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!

Your Wedding, Your Way!

Your ceremony is the heart of your day! The moment where everything slows down, the noise fades, and it’s just the two of you, surrounded by the people who matter most to you. It shouldn’t be a part you go through to get to the reception. It should be the part your sorry to have to leave!

I work closely with you to create a ceremony that feels natural, personal, and completely true to who you both are. Whether your style is relaxed and light-hearted, romantic and emotional, or somewhere in between, your ceremony will reflect your personalities, your story, and what has brought you to this moment. I will tell it with a light heart and a little humour thrown in. From our first chat to the final words on the day, I’ll guide you through the process with calm reassurance and plenty of support.

Together we’ll choose the elements that matter most to you, from personal readings and music, to meaningful symbolic gestures such as handfasting or family involvement, and weave them into a ceremony that feels effortless, genuine and memorable. That feels like YOU..

This isn’t about scripts or clichés. It’s about telling your story, in a way that feels honest, joyful, and uniquely yours. If this feels like what you are looking for, let’s chat!

Elopements

Elopements are wonderfully simple, deeply meaningful, and beautifully focused on what really matters, the commitment you’re making to each other. Whether it’s just the two of you, or a small gathering of close family and friends, an elopement ceremony allows space for quiet moments, heartfelt words, and a sense of ease that comes from doing things your own way.

I specialise in creating intimate ceremonies that feel just as considered and personal as a larger wedding. Your story, your promises to each other and your connection are at the centre of it all. And it all comes without the pressure or formality that sometimes comes with a bigger day. From beach or clifftops on the Wild Atlantic Way to hidden corners of Ireland that feel like they were made just for you, I’ll help you create a ceremony that feels grounded, intentional, and deeply personal! It will be a moment that’s truly about the two of you, your love for each other, the journey you’ve come on and the one you are about to commence! If this feels like what you are looking for, let’s chat!

Whether you’re planning a full celebration or an intimate elopement, my role is the same. To create a ceremony that feels meaningful, relaxed, and unmistakably you.


Ready to work together?

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.
