Antoinette Coleman-Kelly - Registered Solemniser

It is hard to put into words how incredibly special our wedding ceremony was.

Antoinette listened to our every wish, want and desire. She was sensitive to family dynamics, she included our children while ensuring the ceremony truly reflected my husband and I as individuals uniting together.
It was emotional, humorous, fun and above all without being traditionally religious- sacred.

I cannot recommend Antoinette enough. Even after all the dust has settled we have guests commenting that it was the most unique and personalised ceremony they had ever attended and have asked for Antoinette's details to pass on to newly engaged friends. It truly reflected us as a couple and our family.

We are a blended family with deceased parents, divorced parents, step parents.... you can't get more complicated and Antoinette considered every detail, including who sits where during the ceremony- specifically reserving front seats for certain guests and asking others to move back slightly as the seats are required for the ceremony.

She was tactful, sensitive and everyone loved her!

We included music, poetry, readings, there was laughter, tears of joy, tears of emotion and LOTS of symbolism we could take away with us and display at home to remind us of our vows, bond and ceremony.
It was a long time coming for us but Antoinette made it worth the wait.

When I renew my vows in 10 years time- I will be looking Antoinette up again!

From the bottom of our happily married hearts- Thank you Antoinette!

Antoinette didn’t just provide a legal ceremony, she provided a personal, magical, fun ceremony, including guests throughout. Antoinette put time in to us as a family in the lead up to our wedding day getting to know us in order to make our wedding day unique to us. She is a very special lady with a genuine desire to give you your dream ceremony. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding ceremony thanks to Antoinette.

Our ceremony with Antoinette exceeded our expectations, it was absolutely magical. Antoinette created a fun, vibrant atmosphere that perfectly reflected the spirit of the day. Everything felt so personal and full of joy. Antoinette brought so much fun, warmth and personality to the day and everyone was laughing, smiling and completely engaged. We couldn't of asked for a better Solemniser and highly recommend.

From the very first consultation Antoinettes enthusiasm never diminished. Through regular meetings she kept us excited and on track with everything we needed to think about for the ceremony, and so much more.
On the day she brought so much love and care to our ceremony. It was a truly beautiful and "amazing" ceremony. Thank you xx

We were absolutely thrilled with our decision to hire Antoinette as our wedding celebrant. It was a pleasure to work with her in the planning and leadup to the ceremony and she did an amazing job on the day! Our ceremony felt very intimate, personal and unique and Antoinette handled everything with absolute professionalism. Her energy and enthusiasm is second to none and she will bring a special magic to your big day. I highly recommend working with Antoinette if you want a fun and vibrant ceremony - you will be in very safe hands, especially if you're feeling anxious or nervous on the day, she will always have your back! I can't recommend her enough!

Antoinette brought such warmth, energy, and positivity that we immediately felt excited and confident about our ceremony. Her enthusiasm is infectious — she made every conversation feel like a celebration in itself, and we always came away feeling uplifted, inspired, and even more excited for the big day.

What truly sets Antoinette apart is how much she genuinely cares. She took the time to get to know us — our story, our personalities, our hopes for the day — and she used that to craft a ceremony that felt deeply personal and completely "us". Nothing felt generic. Every word and moment had meaning.

Her creativity and experience were such a gift. She came with thoughtful, original ideas — always open to collaboration, never pushing anything — but she had the insight and experience to gently recommend what would work best. The structure was clear and reassuring without ever feeling stiff or formal. It was full of heart, beautifully balanced, and — importantly — so much fun.

There was laughter, warmth, and joy woven through the whole ceremony. Antoinette made it feel like a true celebration — and everyone felt part of it. The way she involved others, and the care she took with each small detail, made a huge difference and left a lasting impression on everyone there.

So many of our guests commented afterwards on how special, emotional, and joyful the ceremony was — a perfect blend of meaning, love, and lightness. Antoinette helped us create a moment we will treasure forever, and we are so grateful for her presence, her care, and her magic.

We couldn't have asked for a better solemniser.

