We booked Clare to decorate our curch for our wedding in November. It's a really small church and it was important to me the decoration wasn't overpowering, but I also wanted lots of candles! Clare was an absolute dream to work with, helpful, friendly and responsive ad on the day...WOW! So many people commented on how the church looked, it was so magical! I would, and already am, recommending Clare to everyone!
Response from I Do Candle Lighting
Thanks Donna. Glad I got the balance right. Cratloe is a small but very beautiful church and we can never have too many candles right ???? xx

Clare, thank you so much for doing such an amazing job decorating the Triskel for our wedding on 24th August 2018. The service you provide is second to none and the final look on the day totally exceeded our expectations. The venue looked truly magical. You have been so helpful in the run up to the big day and put us at ease. We highly recommend you to any future brides and grooms!
Response from I Do Candle Lighting

We asked Clare to decorate the Church for our wedding and she was absolutely fantastic. From the first communication to Clare she was always so lovely and helpful and listened to what we wanted. She travelled down to Kerry to cater for our wedding and we were so so happy with how beautifully she made it. She is absolutely fantastic and so lovely to deal with.

Thanks Shannen I enjoyed coming to beautiful Killarney to decorate your wedding. The Cathedral there is just spectacular. Have a lovely Christmas

Clare decorated our ceremony room for our Humanist ceremony. I was always worried about the room looking like a typical hotel meeting room. That was until we met Clare. She was great from start to finish and transformed the room into an amazing and beautiful setting for our special day. Everyone in the ceremony complimented the room and even the hotel agreed the room had never looked better. If you are looking for someone who can take your ideas and create the wedding you always dreamed of then Clare is the person for you :) I would highly recommend her for any future couples out there...
Response from I Do Candle Lighting
Thank you Gavin. I'm so glad I made the planning easier for you both. I really love my job and feedback like this is wonderful to receive.

We got married on the 14th July 2018 in the St Mary’s Church the Claddagh and the reception was held in the Galway Bay Hotel. Claire was phenomenal to deal with from the very beginning. Her expertise and eye for detail is outstanding. The church was decorated with elegance and beauty. Our guests are still talking about it six months later. She then transferred the decor from the church to the hotel. It added sparkle to our magical day. I can’t recommend Clare enough. She did an amazing job.
Response from I Do Candle Lighting
Thanks Jacqueline. As you know Claddagh is one of my favourite venues. It is just perfect for my candle and fairylight decorations. Have a wonderful Christmas
Review by
Claire was so friendly and so easy to work with, I gave her an idea of how I wanted it to look, knew she would know better than me in how to decorate it so left her the reigns and my god did she deliver. Fantastic service all the guests were in awe of the room as none of them had ever been to a civil ceremony before. Claire converted a few that's for sure it was so stunning.

Clare was fab to deal with from start to finish.. I really got the wow factor when I walked into the church to see it so beautiful..everyone was saying how good it looked..highly recommended
Response from I Do Candle Lighting
Thanks Sandra. Hope you all have a great Christmas
Review by
Clare did an amazing job decorating our church venue. The church interior colours are very strong and not great for the background of photos. Clare's decor meant that we didn't even see those colours on the day as the lanterns, draped veil at the entrance and very tasteful pew ends enhanced the church. An older family friend who attends the church every day even commented that the church had never looked so well! Clare was a dream to work with and I'd highly recommend her services to all couples!
Response from I Do Candle Lighting
Thanks Louise. I loved decorating for you especially as the church was my local parish growing up, I even made my confirmation there so it was a treat for me too. Wishing you a lovely first Christmas as a married couple xx

Working with Clare to make a couples Big Day wishes come true is just a dream! Clare brings beauty, elegance and the real 'WOW' factor when decorating a wedding room for you. We've worked with a lot of wedding suppliers over the years and I Do Candle Lighting stands out in their field for professionalism, standard of service and overall attention to detail. 100% a lady you need to talk to when planning your wedding day.
Response from I Do Candle Lighting

