Cliff Top Ceremonies

Cliff Top Ceremonies

I have been involved with a number of weddings which have taken place on the stunning Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Ireland.

I can work with you and your partner to organise this very special and unique outdoor wedding ceremony that can be magical on the edge of the Atlantic sea.

Vow Renewal

Vow Renewal

Together, we can design a special ceremony to allow you to recommit to the one you love. We can work together in planning a beautiful unique event that will celebrate your ongoing mutual love.

Again we can locate the perfect venue from the comfort of your own home to any outdoor setting.

love sweet love

I can provide you with a ceremony which you design to your own desires. The day is yours. It is special so let’s get it spot on. I can visit you before your day as often as you wish to prepare and plan. Every detail will be perfect. I will look after all the readings and the ceremony. We can choose a venue which is special for you.

We can put your own vows together. On the day I will officiate and provide you with a most beautiful experience. I can sign your marriage registration form on same day and during your ceremony.

I can be booked to do any type of weddings, welcoming all couples be they straight, same sex or transgender.  We all deserve love and for that to be recognised and celebrated.  Labels don’t really apply to two people in love.

You made us laugh

John, we absolutely loved how you handled the ceremony & you made us feel a lot of love. Having you for a ceremony made it magical. My mother called and she mentioned she loved you so much during the ceremony. You made us laugh & made us realize how deep our love is for each other.

John is kind, generous, caring and fun

John was an absolute joy to work with! From the first email we received from him we could tell he was the person we wanted to be our wedding officiant. We could tell he was not only going to be so nice to work with, but also fun to be around. This was all confirmed when we met him in person a few days before the wedding. We knew he wanted to get to know us so he could make the ceremony perfect for us. After meeting with us, he chose a reading that was absolutely beautiful and wrote us the perfect personalized wedding vows.

He made us feel so special on our wedding day! We had only our immediate family at the wedding and he found a way to incorporate them all into the ceremony which was so lovely! He also acted as a bit of a chauffeur and drove my dad and I to the location so we could arrive in style. John did so much to make the day go perfectly.

John is kind, generous, caring and fun. He was so wonderful to work with and we are so happy he was part of our special day!

the ceremony itself was perfect

John was honestly a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Our plans had to change over the course of our conversations due to Covid 19 and our wedding becoming a lot smaller, and he was so helpful during that process. As I had to cocoon during this time, he ensured that there was hand sanitiser and masks and social distancing on the day which was a massive relief as it meant I didn’t have to think about that myself and could focus solely on getting married!

The ceremony itself was perfect – we wanted no fuss, no long readings etc, and John just got it. The short readings and vows selected felt really personal, and it was lovely that he could bring in little things about us, especially seeing as our families couldn’t be there. I was incredibly touched by him including a piece about my grandmother who’s ring I was using, and the whole thing was just really beautiful.
He also braved the swell on the cliffs to do a handfasting ceremony for us, which was really special. The weather was awful that day, but he never flinched.”

we couldn’t have asked for a better day or ceremony

“We couldn’t have asked for a better day or ceremony. Thank you so much for keeping everything light-hearted. Kayla and I love to laugh together, and having a few chuckles on our wedding day was very refreshing. Thank you as well for taking the forms to the HSE office, it saves us valuable time on our trip and that is so very much appreciated.”

It is very important to note that if you wish to have your wedding registered in the State, you will need to give the HSE three month’s notice so that the paperwork will be ready for your special day.
