Where do I even start. Grace is absolutely amazing at what she does. From the beginning, the care and effort we received was out of this world. From phone calls to emails, nothing was a problem. Our ceremony was exactly how we wanted it and more. She thinks of everything so nothing is missed and takes all the imagined stress you think you may have away.
Book her, I promised you will not be disappointed..
Thank you From the bottom of our hearts Grace, keep doing what you are doing.
Lots of love xx

Grace was excellent from the start. She put us at ease in our pre wedding conversations, and was always light hearted and fun in our engagements with her. We had great craic, and it always felt she had time for us no matter the question. It wasn’t strict and minute by minute as with a lot of services these days, it was human. And that human touch is what Grace has most.
One of us.

The ceremony it self was amazing. It was about us and our family as we wanted, and Grace had the cut of us and spoke excellently too.

Look no further than Grace for your wedding.

Grace Batterberry was our celebrant for our wedding at Kinsale Hotel & Spa in October 2025. Grace was amazing from start to finish. From our initial contact, she was warm, bubbly and friendly. She put so much effort into preparing our ceremony and she took the time to understand us as a couple which really showed during our ceremony. We spoke regularly to run through everything and she really tailored everything to suit us. She always made time to speak to us, if it was a call or text, she was available. Her energy was infectious and she was just as excited as us on our wedding day. She made us feel so relaxed and at ease on our day. We honestly could not have been happier. We can’t thank you enough for making our day so special and we would highly recommend Grace for your wedding.

Grace has been absolutely incredible. We had booked everything sight unseen coming from America, and couldn’t have done it without her. Not only did Grace respond promptly but took time to call every chance she got to make sure everything was all set. Furthermore, she helped us with mailing decorations back and making sure we knew where to send and receive paperwork. We put full blind trust into her and are so grateful we did. Our family raved over how kind she is, definitely left a positive impression. Thank you Grace!

When we decided to do a eremony the only person we wanted was Grace, thankfully she was available on our date. When we had our first wedding meeting we were very emotional as to how beautiful the ceremony could be. We asked Grace could we put in extra bits that were special to us and she was only delighted to make it more personal to us. The feedback we have gotten from our guests about our ceremony is unbelievable, they all said that Grace made it so special and read our love story with so much heartfelt joy. Communication with Grace was so easy and she would put you in good spirits after every chat.

Grace was the absolute best choice for us! From our initial contact, she was warm, bubbly, and felt like she had been a friend for years. She cared just as much as we did about having the perfect celebration of us, and helped us to construct a ceremony that encompassed us as a couple and as individuals. She was just as determined as we were to capture the essence of us as a couple through every aspect of our ceremony. Grace also suggested adding a ring warming ceremony which meant that everyone at our wedding had a role. Grace conducted our ceremony with warmth, congeniality the most wonderful smile. Our guests loved the relaxed and personal format, and we both felt like the whole ceremony from start to finish was perfectly ‘us’. We’re so lucky we found Grace, and would recommend her to anyone looking for really fun, personal ceremony full of love and laughter. Thank you Grace x

Grace, words will never express how you touched our hearts in Ibiza on our wedding day. Your professionalism and fabulous calm smile all day didnt go unnoticed. It was such a tremendous feeling of support to have you stand at the top of the aisle, knowing no matter what you were there for us both, nothing was going to be a bother or issue, you just got us and had our back all day. You are just cooler than the other side of a pillow, and I loved every minute . We had such fun and everything was magical all thanks to you, your ceremony was so touching and the thought you put into our prayers was just a reflection of your unconditional love and support you give all your couples, espcially us, it was such an emotional ceremony and we wont forget it ever. Your kind spirit has truly touched us both thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Keep up the fantastic work as I would love other couples to experience what we did on their special day xoxo

I booked Grace after coming across her page on Instagram. I watched some of her recent weddings she had posted and immediately I knew I wanted to book her. Grace was so friendly and really cared about what we wanted as a couple! Grace made the whole process so easy and explained everything so well and gave me plenty of options. I think this was probably the easiest part of the whole wedding!
Grace was really calm and relaxed throughout the ceremony and all our guests complimented on how nice the ceremony was❤️
Best wishes for the future Grace x

