Daragh Doyle Celebrant & Registered Solemniser

We had originally planned on a church wedding but no priest would do new years day for us. I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason and this was definitely one of those times! Daragh contacted us straight away and I knew he was the man for the job. Just before the wedding we thought we might have to drop to 6 from 25 and Daragh was on the phone to us straight and other suppliers to put us at ease (we luckily had the 25) He was a pleasure to deal with and made us feel so special from incorporating our love of liverpool to including our 2 boys who loved every minute of the ceremony. It was short and sweet, just what we wanted and everyone commented on what a good job Daragh did. I have already and would recommend him to a friend!

Well what can I say. A covid couple who had been challenged hard and decided to change from church to Cival with only 8 weeks to plan a new date. From the moment I mailed looking to see if Daragh was available to the day he graced us with his blessing he was amazing. So helpful so happy and so comforting in these strange times. Our day couldn’t of been any more amazing and we will be forever thankful.

We would highly recommend Daragh for your special day. We wanted a laid back ceremony that was about us and that is exactly what Daragh did. From the planning stages right through to the big day he was always ready to answer any questions and make changes to the ceremony to better suit us. He knew the whole ceremony off by heart and it made our ceremony feel so personal. Guests even thought that he was a family friend he knew so much about us. He made our day so special and so relaxed. We are so thankful to have found him and glad that he was a part of our amazing day. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant.

We had Daragh as our wedding planner for our wedding on the 15th December 2018. I can honestly say that Daragh was one of the nicest, professional, organised and understanding people we encountered during the process of organising our wedding. He was diligent from the beginning, realistic and ensured we stuck to our budget. He was always available for phone calls and meetings when needed, which was especially important for us as we were planning our big day from London. He ensured we negotiated the best deal possible with our hotel and even went to extra mile in helping me choose my dress! Daragh made every effort to ensure we were happy with the progress of events and particularly on the day of the wedding he made sure we did not have to stress about anything. He did a fantastic job making sure everything ran smoothly, including giving us a detailed schedule of the timing of the day itself. He helped us to make important decisions, deciding on things we needed to have and things we did not need to have on the day. He also did a fantastic job as MC at our reception. We honestly could not recommend him enough!

We organised our wedding in Meath from London and Daragh was a massive help to us. As we hadn't gone down the hotel route for our venue it was great to have him look after the subtleties like PA systems, transport and bar staffing as well as coordinating all our other vendors in the run up to the wedding and on the day. He had lots of helpful suggestions on how to get our ideas to work. We would have been lost without him, we would definitely recommend.

We had a surprise wedding last weekend. We invited our guests to our engagement party and with Daraghs help turned it into our dream wedding. It took huge amounts of flexibility and foresight for Daragh to make everything happen when we hoped and that he did in spades. Watch the video on "weddings by dd" to see professionalism meet humanism. Thank you so much from an extremely grateful and happy couple. Liz & Dougie

Our wedding ceremony took place at St. Oliver Plunkett's Church Ruins and the reception was at Loughcrew House Estate. We came from the USA, NYC specifically. Daragh was quick to respond, via email and setting up calls, which was important to us, especially being from NYC where we want things done yesterday. We already had a wedding vision in mind, but Daragh was extremely helpful and gave great advice when it came to the normal wedding details, of which we did not have much experience or knowledge. Our wedding was unconventional due to the time of the ceremony being later in the evening. Daragh really went out of his way for us- picking us up from Dublin and driving us to see the wedding venue. We also had buses transporting people from Dublin and different hotels to the wedding venue. Daragh stayed until 3:00 am to make sure people found the right buses when he was scheduled to leave at 10:00 pm! He's easy going, so he didn't stress us out at all, but at the same time, he's in control of all of the various parts he's orchestrating. We couldn't have done it without him!

On the 31st of Aug we got married at what was described by our guests as one of the best Weddings they have ever been to. This wouldn't have been possible without the help, guidance and management of Rainbow Weddings. To say Daragh went above and beyond is an understatement, every granular aspect of the plan for the day was scrutinised and planned, and of course he was there to ensure everything ran smoothly. We will never forget our Wedding day, and give our sincerest thanks to Daragh for making sure it was perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rainbow Weddings to anyone.

Daragh was very helpful in providing guidance in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding. He was always very prompt in responding to our queries and very supportive in terms of providing recommendations while at the same time respecting our choices.

Daragh helped to organise our wedding in July this year, and thanks to his skills and dedication the day went like a dream. He was helpful and obliging right from day one, a pleasure to deal with, and had some great tips and advice for us. On the day he worked tirelessly to make sure everyone was well looked after from start to finish. He's a true professional and we would highly recommend him to anyone planning a wedding.

We planned on having a relaxed outdoors wedding in Rosedale House. Daragh Doyle was superb. He took all the hassles of co-ordinating the day away. We found Daragh to be highly organised, professional, an excellent communicator and an absolute gent to deal with. In the run up to the wedding his professionalism, attention to detail and commitment to make our day really special took away any fears for how it was all going to run on the day. We could not have had such a fantastic day without Daragh. We would not hesitate to recommend Daragh. From start to finish and execution on the day he was absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much Daragh, you promised to leave no stone unturned and you certainly delivered on that promise. Barry & Niamh

Daragh Doyle from Rainbow weddings planned and conducted our wedding ceremony with exceptional professionalism and commitment, to the very final detail. No stone was left unturned to ensure our very special day went as smoothly as possible. From start to finish , he personally made us feel so relaxed knowing that everything was under control. We would never have managed the degree of detail that he undertook. He was like a family member , everyone loved him and felt his strength and energy throughout the whole time . We cannot thank Daragh and his team at Rainbow Weddings enough.

Daragh planned our wedding over Easter 2018 and I cannot recommend him highly enough! I found Daragh to be highly organised, professional, detail oriented, an excellent communicator but above all else an absolute pleasure to deal with. He worked tirelessly for months in the run up to our wedding and we will be forever grateful for all he did for us. Daragh said he would leave no stone unturned in planning our wedding and he was true to his word. All of our guests commented on how amazing they found him to be. Thank you so much Daragh!

Daragh took all the stresses away, he was organised and efficient. He managed every thing and saved us from all the difficulties ...and there were difficulties and he smoothed them over, and made every thing great. It was great to know that if any thing went wrong there was someone who was going to fix it. Once we had Daragh in place we didn't have to worry about any thing. He made our day wonderful.

We went to Daragh late in the game when preparing the wedding ourselves became too stressful with increasing difficulties. He came and removed the stress, he worked with all the suppliers we had worked with, had people he could work with if there was anything missing, smoothed any difficulties with suppliers, and was a pleasure to work with. He was able to manage the time pressures, family, venue and all other issues in a way that meant our day went entirely smoothly and is still (to be a cliché) one of the best days of our lives. He made what was becoming a stress into such a pleasure. He is worth every penny. We should have gone to him earlier. Highly recommended.

Rainbow Weddings and Daragh Doyle took all the worry and stress away from my son and his fiance's wedding. They were overseas and coming back to Ireland for their wedding. That is not easy, as someone experienced and calm really needs to be available to troubleshoot, link with the couple to make sure it all is as they want, and to make helpful suggestions to make the day (or weekend!) go as well as possible. Daragh dealt with the venue issues which inevitably arose with professionalism and good humor and I can only say that if you need a good wedding coordinator or planner Daragh should be first on the list.
