There really are no limits to when and how you marry…You can choose to have your uplifting and personal wedding ceremony at any location in Northern Ireland, with whatever special touches you may wish to add in. I'll help you to plan the perfect ceremony that's authentic, and memorable.

People find that my warm and gentle nature, combined with my calm and confident approach to public speaking, my joy of life, delight in love and my compassionate heart make me a perfect choice for conducting weddings. I consider it an honour and privilege to be with you on one of the most important days of your life.

Together we’ll work out the most fitting way marry as I guide you through the process. I'll create a ceremony by developing a rapport between you, your partner and myself, and then sharing your story (as much or as little as you like) in a ceremony that is deeply personal, compassionate, entertaining and unforgettable.

You can be sure that a wedding conducted by me will be inclusive, warm, welcoming, personal and authentic.

Whether you choose a traditional and simple ceremony or if you'd like your wedding to break all the old traditions and include something new and a little unexpected we can do it. This is your special day and an opportunity to create an occasion that is as special and unique as the two of you!

"Everyone tells us that it was the best wedding ceremony they have attended. Janni set the tone perfectly, for our special day."

— Carolyn

"Janni made our ceremony amazing, her words were beautiful and the fact that she mentioned being related to Freddie Mercury was an absolute highlight. Janni is absolutely fantastic at what she does, and we cannot thank her enough for everything. We get to be husband and wife because of her and that is a dream thank you xxxx"
