Pat Clarke-Browne Humanist Celebrant and Solemniser

Pat was a pleasure to deal with from first chatting on zoom and then in person. We picked our wedding songs and reflection readings. He made us and our guests feel at ease. Ceremony was both enjoyable, intimate and professional. We would highly recommend Pat to solemise your wedding.

For our wedding we had the joy of having Pat Clarke-Browne as our humanist celebrant. Rewind back to when we were trying to arrange everything & I felt a bit lost as it can be quite overwhelming when you start looking into booking everything that goes with a wedding. Pat from the 1st time we spoke was very down to earth, genuinely helpful, full of knowledge & just a nice person and was why we decided that he would be the perfect person for our wedding ceremony. Nothing was too much trouble. He was there in plenty of time & was set up before I even got there, He included all of our family in the ceremony which was so important to us and especially our 2 young girls who he made feel very much involved. It was a beautiful ceremony which was so relaxed and at times (at precisely the right times) very funny (“,) Our family said they have never heard or seen a ceremony like it before and thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony. It was just perfect & included everything that we wanted as part of our special day. We can’t thank you enough! Thank you for everything Pat (“,)

Pat was fantastic. His jolly nature put us and our guests at ease during the service and his attention to detail in the run up to the big day resulted in a smooth and professional delivery. We’d definitely recommend Pat!

It is hard to fully put into words what having Pat Clarke Browne officiate at our wedding has meant to us. From the outset he was warm, friendly, genuine and so helpful. He has some great ideas and he adds the nicest little touches. He really does think of everything! Our ceremony was beautiful, so intimate and personal. Everyone remarked on how he is able to put everyone at ease. He is great fun to be around and we really appreciated his skills with technology- Pat looked after our music, live streamed our wedding for friends and family and sent us the most beautiful video that really captured the essence of the day. We would highly recommend Pat to any couple planning their wedding. He is absolutely outstanding at what he does! Thank you Pat!

Pat was a savour for our wedding,which we had to massively cut back on with covid to a smaller number and less of the frills. Pat was able to provide all of what we needed as a videographer photographer and celebrant we couldn’t believe our luck.. his patience and kindness on our wedding day gave us such relief and calm just what we needed. Such a pleasure to deal with with quick replies to any questions we might have,nothing was ever a problem! we couldn’t recommend pat enough it felt like he was part of the family that we knew him for years! What a gentleman. He was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Can’t recommend him enough.

Where to start! Pat absolutely made our wedding day. He was so effortless to deal with in the run up to the wedding day itself. We met Pat via zoom in advance of the day to run through the ceremony and Pat gave us plenty of options for how our ceremony could be tailored to the way we would like it to be. On the wedding day itself he was an absolute professional while being bubbly, friendly and personable to us and all our guests. A good few guests actually told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony, it felt very personal, warm and light hearted which is exactly what we wanted. He is an amazing celebrant and goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. Pat also gave us the option of setting up a Zoom service at no extra charge for those who couldn't be there and he provided a really lovely recording of the ceremony itself (again at no extra cost) for us to keep which we absolutely love having. Our day was made all the more special for Pat having married us and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Humanist Celebrant. Thanks for everything Pat! Carol & Shane

From the moment we met pat we knew we wanted him to marry us. He is professional, fun and he enjoys his job you can see that in his work. Due to covid we had to change our date and again pat was so helpful and it was stress free. The lead up to the wedding pat covers everything you mite need for your ceremony we wanted to include our children and this was so easy to do. Due to covid our numbers were down and we weren't aloud live music, but pat offered to live stream or record our ceremony and he did our playlist for us so we didn't even have have to worry about music. This just shows you pat will go the extra mile for you to make your day special and stress free. We are so grateful to pat for making our day so special and fun. Booking pat was honestly the best thing we did.

Dealing with Pat took away any added stresses about the big day as everything was put at ease as soon as soon as you talk to him. Provided great level of comfort about how exactly the ceremony would go and also with Covid restrictions and no live music allowed he stepped in seamlessly managing the playlist for the ceremony. He provides plenty of great ideas for different options to make your day a little more unique and his delivery of the ceremony itself was perfect and we had great feedback from our guests. The added perk of the video of the ceremony which he did for free with 3 cams set up around the room and then edited together was also really special and generous!

So glad we choose Pat as our celebrant/solemniser. We would definitely recommend him. He is very personable and professional. All our guests commented on how good he was. He allowed us to make our ceremony as personal as we liked, including a fire ceremony. He also provided a Zoom service for those who couldn't be here and saved it as a video for us to keep which was a lovely gesture as he didn't charge extra for it. Plus because he is a solemniser he can legally marry you wherever you like which is also a bonus.

Pat was so wonderful in both the lead up to the day and the day itself. Looked after so much on the day including our music and streamed our ceremony for those who couldn’t attend which so many were very grateful for! Always at the other end of the phone if needs be too whenever I had a question or query! Very grateful for Pats ribbons for hand fasting also as a guest left ours in the car and we didn’t realise until they were needed! On the ball with everything and it all ran so smoothly! Couldn’t recommend Pat enough!

