John Dunne OSUI

John was amazing from the moment we met him! We are an indecisive pair and were not really sure what we wanted in our ceremony but John made the whole process so simple, enjoyable and made for a ceremony that was more than we could have ever imagined. His patience and guidance leading up to the ceremony and on the day was above and beyond! John’s genuine nature and care for our interests made him the perfect celebrant, he even presented my rugby playing new wife with a yellow card in case I ever need to send her for a time out! His kindness, humour and sincerity were noticed and commended by all our guests.
I can’t put into words how amazing John is and how he brought our day together with such ease! He truly is phenomenal and his involvement will be a guarantee of a perfect day!

John was the celebrant for our wedding on the 30th of December 2022 and we cannot speak highly enough of him. From the start he put us totally at ease with his relaxed but organised nature. He was very easy to converse with on our zoom calls and it was clear he knew what he was doing. He accommodated any of our requests with no fuss and gave us guidance on what he thought would best for us (and he was right).
On the day John was there in plenty of time, ran through the plan for the ceremony with us and eased any nerves we had. The ceremony had a lovely flow to it and John’s calm demeanour and melodic tone made it all the more beautiful. The highest praise we can give John is that many of our guests specifically singled out how great John was and so we would have no hesitation in recommending John as anyone’s wedding celebrant

We can’t thank John enough for the way he conducted our ceremony on our big day! From the initial zooms right through to the day John was an expert in giving us options, guiding us through how the ceremony would run, and making us feel heard in what we wanted from our Wedding. On the day he was brilliant with the guests, kept us both calm, and just made everything run exactly how we had imagined. We’d recommend to anyone!

From the initial meeting John was very nice to deal with. John made the whole process so easy and a great help with all the different aspects involved. On the big day, John made us feel at ease and was a pleasure to have him officiate our wedding. Some humour in the ceremony went down very well with all in attendance. Thanks John for a fantastic ceremony.

John was fantastic from start to finish. He really put us at ease and made sure that everything ran smoothly. The ceremony was so relaxed and seemed to just fly by. I can’t recommend John enough for his approach to our ceremony and many of the guests told us that they really enjoyed the ceremony and thought it was excellent. Thanks very much, John.

We couldn’t recommend John highly enough. His relaxed attitude put us at ease from the very start of the process. He made our ceremony feel very personal and did it with such ease, we didn’t have to worry about a thing, he had it all sorted. On the day he arrived early and his calm demeanour was infectious, which was very much appreciated. We had so many of our friends and family commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony, and looking back there isn’t a single thing we would have changed. He had a lovely flow to the ceremony with a great mix of joy and humour.

Would definitely recommend John to anyone looking for a celebrant to make their day that extra bit special.

We had the absolute pleasure of dealing with John for our spiritual wedding. Since the first call we had with him, he was able to deal with any query that we had. He was such a help with structuring the ceremony and always adequate himself available to us. On the day he was absolutely amazing, everyone commented that he was brilliant and even helped us make decisions that just made the day flow better. I would highly recommend John to any person that is considering going the spiritual route

John was our celebrant for our wedding on 31st July 2022. From the very 1st phone call he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our ceremony was beautiful with plenty of giggles throughout it, all of our guests commented on how enjoyable the ceremony was and how brilliant John was and what a fantastic job he done. We would highly recommend John.

John made us feel very relaxed and comfortable in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself. He has a perfect balance of lighthearted humour and professionalism. He gave us a lot of ideas for the readings, vows and other elements of the ceremony and so many guests commented to us in the days after that the ceremony was so personal and special. We would strongly recommend him.

John was excellent from start to finish. The way he guided us prior to the big day was great. On the day itself he controlled the room so well. He was really good at keeping me calm at the alter when it was needed. All round really nice guy. Thanks for a great ceremony John.

