confidentially and thoughtfully. We wanted to be as involved as we could in the writing of our ceremony and you gracefully obliged. Once you put together the bones, we really loved getting to add our own touches. Thank you for being always available and quick to answer any questions we had in the lead up to our big day. On the day of the wedding, you were just the calming presence we needed. You kept our guests at ease as they waited for the (just a little late) brides. You reassured Elaine and I and banished our last minute jitters. Most importantly, you crafted an absolutely perfect experience for us and our guests. Our ceremony had laughter and tears, yes – but you also managed to make every single person in the room feel included and engaged in our love story. With your gentle direction, our guests all understood what was happening, even if they hadn’t experienced some of the Spiritualist rituals before. Everyone was at ease, even if they hadn’t been to a wedding outside of a church or to a same sex wedding before ours. All of this was down to your easy confidence, humor and thoughtfulness. We will never forget our day and the very special role that you and the SUI played in making it perfect. Thank you for being the best celebrant a couple of gals could ask for. Jenny & Elaine
Hi Aoife , Thank you so so much for our magical wedding ceremony last Saturday. We loved every minute and everyone remarked how nice it was and how great you were. We’ve created such special memories and just wanted to say a massive thank you and we wish you very well in your future. Rachel & Alastair xxxx
On the 17th of September 2016 I had the absolute pleasure of Marrying my Best Friend, I decided to choose Spiritual Ceremonies as they came highly recommended. I was very lucky to have been assigned Aoife Hurley to do our ceremony (at the time of booking Aoife hadn’t even finished her course) but something inside me said Aoife is the one for you. From the time I first made contact with Aoife I knew everything would be perfect on the day, Aoife was punctual, polite very funny and so down to earth and easy going. Aoife made all my fears and nerves disappear. Our wedding was tailored to suit both myself and hubby and of course our 3 small children. Aoife did the sand ceremony too which was so beautiful and held a significant part in our marriage. Aoife was so professional and we were honoured to be her 1st ever wedding that she performed! Spiritual Ceremonies themselves were fantastic from the 1st phone call they assured me we would have someone to marry us as wenonly had 4 months to plan everything and u really need to book a yr or more in advance as these men and women are so good that they are in high demand, and sure doesn’t that say it all.
Kinda like walking into 2 cafés ……. One is empty the other is buzzing with ppl enjoying food and company, which cafe would YOU dine in????!!!!
Without Aoife doing our ceremony I don’t think my day would have been near as special as it was. It made things much easier in the fact that I instantly clicked with Aoife like I’d known her for yrs and yrs. I am pleased to call Aoife a friend now too.
If I could give more than a 5 star rating I would!!!!
Myself and my wife Emer would like to say a big thank you to Aoife Hurley who performed our wedding at the Springfield Hotel on 22/4/17. From the moment we met with her until our ceremony was finished she was fantastic. We will be recommending Spiritual Ceremonies in future.
Tammy and Emer
‘Aoife was our celebrant for our wedding in June this year. From the moment we met Aoife, we knew it was going to be plain sailing as Aoife is a warm wonderful person who put us both at ease from the moment we met her. Aoife put lots of time, effort, energy, and enthusiasm into writing our ceremony with us and we, our families, and friends absolutely loved it. Aoife was a very special part of our wedding, and went to lengths to make everyone feel comfortable – but it’s not an effort for her, she’s just a natural! Aoife is a fantastic celebrant and a fantastic person, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly to any bride & grooms, bride & brides, groom & grooms’
“Aoife was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. From getting to know us, in a very friendly, informal way, and through to adapting that into our service and making it very personal to us. She put us both at ease throughout the ceremony itself which was in every way beautiful”
from Darren & Niamh