With love and thanks, Kieron and Ruth

Antoinette truly made our ceremony so special. She added lots of variety to the ceremony and inclusion of friends and family, which made the ceremony so magical, fun, and interesting.
Our guests thought Antoinette's delivery of the ceremony was fabulous. It was unique, emotional, and memorable.
Antoinette prepared us so well for the ceremony which I guarantee you appreciate on the day when you are all caught up in the whirlwind of the romance and bubble of the surreal day.
I would highly recommend Antoinette! She will give it her all throughout all the prep and the big day itself!

We were recommended Antoinette from a friend and we couldn’t be any more grateful. From initial conversations, Antoinette put us at ease - going through many different options for the ceremony and really tailoring it to suit us. On the day, all our guests complimented how emotional yet fun our ceremony was and this is exactly what we wanted and it was all down to Antoinette. She is so passionate, warm and brings amazing energy. She played such a massive part in our big day and we can’t thank her enough! Would 100% recommend!

We knew from the first few minutes of our call with her that Antoinette was the celebrant for us. She is so fun, bright and enthusiastic, while also being very organised and detail orientated.

She planned and amazing ceremony with us over 4 zoom calls. She gave us lot's of suggestions and got a sense for what we would/wouldn't like. She then used our preferences and created a fantastic ceremony that was a true reflection of us.

She made the ceremony interesting for the guests, both in her interactions with them and in the different elements she planned to keep guests engaged. Her experience was so valuable as she knew how to make the experience as enjoyable for the guests as it was for us. Our guests had so many lovely and positive comments about the ceremony and really enjoyed it.

She supported us and the bridal party through the full ceremony and this allowed us to relax and enjoy it!

We cannot recommend Antoinette enough!

If you want your dream wedding ceremony brought to life then Antoinette is the celebrant for you. From the moment that we first spoke, I knew we had hit the jackpot. Antoinette is just so passionate and energetic and her only aim is to give you the ceremony that you want. Antoinette has so much experience and she guides you gently through the process. She is always only a phone call away and nothing seems to be too much trouble. She captures all the important details about you as a couple and then creates this amazing love story. I could go on but I don’t need to, her reviews say it all. The best!!!

We wanted to say a massive thank you to Antoinette. Our ceremony was beyond what we ever imagined it to be. It was perfect and so personal.
We have had so many guests tell us how fabulous it was and how amazing she was A few tears were shed.

Antoinette was amazing to deal with from day one. She was so supportive and made the whole process so seamless. She made everything so personal to us and included our loved ones.
Antoinette has an amazing energy and so much positivity.

Thank you Antoinette creating our beautiful ceremony and being part of our day, we were so fortunate to find you.

Antoinette really made our ceremony so beautiful and magical! One we will never ever forget!

She has wonderful creative ideas, really friendly, she went above and beyond to make it fun and interesting and included our loved ones in the ceremony, Thank you so much for making our day so special.

Antoinette is absolutely amazing. She performed our wedding ceremony and went above and beyond what was expected. She made everyone at ease and she was perfect in every way. I couldn't recommend Antoinette enough. Thank you so much for an amazing ceremony. Everyone was in awe of it, the ceremony was described as 'a fairytale' by so many people, and they were right! Antoinette will sprinkle her magic when telling your love story. Get in touch with her today!!

We had the pleasure of Antoinette officiating our wedding on the 26/7/24,
What an incredible woman she is! Constantly in contact, was so responsive with any questions we had,made us both feel completely comfortable,she is a ray of sunshine 😀 catered our ceremony to interpret both our personalities! Genuinely couldn't ask for better!

Antoinette was a pleasure to deal with through our wedding planning to the big day and after. She is responsive, caring, kind, fun, quirky (in the best way), charismatic and celebrates love in a special way. Lots of people commented on how great she was and we were really happy with her, both on the day and in how she helped us to plan the ceremony leading up to it. She is conscientious, professional and you can trust her to add a spark and lovely atmosphere to your ceremony! Highly recommend :)

From the moment we met Antoinette we know she was the celebrant for us, Antoinette has a calming vibe about her (which my other half needed at times with the nerves leading up to the ceremony) he loved the zoom calls and the reassurance Antoinette provided. Our Ceremony was beyond beautiful and the effort Antoinette put into making it so special for us was amazing. We would highly recommend Antoinette 😊

Antionette officiated our wedding ceremony, creating and giving us the most magical experience that we could have wished for. From first meeting Antionette to the day of our wedding she has been a perfectionist with so much enthusiasm and passion toward our special day. We can both say that we have never experienced a wedding ceremony like it, it was full of joy, laughter and love. Antionette has a unique way of engaging with all of the guests and making them feel part of the ceremony. The little personal touches that she included throughout the ceremony gave us such a magical and memorable day, and not just for us, all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how fantastic Antionette herself was. We feel that we have been very fortunate in finding Antionette and thank her for making our special day even more special. We would highly recommend Antionette to anyone.

