Reverend Margaret Roche - Registered Solemniser

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!

Margaret provided a beautiful personalised ceremony for David & I. She really got to the core of who we were as a couple and guided us through the process seamlessly. She incorporated our son into the ceremony which was very special and important to us. We couldn?t have said I do, without you! Thank you so much for everything Margaret. x

Margaret acted as the celebrant and solemniser for our wedding in April 2023. She offered many suggestions for ceremonies, readings and music to craft our wedding ceremony as we wanted it to be. She was always in touch with us throughout the process and offered to speak with us whenever we wanted.

We would recommend Margaret to any couple getting married.

Margaret guided us and helped us to create the perfect ceremony suited to us and our children. We both felt at ease with Margaret from the beginning her warmth and kindness meant a lot to us. I would highly recommend Margaret as she has some beautiful suggestions and is always very responsive if you have any questions. The ceremony couldn't have gone any better as many of our guests remarked on.Thanks again Nicola and Darragh Duggan.

We were really happy to have Margaret to do our wedding cermony. She listened to what we wanted and offered some really lovely ideas to make our simple wedding special. Always quick to respond to any questions we had about the cermony. She made us feel relaxed both before hand and on the day. We would highly recommend Margaret!

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.

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.
