When we lost our first celebrant with a short few weeks to the wedding, I began to despair. We knew what we wanted to the fine detail and we were worried that the person who would take on the job would have to be really on board with going with the flow. That’s when I remembered Ciara. I had seen her Instagram videos and was blown away by her. I had said to my now husband, it’s a shame we hadn’t seen her first on our searches for a celebrant. By chance and luck and I think a bit of magic, Ciara agreed to chat with us about our wedding and to restructure her schedule to fit us in mega last minute.

We knew from the off that she would be the person to marry us. She didn’t bat an eyelid at our micromanaging and mad ideas. She was a consummate professional, offering us support, advice and encouragement to go for our own take on the day. A few short meetings and google doc and we were all the way to our big day.

The wedding ceremony couldn’t have gone better and that was largely due to Ciara. We weren’t so much nervous as too very overwhelmed introverts who had finally opened their Love up for all to see. Whenever we got lost, which we often did in all the love, Ciara was like a beacon guiding us back to the moment and to the important job at hand. She made every single person there feel as though they were in the company of a great friend…. Many guests thought she had to be our friend because of her ease with us. She made us all feel held and seen in the way she weaved our ceremony together. She gave ample time for laughs and tears. Any couple would be lucky to have Ciara marry them. She is truly one in a million and what she did for us on our wedding day will last with us throughout the years.
