Reverend Margaret Roche - Registered Solemniser

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!

Margaret was exactly what we were looking for. From the first time we met, she put us at ease. She guided us to create the perfect ceremony and helped us to ensure that our ceremony reflected who we were as a couple and included our children. It was beautiful. Honestly, we could not recommend Margaret enough. Margaret is a dream to deal with. Thank you Sara & Alan xx

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.

We had a wonderful ceremony and that is all down to Margaret. It was a personal, bespoke ceremony and Margaret guided us to what was perfect for us. So helpful, kind and patient. Thank you so much!