Of all the suppliers that we dealt with in the planning of our wedding, Claire/'I Do' Candle Lighting were top of the pile. The quality of the service that Claire offers is second to none. One of my favourite bits of the day was how the cathedral looked. She was a pleasure to deal with and I knew after a single meeting with Claire that the church decor was one thing off the list of things to worry about. It was in Claire's safe and competent hands. She's extremely good at what she does. She was recommended to me by a friend and I would have no hesitancy is recommending her to others in the future.
Response from I Do Candle Lighting
Thanks guys. Galway Cathedral is so magnificent itself, all it needs it my candlelight and fairylight. Hope you are both well and wish you a merry Christmas

Clare is one of the amazing person I have met. She knows how to transform a barren lace into a beautiful venue. I was fortunate to have found her and she did a brilliant jaw dropping job leaving all the guest baffled. She made the event so special. Im a perfectionist and prefer to concentrate on finer details and She is so approachable and has taken care of minor details, from organising material to decorating to the highest level of perfection. beyond my expectation... She was my saviour and my hero for the day.. thanks a million Clare for making the day s special and putting smiles on everyone's faces..keep up the good work..good luck .. ????
Response from I Do Candle Lighting

Over the moon I had Claire from I Do Candle Lighting decorate the church for our big day. It looked magical and nearly every guest commented on how well the church looked. The lanterns etc look wonderful in all the photos too. Would highly recommended her. She even sorted me out last minute with our wedding candles. Worth every cent!
Response from I Do Candle Lighting

I knew when I saw I Do Candle Lighting at a wedding fair that I wanted it at our wedding ceremony. Claire did not disappoint. I was blown away when I walked into the church. All our guests said the church looked amazing. Claire is so easy to deal with and will do anything that is asked of her.
Response from I Do Candle Lighting
Thank you Lisa. As always it is my pleasure and thank you for trusting me with such an important day in your lives. Best wishes to you both.

I didn't really get to talk to Clare at all on or after the day of my wedding. But I have to say she was spoken about. Young and old, men, women and children on the day of our wedding and people that have since seen our photographs have all commented (and still do) on how beautiful and stunning the church looked. I cannot thank Clare enough for all her hard work. She is an amazing lady. :)
Response from I Do Candle Lighting
Hi Jean & David, thank you for the lovely feedback. Also thank you for trusting me to decorate such an important event in your lives. You deserved it to be special. You have a lovely family and I loved being part of your day. Best wishes to you all.

Clare was an absolute doll to deal with from start to finish. She was a dream and not once did I worry about how my church would look. I was blown away walking up the aisle morning of my wedding. In fact I barely seen my groom I was so taken with the decor at first :-) I'm really not a "flower" person and explained this to Clare so she beautifully decorated with the candles and some flowers it was my DREAM church. Guests have been commenting since how the church decor was the nicest they've seen yet.
Response from I Do Candle Lighting
Thank you Máire. I'm blown away by all the lovely feedback I am receiving. So glad I helped make the day special for you. Best wishes to you all.

Claire was really nice to deal with & she did a brilliant job decorating the church for our wedding

I Do Candle Lighting were great to deal with. Claire met me at the church in advance of the wedding and gave excellent ideas and advice on what pieces would be suitable for a smaller church. Lots of my guests commented on how well the decor looked after the ceremony. I Do Candle Lighting were very professional and I would definitely recommend them.
Review by
I Do Candle Lighting is AMAZING & really sets the scene for the day. The only thing for the bride to remember is that Claire is a busy lady and might need access to the church a day or two before the wedding in order to set up. Make sure u know ur local priest or church caretaker so you can gain access if you need to do so.

We couldn't be happier with the service. Claire was amazing to deal with. Even though she has never decorated the church we got married in before, she did a fantastic job. Claire communicated everything so well and responded to all our queries prior to the wedding promptly and effectively. The church looked stunning and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Definitely would not hesitate to recommend this service to anybody. It has been the best choice we made for our wedding in terms of decorations.

We wanted to drop you an e-mail to express our sincere thanks to you on what a fantastic job you did on the day. From the first moment we met you were very professional and full of great ideas. On the day in question you showed up early and decorated the Church to an impeccable standard. So much so that it drew many compliments from the congregation. Your service was first class and very reasonably priced. For adding what you did to our wedding day we cannot thank you enough. Kind regards, Conor and Elaine Fleming
