As a professional, independent civil celebrant I work with couples to create and deliver beautifully bespoke ceremonies and wedding rituals. I will meet with my clients as many times as is required before the big day and my service includes as many drafts of the wedding script as is needed to ensure that it is perfect and meets the couples wishes and desires for their special day. My service also includes a rehearsal before the event if this is required, although I am also happy to perform without the rehearsal if this is what the couples wish. Its YOUR day and it needs to be done YOUR way!

From the moment you decide to work with me, you have free access to me. I’m always happy to answer your questions or just chat about weddings in general!

Together, we’ll decide on the best way to communicate (I do love to meet my couples in person if possible!). We’ll then collaborate on the right ceremony style and structure for you. I’ll also spend time gathering stories, ideas, and even what might seem like totally random bits of information — it all helps with the process!

Then off I go to write! I’ll send the script to you for review and approval. Nothing will be set in stone, and we can tweak the ceremony as much as you like. I want you to be completely happy and comfortable with it.

On the day itself, I’ll arrive nice and early to chat with other suppliers, calm any nerves, and make sure the set-up is perfect. I always bring a big supply of tissues and I’m very skilled at buttonhole positioning!

I’ll then take charge of the main event — the ceremony! At the end of the ceremony, I offer couples the opportunity to sign a commemorative certificate before sending them out to a riot of cheers and applause.

I’m also happy to stay after the ceremony to help organise guests for photographs and confetti throwing. Then, when the time is right, I’ll quietly slip away, leaving behind a wealth of memories (and a little extra something on your gift table).

Hi, I’m Tríona.

Originally from Ireland (dia dhuit!), I am an Independent Celebrant based in Richmond upon Thames. I write, curate and officiate modern, bespoke ceremonies that are full of authenticity, heart and wrapped up in your personality entirely.

I love to work with couples and families who share a similar approach and style; modern, elegant, bespoke and of course fun! I pride myself in creating a warm, welcoming and relaxed ceremony sprinkled with the perfect balance of lighthearted humour and emotion.

A former chartered accountant, yoga teacher, celebrant and mother ( to William and Lily), I am professional yet empathetic, organised, well used to public speaking and on hand to keep you calm and relaxed with a touch of yoga should you wish!

When I work with couples and families, I love listening and taking the time to really get to know you and understand your personal story. By the time I deliver your ceremony, I would like to think that it feels like a best friend has married you.

So, if you are looking for a young (I would like to think so!) modern celebrant with an Irish sense of humour, you may have found your match.

I promise we will have fun and enjoy a glass (or two) of bubbly along the way!

Everyone loves wedding. Make the big day all the more special with a unique ceremony lovingly crafted and based solely around you and your story. Celebrant led ceremonies are 100% bespoke. We will have an initial meeting and then in the lead up to the wedding day itself, there will be periodic get togethers to ensure we are still all on the same page and nothing has been missed or left to chance.

Marriage is an institution steeped in history and tradition, but society is finally waking up to the fact that any couple is far more than just a sum of its parts. It is two unique people, becoming one, wonderfully unique couple. You are not an ‘off the peg’ couple, so why settle for an ‘off the peg’ wedding?

​Live musical tributes are very much optional but can add an extra dash of glitz to the day and of course, the choice of music is entirely up to you. Live instrumentalists can be booked in addition to live vocals, but additional charges will apply.

An elopement is an intimate, personal way to celebrate your love, usually just a couple and a few witnesses in a relaxed setting - whether it’s a scenic spot, a cozy city centre or your dream destination. It’s all about focusing on your commitment without the pressure of big guest lists or complicated planning.

I can help you make this special by getting to know you and creating a ceremony that’s uniquely yours, reflecting your love and the reasons you’ve chosen to elope.

We will talk together and discover what sort of wedding ceremony you are looking for. I then send to you some appropriate anonymised example script ideas if you wish to use them, together with a set of questions for you to talk through together - eg "What do you particularly love about the other person" - you can never say too many nice things about each other!
I then create a first draft script, and you come to me in West London (or on Googlemeet if that is not convenient) for us to talk it through and edit it together. We can email the script to each other until you are completely happy with it.
We then hold a rehearsal - in the venue if we can, or I come to your home, with everyone involved, so we know when everyone comes in, and practice saying the poems, vows if you would like to, etc.
On the day I am always there half an hour in advance to check everyone is ready, and stay to drink a toast with you all after the ceremony, to give you both my very best wishes for the future!