John was our celebrant for our wedding in Boyne Hill House. From the first call we had with him he understood perfectly that we wanted just a nice, simple ceremony. He provided us with some great suggestions and on the day he gave us a ceremony that was exactly what we had hoped for. Simple, intimate and beautiful. He put everyone at ease straight away and afterwards many of our guests were full of compliments about the ceremony and John himself. We would highly recommend having him as the celebrant for your ceremony. Thank you John!

John Dunne was our celebrant for our wedding on 23rd April 2022. He stepped in at the very last minute as our original celebrant got covid. We panicked at first as we had built a rapport with our original celebrant but honestly we need not have worried as John was FANTASTIC. A late night zoom call to go through the ceremony and he had it all in hand. On the day, he lead us through with ease and we had a wedding ceremony full of love. He included our two small children which was so important to us. Everyone commented on what a great ceremony it was, John was engaging and light hearted while explaining the elements of the ceremony with care. We cannot thank him enough for making it all so special. Hands down recommend him to any future couples.

John was the celebrant at our wedding and we couldn’t have made a better choice! He is very professional and calm, he made everyone feel at ease and relaxed. The service was beautiful, meaningful and intimate. John injected humour and a lightheaded approach. He made it feel like exactly what it was…a wonderful celebration with friends and family. We are 100% sure we made the right choice of celebrant. Thank you so much John!

John was the perfect celebrant for us. He uplifted our very stripped back ceremony and has such an endearing and charming charisma which captured us and our guests. Everyone was commenting on how lovely and intimate the ceremony was.
John was a delight to deal with from the very start. He guided us wonderfully and listened to what we wanted and incorporated all aspects with a great flow.
Could not have been any happier with the service John provided us. I would recommend him to anyone.

John was fantastic! John has a very casual approach which made both of us very relaxed. We had a lot of giggles throughout the ceremony which we both loved and all of our guests commented on how intimate it was. We loved that we could include our daughter in the ceremony which made it all the more special for us. We unfortunately had to postpone our day 3 times due to the pandemic and John was very accommodating each time, reassuring us it would be worth the wait and it certainly was! We would highly recommend John.

We cannot thank John enough for the most beautiful and personal ceremony! Many of our guests had never been to a secular wedding ceremony, and they were blown away by John, and how intimate and meaningful the ceremony was. It was so special! Any future couple will be in complete safe hands with John, and can be guaranteed for the most beautiful ceremony.

John was the perfect choice. His kindness and calmness is infectious. Every step of the planning was effortless as John is such a wonderful professional. Many of our guests commented on the great nature of our celebrant and how he did a fantastic job. I can’t imagine the ceremony being as enjoyable without John. Highly recommended to couples with children who want a chilled and relaxed ceremony with lots of flexibility!

Where do I even start. You made our ceremony so personal and fun and I loved how you went out of your way to include our son! We were blown away by the level of detail, you did a fantastic job. Your amazing at what you do and it’ll be a memory We’ll remember forever and I’ll be forever grateful to you for making it such a special moment for us all!

Thank you so much,

John we thank you for all your help in the run up to our wedding day. It was far from plain sailing with new guidelines being released at every stage. But we got there in the end and it was perfect!

We would highly recommend John Dunne as celebrant for your special occasion

We had John as our celebrant for our wedding earlier this year and I could not praise this gentleman enough. From our first meeting, to the lead up and then our wedding day, he made the process of creating the most intimate and personal ceremony really so easy and enjoyable. He was so patient and gave the best advice to make the day as truly amazing as it was. Our family and friends still talk about our ceremony and how beautiful it was. We couldn’t recommend John enough and are so thankful he was the celebrant chosen for us. Thank you John!

John was excellent from start to finish. He took onboard our preferences and was organised and thorough. Many people at our wedding commented that the ceremony was beauitful. We would freely recommend John to others.

John made both myself and Martin feel comfortable and relaxed and I would strongly recommend John.

Jérôme and I are slowly getting back to reality after a wonderful summer! We were so happy to have you officiate at our wedding ceremony. We were delighted with the ceremony and many of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was.