Pat just made our wedding day , he is an amazing celebrant . So bubbly and friendly . He put everyone at ease . He was even helping me with the train on my dress. He just goes so above and beyond . However it doesn’t go unnoticed , everyone we met who knows Pat was telling us what a fantastic person he is . 5 stars isn’t even enough stars to really represent how good he is at his role.

Pat was the celebrant at our wedding and we were blown away with how at ease he made everyone feel , he’s so kind and has a sparkling personality that really shines through in the ceremony . 5 stars isn’t even enough to evaluate how amazing Pat is at his role .

Pat was a fantastic celebrant for our wedding ceremony. Despite the stress of the pandemic, he remained calm and upbeat throughout. He was very helpful and always at the end of the phone or an email if we needed anything or wanted advice. He also provided a recording and streaming service as we could only have 6 guests to the ceremony; and this way, we were able to share our day with family and friends around the world. All our virtual guests commented on how professional the streaming was and how nice it was that they could be a part of the day. We would highly recommend Pat as a celebrant for anyone who is getting married and wants a Humanist ceremony.

Excellent service. Made everybody feel at ease.

What a lovely lovely man, never stopped smiling.. was witty and yet sincere... beautiful ceremony from start to finish.

Absolutely incredible effort by Pat. Wonderful celebrant for my sister. So very approachable, friendly and professional. With covid ongoing, he nonetheless smoothly conducted the ceremony, had video set up, played the music and took photos! Incredible

Pat was very professional but also added some humour and a calming presence to the occasion... which many a groom might need????. Highly recommend him

I couldnt recommend Pat clarke - browne highly enough ! Friendly , professional and accommodating .

Pat was wonderful! Helpful,kind, thoughtful, great sense of humour and always came back to us so fast if we had any questions. He really made the day extra extra special not only with the beautiful ceremony but with photos,a video recording of the ceremony and music too - all so personal for us!! We couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thanks again Pat for helping us create such a memorable day.

Pat thank you so much for the recording. We went back to work on Sunday and it was a horrible cold,hard smack back to reality, watching your video on Monday night was the highlight of our week and brought all of the magic back to us. The day was surreal and I felt a little overwhelmed, there were loads of details that went over my head,so watching the ceremony back was epic, as I could relive the day again and actually take everything in properly. Thank you for swooping in last minute and saving our day...helping to make it special and officially making us Mrs and Mr. We cant thank or recommend you highly enough. All the best, A&A

We had our wedding day on 6 November 2020. To say this has been a stressful year of wedding planning would be an understatement. We made so many changes over the months leading up to the wedding it was nerve wracking. However, the one aspect that neither of us had any doubts about from day 1 was having Pat as our Celebrant. From the very first zoom meeting right up until our day, Pat was there for us in more ways than we could have ever expected. Further, when it came to the wedding day, everyone said it was genuinely one of the nicest ceremonies they have ever been at and they truly loved how much it was all about love.  Everyone had amazing things to say about Pat. They said he was warm and welcoming and that he really made everyone feel at ease (which is especially amazing given the year we've all had). They loved the atmosphere that Pat created from start to finish and we did too.  Coming from a traditional Catholic background, we had never been to a humanist ceremony before our own and so we weren't 100% sure what to expect, but Pat made it easy for us to enjoy every little moment. For that we cannot thank him enough. Pat was also beyond kind enough to Zoom our wedding to many of our family and friends who could not make it in person. It was incredibly thoughtful of Pat and I know that it meant the world to those who could still share the day with us in some way because of Pat's innovation. We can honestly say that our Wedding day was all the more special for Pat having married us and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Humanist Celebrant. Aisling & Philip.

We loved Pat. He was able to create the perfect environment for our ceremony. We had lots of happy tears and laughter throughout. Wend highly recommend him to anyone hoping to have a humanist ceremony.

We were lucky enough to have Pat as our celebrant for our wedding in Dingle, and was a dream to work with. He guided us through all aspects of the planning, from the legal side right down to the wording and order of the ceremony. He helped us to build a ceremony that reflected our values and was wonderfully personal. Highly recommended!

Pat was our wedding celebrant in May last year. We were living abroad, so we had to make all the arrangements by phone and email, but Pat was always ready to go the extra mile to make sure everything was just right. Pat’s character and personality are just perfect for the big day. He conducted the ceremony with wit, humour and the utmost respect for us, our family, friends and our values. If you prefer a humanist or non religious wedding, or you cannot for any reason choose a church wedding then I would recommend Pat Clarke Browne 1000 times

We were so happy with the service that Pat provided, not just on the day its self but in sorting out the music and showing us how the day would run. He was a very calming influence and very warm and friendly through the ceremony. Would love to be doing it again and would definitely still have to have Pat with us.

We cannot recommend Pat enough. He made our ceremony so personal and heartfelt. We couldn't have been happier with who we chose to initiate our marriage. Thank you Pat

Pat was an extremely professional and kind Celebrant. We wanted to add other elements to our wedding and Pat was very understanding and considerate of our vision. Highly recommend him for your big day!
