A testimonial about Maeve O’Grady Williams

Mark and I married in Dunmore House Hotel on January 03 2025. When we first met the members of Dunmore House Hotel to discuss our wedding – Maeve’s name was mentioned as a celebrant who we should meet.
It was the first thing that I wanted to organise – as I felt the venue and celebrant were the two factors that would matter most to our wedding, so I made contact with Maeve and she immeditaely sent a lovely note – suggesting a meeting to see how we felt about each other.
Maeve was willing to meet us where ever suited – and from the first moment we met Meave – we knew immediately that she was the person we wanted to marry us.
Maeve is warm, kind and instantly put us at ease. She spoke about what we needed to do, and when we needed to do everything. She thought of things that we hadn’t even considered and helped us plan the aspects of the ceremony that suited both Mark and I..
Beyond the ceremony, on that first meeting Maeve was even willing to help me with bits and pieces outside the ceremony.
We met Maeve a number of times to discuss prayers, poems and the smaller details of the wedding day, and each meeting brought further clarity and reassurance.
On our wedding day – Maeve came to see me in my room – and her smile and kind words were all that I needed to know that everything was going to run smoothly. Maeve is a wonderful celebrant – she brought kindness, humour and a gentleness to our ceremony that I genuinely believe set the tone for our wedding day. Mark and I felt at ease in her presence – as did all our friends and family. Maeve’s ceremony was the perfect start to what turned out to be the most perfect day.
I could not recommend Maeve strongly enough. She was wonderful start to finish. I just wish now that we could so it all again.
Thank you Maeve .
Tracey & Mark.