Antoinette really added to our day. We have been to ceremonies in the past that felt a little bit ridged but hers was completely different and very personal to us. We are so honoured that she was the person to marry us. She made the ceremony so light and fun and made it so unique by adding her own personal little touches.. ones we had never seen be done before.

The run up to the wedding is where she really shined. She kept us constantly informed with video calls and phone calls so we knew exactly what way the ceremony was going to plan out. If we had a question she was back to us straight away with an answer. The ceremony itself is the time where nerves come to the surface. She came out and spoke to me before I walked down the aisle just to tell me to take a deep breath and reassurance that she has our back. Which looking back I was so grateful for because it allowed me to be more present walking down the aisle and not let the nerves take over. She is an amazing woman with an infectious charm. You can't help but feel at ease in her presence.

Antoinette delivers a very professional, personal and uplifting service. I cannot recommend her enough. I wish we could relive the day again.
Thanks

Antoinette was absolutely pivotal to making or special day the best day we could of dreamed for , she worked with us for months leading up to our wedding to work out the perfect ceremony which was very personable and full of humour and love.

From our first meeting, Antoinette was beyond a dream to deal with. We met many times to discuss our needs. No ask was too big and Antoinette let us know what would work for our ceremony and what wouldn’t. She made our dreams come true on our wedding day and we could not have done it without her. We would class Antoinette as more than our celebrant or solemniser, we class her as our friend and could not recommend anybody more! Thank you for everything Antoinette!

Antoinette was the celebrant at our wedding this summer & we could not recommend her enough! We had several preparation calls led by Antoinette to ensure the ceremony was personal to us, she brought so many lovely ideas. The ceremony was super personal, our guests really enjoyed it & we all laughed throughout.

We could not have found a better celebrant for our wedding day than Antoinette. She helped us every step of the way through the planning process until we had our dream ceremony. The ceremony on the day was beautiful and could not have gone better with a magical quality that only Antoinette can provide. We can't thank her enough for making our big day so special!

Choosing Antoinette as our wedding celebrant was the first thing my husband and i agreed on when it came to planning our wedding. She is professional, punctual, reliable and has a fantastic energy and flair. Her attention to detail is just extraordinary and our ceremony was everything we wanted and more. Our day could not have gone any better. Thank you so much Antoinette for everything!

Antoinette, is absolutely amazing. She has guided us the many months, weeks and days until the wedding. And when we had our big day everything went as planned, we had the most beautiful ceremony ever, in our opinion there isn't a better Wedding Celebrant than Antoinette! Thank you for making our day even more amazing! ????

We could not recommend Antoinette enough, throughout our whole process. From inital introductions to the day itself, she guided us through everything we needed to know, as well as bringing lots of great suggestions for the ceremony itself, and these really made it a very special and unique ceremony. Our ceremony was nothing short of magical we were so happy that she was there alongside us on the day. We have received so many lovely comments from our guests on all the little touches that she brought to the day.

Antoinette was a great asset to our wedding. Amazing to deal with beforehand, very informative and helpful with planning our ceremony. Antoinette had lots of wonderful ideas and was very flexible around what we wanted on the day. Highly recommend.

Antoinette was our celebrant for our wedding and what a celebration she made it. Between the preparatory zoom calls, and the vivacious atmosphere she brought to the day - she performed the most beautiful ceremony we could have imagined. All our guests commented how fabulous she was. It was simply perfect and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her. ?ine and Senan

Antoinette was our wedding solemniser and we could not ask for more! She was very helpful throughout the journey, and she was listening and helping to all our needs. Would definitely recommend her to everyone!

