Hello and welcome to Married by Maria

Facts

I’m Maria, a Derry Girl and wedding Enthusiast

This is the wee bit about me, and how I ended up being allowed to marry people,

For the last 15 years or so, I’ve planned weddings, run weddings, rescued weddings.

Full planner, on-the-day fixer, timeline commander, MC, vow-writer, I’ve been the full-service planner, the calm and the chaos coordinator.

After spending years behind the scenes of countless weddings, I decided it was time for a change, and time to follow my own path.

And now I’m legally allowed to marry all you lovely people.

No pressure.

 

Why it’s important to book the right celebrant

There are a lot of us out there, and we all have different styles and personalities. I like to think I can fit in anywhere and make everyone feel at ease

I’m your kind of celebrant if you want a ceremony that’s lighthearted, professional, and just the right side of sassy. One that’s heartfelt, deeply personal, tugs at the heartstrings and gets everyone in the mood to celebrate you.

Being a part of your day is an absolute privilege, and something I will never take for granted. With over fifteen years in wedding services, I’ll guide you, support you, and bring energy and calm to make your ceremony memorable for all the right reasons.

I'll bring a unique presence to your day, guide you through the process, take the time to ensure you are super comfortable, confident and well represented, and invest unsurpassed enthusiasm into your wedding day to ensure you and your guests remember your ceremony for all the right reasons.

If this feels like your vibe, get in touch and follow along on Instagram for updates and inspiration.
