Naming Ceremonies

Naming Ceremonies

The naming ceremony is all about introducing a new person to the world, honouring their existence, giving them their name, making wishes for their life, making promises to care for them and to help them to grow into their true selves, electing a sponsor or mentor to look out for their welfare and creating a happy memory involving the child for everyone to cherish.

Rose Petal Ceremony– This is where each person takes a petal, makes a wish or blessing or good intention for the baby and then places it in a water bowl. The water in this bowl now carries the essence of these rose petals and it is also imbibed with all the positive thoughts and heartfelt messages. The baby’s head and heart is now anointed with the Rose Petal water. In this act we are bestowing upon the baby symbolically all of the good will and tributes and we welcome the baby to the family and community.

Why choose Mary for your naming ceremony?

From Aoife Moloney : We are really and truly blown away by how special Mary made our son Oisín’s naming ceremony. Between making suggestions about poetry and ceremony enhancements to include, and listening to our every whimsical idea, Mary created a beautiful and truly personal ceremony that could not have been more perfect. Everyone who attended was blown away, with many people not really being sure what to expect from a naming ceremony. The whole day felt so natural and relaxed, and all of our guests felt included by the flower petal ceremony suggested by Mary.

Renewal Of Vows

Renewal of Vows

Many people believe that entering into marriage is the final step in a romantic relationship. As they see it, a couple meets, gets to know each other, falls in love, decides they want to go through life together, and then take the final step – marriage.
But marriage is not meant to be the final step in couple’s relationship – it is really just the beginning of a grand adventure that hopefully, will be long and fruitful for each couple.

Simply put, a vow renewal is a way to celebrate your marriage. Perhaps you’ve made it to 2, 5, 10, 25 or 50 years together and you want the world to know you’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.You’ll exchange vows, recalling what you said when you were first married. You could also vary the wording and write original vows. This is an opportunity for both of you to really think about how you feel about your relationship, especially if the last time you exchanged vows was decades ago.

We are very grateful for your support and guidance throughout the whole process and our mothers were delighted with the ceremony. My gran-uncle has been singing your praises to all his friends too so don’t worry about the word of mouth. We drafted a review below, if there is anything that needs to change or want more details of, then please do let us know.

We couldn’t be happier with the experience Mary O’Donovan provided for our wedding ceremony! From the very beginning, Mary was warm, approachable, and professional. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, ensuring that every aspect of the ceremony reflected our style and needs perfectly.
Her attention to detail and ability to craft a meaningful and personalised ceremony made the day feel so special and unique to us. Beyond creating the perfect ceremony, Mary was a tremendous support throughout the entire process. She guided us with ease through the legal and administrative steps of getting married, making what could have been a daunting experience feel straightforward and stress-free.
Mary’s calm and reassuring presence was invaluable, especially as the big day approached. We felt truly cared for and supported, and our family commented on how beautifully she conducted the ceremony.
We wholeheartedly recommend Mary O’Donovan and Marry Me Weddings to any couple looking for a heartfelt, tailored, and memorable ceremony. Thank you, Mary, for making our day unforgettable!

Thank you so much again for all the support!

Kind regards,
Vivienne & David.

Wedding | 01/16/2025 | Radisson Blu Hotel, Ennis Road, Limerick

Donal and I had intended to get married at the registrar’s office, then have a small dinner/reception in a restaurant. We didn’t know Mary until we got to attend a wedding fair at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Limerick. This wedding fair opened our eyes, we obviously had to have Mary as our celebrant, however we were not sure if she could take us up because we had only 6 weeks left before the intended date of Marriage, luckily she said yes, this was the beginning of our lovely story with Mary.

Mary was so friendly and welcoming when we spoke, she gave us ideas and options on what we wished to include on our day, we never felt pressurised with her communication.

We had the most beautiful wedding, very simple, special and intimate. All our guests said it couldn’t have been better. Mary conducted our ceremony with professionalism and love I guess because her husband, Rory, was also the videographer of the day

Mary I want to thank you for making our day very special starting with the preparations until the end. You made our day memorably beautiful. Thanks a million, Christine & Donal

Wedding | 09/17/2024 | Radisson Blu Hotel, Ennis Road, Limerick

What can I say, we had the most magical day with Mary and all thanks to Mary. As our celebrant, she had kept in contact with us right up to the day, walked us through the ceremony months in advanced and had made a wonderful reccomdation of having a “sand ceremony” which really brought a magical spark to the day for us. Mary had helped us tailor our ceremony just the way we had always dreamed and had even included our two children into the occasion without any issue. She had been cheerful, joyus and just wonderful to both myself and my husband and so supportive the whole time coming up to the special day.
Derek and I couldn’t recommend someone so highly to choose for your special day and I believe all of our guests would also agree that Mary knows how to make your special day, truly, one of a kind.
We loved Mary from the start and she had come recommended to us by one of my close friends, and we hit it off immediately. To lose out on Mary as a celebrant would be to lose out on a true professional who loves their job and the union between people it brings. Thank you so much Mary ❤️ Caroline and Derek Gardiner.