We booked Grace 2 days before my beautiful aunts Celebration of Life ceremony. As you can imagine the turn around of a ceremony for a funeral is very fast and emotions are very hard but this did not phase Grace. Even though Grace did not meet my aunt, she took time to read all the condolences on Rip.ie and came to the house twice to meet us and learn all about the amazing person Marie was and the life she lived. She guided us but also let us give everything we wanted to contribute to the ceremony. Grace held that space for us that day to not only give Marie the ceremony we wanted but gave us the ability to make Marie proud. We can’t thank her enough and would recommend her for her calm guiding nature and allowing us to co-celebrate with her on the day. ♥️

Myself and Paul got in touch with grace about Marrying us. From the second we got in touch she made everything so easy, the phone calls, the chats over what’s app and in person. I couldn’t have picked a better wedding celebrant to marry us. On the day she made sure we were okay and calm. Everyone after the ceremony thought grace did a superb job. Grace will always remain a close friend to us. Anyone looking to get married and aren’t sure? I would highly recommend grace to be your wedding celebrant ❤️❤️.

Grace was amazing, from our very first phone conversation, she had me hooked, her energy, empathy, patience and her passion for her job is undeniable from your first meet.
She talked me through all the process, called me when I was nervous, laughed with me during the build up, and on the day she calmed me down before the ceremony, as soon as I met her I was totally relaxed.
Our guests are still raving about the brilliant ceremony, the relaxed atmosphere, and the fantastic Celebrant that made it the best ceremony they had ever been to, which started the most perfect day off on the best foot, she even brought the sunshine so we could have our ceremony outdoors, which was a dream come true.

Faithlegg House Hotel, Waterford

Our ceremony exceeded all our expectations.
Grace was truly an extension of family by the time our wedding ceremony came around. Grace took the time, with numerous evening chats getting to know us, understand us and therefore created the most relaxed , fun and authentic ceremony that represented us.
When wedding plans became a bit chaotic, it was always a chat with Grace that grounded us back to what we were actually doing and what was important. So much that although we entered the ceremony two very nervous people, after Graces welcome, easy going and engaging conversation with our friends and family, her continuous chat telling us what to do we HUGELY enjoyed our ceremony and the room was filled with lots of laughs, tears and warm hearts. Grace brought two families together with her beautiful energy and story telling ability that we only wish she could have been apart of the entire evening.

I genuinely don’t know how to put in to words how amazing Grace was as our celebrant.

From start to finish Grace was professional, passionate and so easy to deal with. The whole ceremony was planned down to the last detail with no stone unturned. Grace pays so much attention to all the little things that you don’t even think of and she takes the stress out of the whole day.

She honestly made us feel like we were the most important people in the room, we were so glad we choose her to celebrate our day with.

From our initial call I know Grace would be our celebrant she was amazing to deal with so helpful had loads of beautiful ideas & ways of involving our family & friends music readings & poems into our ceremony.
Grace captured our “love story” so beautifully which both us & our guests loved & enjoyed.
Our ceremony was about us if our guests weren’t laughing they were crying.
Having lost my dear mother Grace guided me on ways to have her close with me on the day & we lit a beautiful candle in her memory. She was so calming, I’m not suprised Grace is up for awards this year she was one of the best decisions we made on our wedding day.
Our guests said it was the highlight of our day.
Book her today xx

Our celebrant couldn’t make it on the day and Grace stood in last minute. Grace was absolutely fantastic. There was a bit of an oops on the day, they forgot the rings, so there was a very panicked groom!!! Grace immediately put us all at eas during the ceremony, had loads of laughs and was so interactive with myself and Kev. Our guests still say how relaxed and intimate our ceremony was. One point that I really loved was Grace came up to us when the ceremony was over for a big hug and wished us well for the future. Such a lovely touch. Such a lovely woman and delighted she married us ❤️
