Where do we even start! We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than Orla for our wedding day. From the very beginning, she was so warm, kind and lovely to deal with, and she made the whole process feel so easy and stress-free. On the day itself, Orla was absolutely amazing. She made us both feel completely at ease and created such a beautiful, personal and meaningful ceremony. It felt like she really understood us as a couple, and everything was delivered with so much warmth and care. So many of our guests commented afterwards on how lovely the ceremony was, which really says it all. Having Orla there on such an important day meant so much to us. She wasn’t just our celebrant — she genuinely felt like such a special part of our wedding day. We’ll always be so grateful to Orla for helping make our day as perfect as it was. If you’re looking for a celebrant, we honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Orla ❤️

Orla was our celebrant for our wedding this August in Fernhill house and gardens. From start to finish Orla was excellent. She guided us throughout the whole process, it was very easy, and we personalized the whole ceremony which made it even better. We got some many compliments about the ceremony from our guests, and its a testament to all the work Orla did. We would highly recommend Orla! She was very easy to work with, so quick to get back to us with any questions and she made us feel at ease. Thank you Orla for everything!!

Orla was absolutely fantastic. From the start, she is extremely warm and genuine. Our ceremony was beautiful, planned so well and delivered to perfection. And orla even met us the night before to do a run through and make sure we were happy. Honestly everyone raved about how intimate and beautiful it was and also how fun and natural it was too. Thank you so much for everything orla.

We could not recommend Orla from Óra Ceremonies enough. She performed our ceremony in June and she was just incredible from the moment that we booked her last year. Orla really took the time to get to know us as a couple and we felt she really listened to everything we wanted. Throughout the planning ceremony, Orla was so helpful and always willing to listen to our ideas and helped us create a perfect wedding ceremony that reflected exactly what we both wanted for our special day. She is thorough, detail orientated and her knowledge helped to put us at ease during what could have been an overwhelming process. Any time we met Orla in person, it was like meeting up with a friend for a catch up. On the day, our ceremony was full of laughs and had such a deep and personal touch delivered by Orla in such a warm and personal way. Thank you so much Orla for everything!

Orla just married myself and my husband. From start to finish she has been outstanding. She hasn’t just been there for the wedding day but in fact the past year. She guided and advised us throughout the process and we can’t thank her enough 🩷

Orla performed our ceremony in June this year, and we genuinely couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. From the moment we booked her a year and a half before our wedding, she was incredible. Her advice, thoughtful suggestions, and the Google Sheet she provided made the entire planning process so seamless and stress-free. We spoke about the overall vibe and flow we wanted for our ceremony, and she exceeded every expectation. She created such a warm, calm, and joyful atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. Since the wedding, so many of our guests have commented on how sincere, personal, and meaningful the ceremony felt without ever being over the top. Orla read the room perfectly and struck exactly the right balance, keeping the tone and energy exactly as we'd hoped throughout. Thank you so much again, Orla. We were absolutely beyond thrilled, and we're so grateful you were such a special part of our day. We couldn't recommend you more highly!

From our very first Zoom with Orla, we instantly knew she was the perfect celebrant for us. She immediately put us at ease, explaining every part of the process with clarity and warmth, and was always ready with helpful answers to our endless questions. In the lead-up to our ceremony, Orla’s guidance was second to none—she supported us with our vows, encouraged us to shape the ceremony in a way that reflected our personalities, and always listened carefully while offering thoughtful advice. She gave us the time and space to consider her suggestions, which meant our ceremony felt truly our own. On the day, seeing Orla welcoming us at the door was such a comfort—she truly had everything in hand. She coordinated beautifully with the venue manager and photographer, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Orla’s reassurance to the groom as guests arrived, her thoughtful oversight of the ceremony room, and her warm greetings to our friends and family made her feel like an extension of our own circle. Most importantly, her sincerity shone through in every aspect of the ceremony, especially when sharing our “love story” with care and patience, capturing our journey, happiness, and dreams for the future. So many guests remarked on how wonderful Orla was, saying it felt as though she was part of the family! We honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough—her professionalism, empathy, and genuine kindness made our day incredibly special. If you want a celebrant who will put you first and create a truly heartfelt ceremony, you couldn’t be in better hands. A resounding five stars from us!

Orla organized an amazing naming ceremony for our son. From the moment I made contact with her she was so helpful and professional! I didn't know what to expect from a naming ceremony, having never been to one before but Orla helped structure the perfect ceremony for our family. It was such a special and personal day for our baby and I am so grateful we found Orla.

Thank you Orla for curating the most beautiful service for our sister who passed suddenly. As our celebrant, you took care of everything during our grief and supported us through this process. It was a very special unique service that really celebrated Maggies life. Our family are so grateful 🙏
