Hello There!

Hi, I'm Dave - and I’m really glad you’re here. Becoming a celebrant wasn’t about changing direction so much as leaning into something I’d always been drawn to: people, stories, moments that matter and, fun!

One of the greatest privileges of being a celebrant is the people I get to meet along the way. Every ceremony brings a new story, a new connection, and a reminder of just how meaningful these moments are in people’s lives. I feel incredibly lucky to be trusted with such important occasions, and deeply honoured by the kind words, thanks, and good wishes couples and families often share afterwards. A small selection of those messages are shared here, and I’m truly grateful to each and every person who took the time to pass them on.

“Nothing was an issue!”

From the moment we met Dave it felt like we knew him forever. He put us at ease straight away. In the lead up to our wedding he was on hand to answer any questions we had, big or small. Nothing was an issue! We are delighted we chose to have Dave as part of our wedding day! All of our guests commented how beautiful and personal he made our ceremony and many said it was the nicest ceremony they had been to. Thanks again for everything!

“Warmth and lots of humour ”

Dave married myself and Tim in Sheen Falls Lodge in september. He was fantastic to deal with and made the whole process so easy and relaxed. As we are based in Offaly, we initially had a zoom call, where Dave gave us lots of idea as we really didn't know what we wanted for our ceremony. The ceremony was so beautiful, with Dave telling the story of how we met with so much warmth and lots of humour and giggles:) He really made our day and we cannot recommend him enough. Thanks Dave !

“Beautifully delivered, personal & heartfelt”

Dave was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. From start to finish, he went above and beyond our expectations. The ceremony was beautifully delivered, personal, and heartfelt, and so many of our guests commented on how special it was. We felt completely supported throughout the entire process and are so grateful for the care, warmth, and professionalism he brought to our day.

“Very special and personalised”

We cannot speak highly enough of David. He made our ceremony very special and personalised. His story telling ability made our story flow and gave the guests an easy laugh and insight. From the first zoom calls to the big day, David made us feel at ease and like we were just having a craic with a friend!

“Above and beyond ”

Dave was the best celebrant we could’ve asked for! We really were hesitant on writing our own vows and Dave gently pushed us to and it made the difference we needed! He really is the best and would choose him every time! Dave went above and beyond even delivering our green folder!! We can’t wait to catch up with Dave when we are back in Ireland !!!!❤️

“A truly amazing experience with him”

We had a wonderful time with Dave as our wedding celebrant. He was truly a joy to work with and made our day incredibly special. Dave helped prepare us so we could feel as comfortable as possible, keeping everything smooth, relaxed, and fun. I appreciated his attention to detail, light heartedness, and professionalism. Our guests were very pleased with the ceremony and thought Dave did a terrific job. He helps you prepare for this moment in a way that takes the stress off your shoulders. For these reasons, I can’t recommend having Dave as your marriage celebrant enough. We had a truly amazing experience with him.

“Gain a friend in the process”

Just wonderful - I absolutely cannot recommend Dave enough! We had the most incredible experience during our elopement down in Kenmare. From the first Zoom meeting until the day of our wedding, he made it so special with his warmth, bubbly personality and great sense of humour! I am so glad we chose Dave to be our celebrant for our special day. He was very responsive in the lead up to the wedding to answer any questions, give advice and calm my nerves, and also provides lots of different ceremony options depending on what you are looking for which is fantastic - I would recommend him to anyone getting married. You will have an amazing experience but you will also gain a friend in the process.

My style is fun and light-hearted where it feels right, professional without being formal, warm without being over-sentimental. My ceremonies are deeply meaningful without being heavy, and joyful without feeling forced. They are this because they are about you and your story.