One word - WOW!! We engaged Antoinette for our wedding on 9 September 2023, and she was absolutely incredible. From our first zoom call, we were enchanted by Antoinette - she was so enthusiastic and excited for our ceremony. She was well prepared and shared so many ideas (lots of them very unique) for our ceremony. We had two more zoom calls with Antoinette thereafter in order to finalise our ceremony. She was so informative, and really personalised the ceremony. Myself and my partner were so excited for the ceremony. It exceed all expectations. Antoinette put us at ease, included all our guests in the ceremony, was so reliable and a genuine pleasure to work with. All our guests were raving about the ceremony. We couldn't have wished for a better celebrant. I have been to a couple of wedding ceremonies myself and maybe I'm being biased? but this ceremony was the best I've ever been too! If you are thinking of booking Antoinette - don't hesitate - you won't be disappointed.
Thank you so much Antoinette for an incredible ceremony - you made such an impact on us!

Antoinette made our day! She ensured that our wedding ceremony was personal to us, which was something we were very keen on, in preparing for our wedding day. We received so many comments from friends and family following our day that the day and the ceremony was a telling of our story, and how personal it was. This was down to Antoinette. In preparing for our day, we had a number of Zoom Calls with Antoinette, where she ran-through the ceremony in great detail. Here, we were able to construct a ceremony that reflected us, and Antoinette was happy to oblige, bringing in her own special ideas, also. Lastly, Antoinette ensured that neither the groom or bride were nervous beforehand, and put us, and our guests, at ease from the get-go. A wonderful day!

We had the most amazing ceremony with Antoinette. From first contact right through to the wedding day Antoinette made our ceremony so special, memorable & personable to us and our family. She had lots of great ideas for the ceremony & it felt like a truly unique cermony. Would thoroughly recommend Antoinette for your special day and the most memorable experience. Thanks again for a wonderful memory, Jenny & Frankie x

Antoinette was amazing from start to finish. She guided us throughout the whole planning process and throughout the ceremony. No stone was left unturned. She answered any queries and questions we had at any time through the planning process, even up until the day before. Many guest commented on how perfect the ceremony is and that they've never been to a ceremony like it before; very intimate and personal. Each element of the ceremony was unique and special in its own way. We both highly recommend Antoinette to anyone who is planning a wedding or other ceremonies.

Antoinette was an absolute dream to work with, from our first interaction and all the prep, until the day of, she brought so much nice energy and charisma. Thank you so much!

Totally speechless - comments all day from our guests about how personal the ceremony was and they've never been to a wedding like it. Antoinette was helpful, friendly and reassuring throughout the lead up to the wedding. Antoinette got to know us as a couple before the wedding which made us feel more at ease on the day. Would highly recommend, amazing service.

Antoinette made our special day more special by making it so personalised. She met us in person and did zoom calls with her busy schedule to make sure we were happy with the ceremony. She made everything so easy and I wasn't worried about the ceremony because I knew she would be absolutely amazing. Thank you so much Antoinette for giving us the best ceremony we could have for.

Well We have to say that you won't get anyone just like Antoinette absolutely not and were we delighted to have had her. Amazing celebrant. From the beginning getting in touch to our day Antoinette made it all very special. Friendly, bubbly, compassionate, not what she said but how she said it, not what she did but the way she done it. The Ceremony was absolutely so beautiful, emotional but Antoinette made sure we were okay right threw the ceremony. The ribbons, to the poem, the sand, the first drink from cup, the rings and having everyone involved. When we even seem everything she had put so nice for us after the ceremony incredible. We could say and write a lot about Antoinette but look Your Simply The Best Antoinette, truly all our guest spoke highly of you and how much the enjoyed the ceremony. Bravo, Cheers we love you. Hey and whatever couple gets you will not regret it they will be so lucky. Thanks a mill.

She's the best to make your ceremony unforgettable. We loved every second of our wedding ceremony with her. It was absolutely amazing and magic.
So professional and down to earth.
She was our angel, she always will be in our hearts for being our Celebrant.
No words could describe how amazing she is and how much we love each second of our wedding ceremony.

Thank you so much for everything, for making our day completely unforgettable.

Love,
Mayara Ashe

Thank you to Antoinette who married my husband Declan and I in August 2022. Antoinette created the perfect wedding ceremony, filled with humour and love. She made all of our guests, family and wedding party feel some welcome and involved.

