Romy McAuley Registered Solemniser & Celebrant

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Romy and Beautiful Ceremonies for our amazing wedding ceremony in Waterford Castle. It was truly unique and personal, there was tears and laughter. Romy was most wonderful to work with, she made sure to meet both of us right before the ceremony which helped me to relax and feel reassured that she has the ceremony well arranged and everything will go smoothly. We would definitely recommend Romy to any couples looking for a personal bespoke wedding ceremony.

Romy, thank you so much our more than Beautiful Ceremony. You made us and our guests smile, laugh, cry and the memories will last forever. xxx

Thank you Romy for the fabulous ceremony at Ballymagarvey Village. All of our guest have commented on how they felt relaxed throughout the whole thing. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect beginning to our wedding day. Thank you once again. Stacey and Paul x

We chose Romy to be our celebrant after deciding we wanted a more intimate personal ceremony instead of a church wedding. From the minute we got in contact with Romy she was the nicest warmest person and she helped us with any questions we had from the beginning. Romy helped us to create the most magical wedding ceremony where everything was chosen by us and tailored to suit us as a couple. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was and many had never experienced a ceremony like it. We can’t thank you enough for giving us the most amazing wedding day that we will treasure in our memories forever.

Romy married us in May 2018, and she just did the most wonderful job. From the time I first met Romy, to the day itself, she was such a delight to work with. We chatted on the phone for about an hour one day as she gave advice on vows, ring giving words and generally what to think about to align our personalities with our ceremony. On the day itself Romy had such a calming presence and got lots of laughs from the crowd. One cousin (who is already married) asked so many questions about her, where we found her, and commented on how personable her service was. Another family friend said that if she was to get married again, that our ceremony was how she would do it. Romy was so conscious that myself and Paul have some photos at the top of the “alter” and stepped out of the way at the right time during all key moments so the photographers could capture the perfect shot. She was also so nice to hang around for photos after the ceremony, discretely leaving our ribbons and certificate in our room for us at the end. I can’t recommend Romy highly enough, she was the perfect choice for our wedding day. Thank you! Jen & Paul Xx

I couldn’t recommend Romy anymore! As an overseas bride with their partner for a decade I had some rather specific ideas in mind for our ceremony and Romy helped navigate the waters with her expertise and blew us away day of! She was both wonderful to work with and to be with on the day of the wedding. Our guests also agreed and thought she was just perfect, she made our day very special! Thank you again Romy!!

Romy, you are so fantastic to work with and we are so grateful for everything you did to help us. Having to change the wedding date 3 times, you were a massive support and nothing was a bother to you. You kept us right with all of the documents and the paperwork and made everything so clear. The ceremony was so personal, it was completely unique to us and that is a total reflection of the time and effort you put into the work that you do. You are so good at your job and you made our wedding ceremony so special. You strike the perfect balance of humour, sentimentality and love. I couldn’t recommend you enough and I know for certain that for any future weddings in our family, that we will be seeing you again. Thank you so much.

As soon as we met Romy we knew she was the perfect celebrant for us. What an absolute pleasure to deal with in every aspect, from zooms and emails to the actual ceremony itself. Her warmth and sincerity is evident from the very start. Romy has such an attention to detail and makes sure the ceremony runs so smoothly, which is such a relief on the day. So many of our guests complimented us on the ceremony and how amazing Romy was, she makes the day so intimate and personal. She made us feel so at ease and we couldn’t have wished for a better experience. We will be recommending Romy to everyone! Thank you so much Romy for helping to make our day as special as it was, Edel and Olivia xx

We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being our celebrant. The ceremony was everything we wanted it to be – a lovely balance of emotion, warmth and humour. Several guests commented that it was the most emotional ceremony they had ever witnessed while a number of others assumed we had flown you over from Australia – you were just that good! It was also the first (multi-faith) ceremony for a number of our guests and they all loved how personal and touching it was.

Your joy, warmth and enthusiasm shone through in spades. Keep doing what you’re doing! We haven’t got all our wedding photos yet but here are a couple from the ceremony so far…

Thank you also for your help and guidance both before and after the wedding. Jen & Ben

From the very beginning Romy was so much help. She was clear and concise when supporting with the legalities, but so much fun when prepping and planning the ceremony. The perfect balance some might say! Every single person who attended our wedding loved the personal nature of our ceremony and we couldn’t thank her enough for helping us plan our wonderful day. We couldn’t recommend Romy any higher!

We couldn’t have had a better person for the ceremony, Romy made it so relaxed and so easy to do everything we had to do. All of the guest said it to us also. How lovely Romy was and how relaxed they felt while in the ceremony.

Romy truly was a god send. Due to the pandemic it was our third attempt at a wedding and a change in the rules, caused us to have changes again before the big day. Romy helped us throughout the process and made sure that our day went off without a hitch. We ended having a very small ceremony. The service was warm and thoughtful and she really made the day special. I would recommend A Beautiful Ceremony and Romy to anybody planning a wedding. Michael and Katie

I couldn’t recommend Romy enough. Plenty of people told us it was the nicest ceremony they had ever been to – so warm, personal and fun! Behind the scenes Romy put in so much work, between meeting us twice, rescheduling, advice etc etc! Her online resources to help plan your ceremony are a godsend. If you are thinking of booking her, do it!

Romy from A Beautiful Ceremony provided the perfect ceremony that myself and my husband were looking for. We wanted a tailored, personal, and small ceremony to share with friends and family. From the moment we met Romy she was extremely helpful, supportive, kind and put our wedding nerves at ease with her wisdom. There was no question too big or too small to ask. Romy provided us with a range of ideas for the structure of the ceremony, readings and rituals. Both family and friends commented on how lovely and personal the ceremony was and how they felt Romy’s warm, humorous and professional presence brought it all together. I cannot recommend Romy and A Beautiful Ceremony enough to other couples, she really did put me (the bride) at ease on what turned out to be the best day of my life. Thank you Romy!

Romy is the best. We had the most perfect wedding ceremony we could have asked for. Everything was tailored to our own tastes and preferences which just made the day feel extra unique.
I’ll always be thankful to Romy for the pre-wedding chat we had, without it I might have just been a bag of nerves.
Romy is so professional, funny and genuinely wants you to have the best day. I can’t recommend her enough.

So glad we found Romy to help us on our big day and make things official! She was so lovely to work with before the wedding and always so comprehensive with her responses which made things very easy for us. On the day itself, Romy helped put us at ease and she helped with lots of “little” things we didn’t even expect – she really goes above and beyond! Our guests were all asking about the ceremony after and many of them thought we knew Romy before the wedding as she had created such a personal ceremony for us. I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend A Beautiful Ceremony to anyone looking for a solemniser for their wedding day 🙂

I can’t say enough good things about Romy. From the first day we contacted her, she has been great. Always there to answer questions and give advice.

Our ceremony was absolutely perfect. Better than we could have imagined. It was so personal, special and relaxed – everything we wanted. We laughed and cried a lot. Everyone came up to us afterwards to tell us how great and unique it was. It was just beautiful and it was all thanks to Romy.
