Honestly cannot thank you enough, you did the most beautiful ceremony we could’ve ever hoped for. Everyone said they were balling their eyes their eyes out. I don’t think either of us could possibly have been happier
Vaila and Ross – Nov 2019
We are so delighted that we decided to go with a humanist ceremony and with Jean as our celebrant. We wanted to really personalise the wedding around our modern family and our beliefs whilst still be respectful to family members, and it excelled all of our hopes. So many of my family, who are traditional and religious, came to tell me that it was their first Humanist wedding and how engaged they were during the ceremony and how charmingly it was done. From our meetings and emails Jean gave us great suggestions and ideas for readings and vows which suited us; which was a surprise as I wasn't initially planning to have any. Of course, I envisioned myself being a lot more composed when saying our vows but the fact that Ross picked them made them even more significant to us. I think the lasting memory for us was that Jack was so involved and even had his own 'I Do.' As some memories of the day become blurry that will be the lasting one for us. The complexity of writing a completely fresh ceremony which encapsulated all the elements of a couple coming together but also including a child whilst keeping focus on marriage, is an art. We wouldn't have trusted anyone else. We have and will continue to recommend Jean as the service was outstanding from the first meeting to the last "I do". Our wedding day was the best way to end the year and the perfect way to start a new one and I wouldn't change anything, even dropping lipstick down my dress moments before the ceremony.

Jean, thank you so much for the most beautiful wedding.
It was so beautiful thanks to you.
Emma and Adrian – Oct 2019
Everyone has been saying how incredible the ceremony was.
A few people said if they get married they will be getting in touch with you. We’ll remember our ceremony for the rest of our lives.

You absolutely nailed it! I honestly can’t tell you how many of our friends and family have said it’s the best wedding ceremony they’ve ever attended – which, I think, is the biggest compliment going. The incredibly personal and funny ceremony combined with the epic intimate setting was more perfect than I could have imagined. It felt like Alex and I had known you for years – we were so at ease
Colleen and Alex - Sept 2019
I can’t believe it’s been 4 weeks already. I enjoy meeting people that are in love with their purpose in life and your beaming smile shows it every time. We cannot thank you enough for all the time and effort you put into tailoring our special day. We really wanted our ceremony to be the most meaningful part of our wedding day and your caring nature, exquisite attention to detail and exceptional delivery made it all feel like a fairytale. You turned out little dream into reality
Emma and Daniel – August 2019
I don’t even know how to put into words what you have done for us. This has been such a hectic chapter of our lives. You made the wedding prep seem easy and we really enjoyed the whole process. The ceremony was better than we could ever have expected, I actually get tearful still thinking about it. I felt at ease the whole time (even with the uninvited wasp guests). It was so kind of you to come and see my before and from then on I felt calm. The compliments we have had about the ceremony have been incredible. So many people found it so moving and personal. So many people were also pleasantly surprised about the humanist ceremony it general. I honestly can’t come up with the words to thank you. We had the best day of our lives and the ceremony set the tone and was an amazing talking point the whole day. You looked beautiful and spoke beautifully. We love that you’re part of our love story now x
Mary and Sean – August 2019
Jean held our ceremony for us in Ballygally castle. I cannot express how brilliant and personal it was. Every step of the process Jean lead us through from the initial meeting until the day, with professionalism, timeliness and friendship. I couldn't recommend Jean highly enough if you are searching for a personal ceremony. Thanks again Jean.
Rachel and John – August 2019
Thank you for making our day so special. You made the service so relaxed and personal even when dealing with my tricky little lady. Xx
Laura and William – August 2019
Jean is really fantastic at what she does and you can tell the care and love that goes into everything she does. Thank you for being our celebrant and being part of our most special day. It really was the perfect ceremony and meant the world to us both.

Ryan and I both work and live in London so we first met Jean was via Skype. Jean was friendly and professional, all communications with her was excellent. The wedding ceremony were superb. Our guests loved it. Many of them commented positively on Jean afterwards. We somehow managed to lose the signed marriage scheduled even though Jean has expressed how important it is. She was very accommodating and drove over an hour round trip the next day to help us to sign a replacement copy. We couldn't have asked for more. I would emphatically recommend Jean for your humanist wedding.
Elaine and Ryan – August 2019
We would just like to say a big thanks! Everyone enjoyed the ceremony and just thought you were brilliant! Thanks for making our wedding so special xxx

Typically at weddings the ceremony part of the day has a stigma attached to it: it’s the boring part of the day that had to be conducted. But we wanted our ceremony to be so much more than this. This was it to be a highlight of our day - to be the part of the day that everyone would remember and that blended beautifully into the rest of the day. That is exactly what Jean delivered. She guided us through a day, that was already set to be an emotional rollercoaster for us both, with such clarity and she told our story in such a beautiful way, that touched everyone’s raw emotions. For anyone trying to decide if a humanist ceremony is for them, we couldn’t recommend a more special way to be introduced as ‘ the newly married couple’.

Thank you so much for performing Samir and Sophie's perfect wedding ceremony so beautifully. Many guests said to me how appropriate it was for them and loved it. We all had the best time and have wonderful memories to cherish. Many thanks for your participation and for the joy the ceremony gave us all.

Jean designed and delivered a beautiful ceremony that fitted in with our style perfectly. So many of our guests commented on what a unique and personal ceremony it was. Thank you so much Jean, for helping to create the most wonderful day for us!
Jenny and Matt April 2019
Wow!! what a week that has been, following our "Surprise Wedding" we will be forever grateful for Jean and her amazing work, as without her none of it would have been possible. Jean was in on all the planning from the word "go" and added more surprise ideas to our planning. We have received overwhelming complements regarding Jean & her delivery of the ceremony. Jean is one of those very unique people that starts of as an acquaintance but quickly becomes a friend, who goes above and beyond to help. Jean is extremely professional and certainly knows how to plan a ceremony with a personal & truly meaningful touch.
Thank you again for everything you have done for us love the new Mr & Mrs Cochrane
