Have a wedding ceremony that is Memorable and Meaningful with YOU at the centre.
Saying "I do" are probably the most important words you will say in your life! Have your wedding ceremony a beautiful tapestry which will be the centre piece of your special day.
As a HSE Registered Solemniser, I can legally marry you, on the day and venue of your choice. As One Spirit Interfaith minister, my ceremonies are inclusive of all cultures, gender orientation, all faith paths and none.
Would you like a Celtic theme, rituals like Hand Fasting, Stone or Sand Ceremony, Remembrance of the Ancestors, Wine Box Ceremony, to include as many family and friends as you wish? With rich resources to choose from, I will create a bespoke, stress free, personal ceremony, unique to you. Your options are many. You will have the ceremony that best reflects you and your partner's wishes. I bring a richness of experience and empathy to my role as your Celebrant.
Take the stress out of the planning and know that you are "in a safe pair of hands." I will guide you through the process of creating a ceremony, written just for you, that expresses your love and commitment in a unique, personalised and meaningful way. Whether you want a less traditional, fun, spiritual ceremony it will be crafted for you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
I offer a free telephone consultation in the first instance and will be delighted to talk and guide you through the various options that best reflect you and your partner's values.

There are so many things we could say about Margaret. From day one she put our minds at ease. She took the time to not only get to know myself and my new husband but also our 2 children. She gave us suggestions on how to include our children in every part of our ceremony and even tips on how to include them throughout the day!! There was never one moment where she didn’t go above and beyond for us. There was a part of our ceremony where WE forgot our vows and we didn’t realise until it came to that part of the ceremony and Margaret handled it so well. Nobody even noticed that we skipped a part of the ceremony due to her quick thinking. An absolute pleasure to work with and always had all the solutions on how to include people in our ceremony when we had no clue where to put them and it all worked out so perfectly. Thank you so much for everything Margaret. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know you and have you there for one of the most amazing days of our lives. I’m devastated that the wedding is over as that means that our zoom calls and emails will come to an end. We appreciate you so much and will never ever forget how much of a special person you are to us 🩵

Margaret was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She took us through every step of the ceremony and really made it clear from the very beginning the importance of making it our own. So many of our friends, family and loved ones remarked how intimate and special our ceremony was, as well as how seamlessly it flowed. Thank you Margaret for making our ceremony so memorable and special, for all the right reasons.

We were very lucky that Margaret Roche was available to host our wedding ceremony in no.25 Fitzwilliam Place in September. Margaret made us feel comfortable from the moment we first spoke on zoom , to our coffee dates in Marley park to discuss our ceremony and right up to the big day! She provided plenty of suggestions and ideas to us and on the day did the most beautiful service. We would highly recommend Margaret she was so kind and always willing to help! A beautiful celebrant!
Response from Margaret Roche (Rev) - Registered Solemniser

From our first conversation Margaret put us both at ease. She has a really lovely, warm way about her. She emphasised the importance of how unique our ceremony was to us and although she guided us in the right direction She also encouraged us to add our own touches to the ceremony. A really lovely lady and I cannot recommend her enough.
Response from Margaret Roche (Rev) - Registered Solemniser
Dear Stephanie, Thank you so much for your lovely review. Meeting you, Hywel and your beautiful boys was a pleasure. I am so happy that your wedding ceremony was such a special occasion. There was a lot of love in the room. Your children brought their own wonderful spontaneous energy to your very special day. Thank you for having me as your Celebrant/Solemniser. It really was pleasure - it's why I love what I do.
Love and warmest wishes always. Margaret

From the very first zoom call Margaret was amazing at guiding us through the entire process & helped us co-create the most beautiful & meaningful ceremony. Margaret really took the time to understand who we were & what was important to us, offered her advice on how to include our family & friends in the ceremony and had amazing suggestions for readings & music to align with our vision. On the day itself she brought a calming presence and a joyful energy that really brought it all together. We would highly recommend Margaret for any couple looking for a personal ceremony.
Response from Margaret Roche (Rev) - Registered Solemniser
Dear Eimear and Niall. Heartfelt thanks. It was great getting to know you and so very thoughtful and kind of you to leave a card and gift with your groom. I treasure both. The happiness in the room was palpable (last minute rain change from garden mattered not at all!) Wishing you a many happy years together.

We had a small wedding in September in the Iveagh Gardens Hotel in Dublin. Margaret was absolutely brilliant in helping us work through how the Ceremony should be structured and had lovely ideas for the proceedings, potential readings, placement of music etc which really helped us as we had no idea where to start. We had a few calls with Margaret and then met in person to talk through how it would all work in practice. Margaret was so organised and reassuring as we were both quite nervous but we knew we were in safe hands. Our guests all commented that it was the nicest Ceremony they had ever attended and how lovely, kind, and calm Margaret was. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Margaret and I would highly recommend her to add that special touch to your special day

We were lucky enough to have Margaret marry us in September 2021, after a chaotic two years of postponements and rearrangements due to covid and family illness. Through every uncertainty, Margaret was a constant, steady source of reassurance, calmness and understanding, who went out of her way to accommodate us. It's hard to express just how grateful for that we are.
For the ceremony, we wanted something relaxed and comfortable, without any of the stiff formalities found in more traditional ceremonies. From the outset, Margaret helped us mold our ceremony into something that was personal, intimate and inclusive of our families and friends. She came up with perfect suggestions for our readings and provided lots of ideas and choice about what we could do throughout the ceremony to give it the feel we were looking for.
Most importantly to us, Margaret allowed our ceremony to have humor- we were able to laugh our way out of the nerves and enjoy ourselves completely. If you want someone who will always strive to give your wedding a personal touch, who is reliable, responsive and listens, you honestly can't go wrong with Margaret. We couldn't recommend her enough.

Planning a wedding during Covid-19 maybe wasn't the easiest time, but there was one constant in our planning that gave us both a great sense of calm and serenity, and that was Margaret. Thorough, Kind and Enchanting. From the offset, Margaret shown a deep understanding of planning and creating a unique and personal ceremony. Always available and prompt to reply I would not hesitate to recommend Margaret to anyone. We are incredibly grateful for all she has done for us and are delighted to have had her part of our special day as well.

In a very stressful turn of events my husband and I found ourselves in the position of needing a new registrar a few days before our wedding due to new Covid-19 restrictions. What could have been a very trying time was quickly turned around when Margaret came to our rescue and agreed to do our ceremony. From our first call with her she was very calming, kind and professional. She quickly made us feel reassured and was able to tell us everything we needed to know to help us organise all of the legal bits. On the day she delivered the ceremony beautifully, making it feel special for us while also keeping our guests engaged. I couldn't recommend Margaret more, and thank you very much for everything you did to help us in our time of need! Thanks again, Margaret

Margaret was the perfect celebrant for us. We cannot recommend her more highly. Even in the weeks and months before the big event, she was a calming and assured presence. Knowing that we were in a safe pair of hands actually took a huge amount of the stress out of the planning process. My partner and I wanted an alternative experience to the standard church wedding as we are not very religious. We wanted a warm, intimate ceremony devoid of stuffiness and biblical references. Margaret helped us craft our own personalised script. We found her templates gave us a good starting point and we added our own content under her guidance. This allowed us to involve family and friends in the day which made it so special. Throughout the ceremony itself, she spoke eloquently and had the right balance of solemnity and humour. While we wanted everyone present to have fun, we also didn't want it to turn into a party too soon. It's an important life event and Margaret marked the occasion really well. I actually expected to be more nervous on the day but knowing that we had a good plan in place allowed us both to relax and enjoy it. A couple of our guests actually booked her since our wedding.