Antoinette married my husband and I on Thursday 4th August 2022. Being both French and with our family who do not speak English, we worked with Antoinette to have a bespoke ceremony celebrated in both languages, with my brother's participation. Antoinette met with my brother via zoom calls numerous times to produce the most beautiful and personalised ceremony we could hope for. I knew the ceremony would be special, but I did not expect I would enjoy it soooo much, feel so relaxed and emotional at the same time. I enjoyed every minute of it and was impressed with the quality and aptness of the texts chosen, the beautiful and elegant set up around the registry table, and obviously the friendly and joyful vibe Antoinette brought to this very special time.
Antoinette is truly an amazing celebrant, she does her job with love and passion and definitely goes above and beyond to deliver what will remain the perfect wedding ceremony we will cherish for a lifetime. Thanks Antoinette!

To Caroline McCarthy:
Thank you so much Caroline for the fantastic job you did leading our wedding ceremony. On the day you agreed to be our celebrant, you immediately put us at ease by guiding us through the different elements of the ceremony, and with your warmth, sense of humour and kindness you made the preparations enjoyable and hassle-free. We appreciate the time you spent coaching us via zoom, and your openness to all our ideas, such as allowing us to say the speeches and vows in our native language, or dancing our way to the exit! During the ceremony, everything was really professional yet light and fun - several guests told us it was the most personal ceremony they'd ever been to. We had the most amazing time getting married and you were a big part of that. So, thank you once again Caroline, we wish you all the best in the future!

Antoinette,
where do we start ???? from seeing you celebrate a ceremony 2 years ago, I knew there and then it was you to be our celebrant ???? well we are absolutely blown out of the water from everything you have done to help myself and my now Husband celebrate our day. ??
All of our guests have never came across anything like our ceremony last Friday, everyone has made a point to us both, to say this ???? from having our whole ceremony totally personalised for both of us and for all the extra MAGIC & SPARKLE ????? we included both the sand and hand fastening ceremony and these ceremonies certainly drew a few tears, not just for us but for our guests aswell ?? We are both so greatful for everything you have done for us both. we will certainly be recommending Antoinette to all of our family and friends who have big plans for a magical ceremony just like ours???? ????????????

Thank you ????

Love,

After meeting a few different celebrants over zoom we finally met the perfect one!

Caroline was in a league of her own in comparison to the other celebrants we spoke to. The moment I spoke to Caroline I felt completely at ease about our ceremony, all my worries and concerns flew out the window. Caroline talked us through the whole ceremony and covered every little detail (Caroline even taught us how to walk down the aisle!) She was so easy to talk to and approach and also always easy to contact which was incredibly important. Caroline is not only a lovely woman but a perfectionist at her job. She made sure we had everything we wanted included in our ceremony and helped us to really make it our own personal ceremony. I have been to weddings where the ceremony is obviously copied and pasted for one couple to the next. This is not the case with Caroline, she is just amazing . Everyone at our wedding absolutely adored the ceremony and thought Caroline was just so natural and perfect on the day with a bit of humour thrown in , which helped with the nerves !

Thank you so much Caroline. You are Amazing and we are so grateful that you were part of our special day.

We highly recommend Caroline! I wish I could give her 10 stars not 5!

Antoinette married myself and my husband in 2021with 6 guests it should have been 2020 with 120 guests but with Covid it was cancelled 3 times what a woman.
She was not only a wedding celebrant in these hard times she became a friend she has a very calming presence even on zoom calls which is all we could do...coming up to the wedding itself were very worried about the emptiness of the room with only 8 people but why did I worry we may have had 120 people in the room as she was brilliant from start to finish we cried we laughed everybody got a job to do and was very much involved....she made us feel like it should have been a celebration of love and why we were there in the first place and she pulled it off so very well we decided to do it all over again on May 15th 2022 with a renewal/wedding party and hopefully 120 guests and we wouldn't be able to do it without Antoinette Coleman-Kelly by our sides....she is truly an amazing celebrant as it is not a job to her its a passion.. Thank you Antoinette from the bottom of our hearts for showing us what love really is. Helen and Aidan xx
