DANIEL & MIKAYLA'S TESTIMONIAL FOR IRELAND WEDDING PLANNER

Daragh is the best! 

My husband and I highly recommend working with him! Not only did he save our wedding, but he exceeded our expectations through.

 

Throughout the whole process and made our wedding better than we could have imagined! He was caring, professional, efficient, and trustworthy and took the time to know us on a personal level.

 

Daniel and I originally had a venue booked in Headford for our September wedding, but there were too many red flags- so we had a few months to re-plan our entire wedding. We reached out to a handful of wedding coordinators, but after speaking with Daragh we immediately knew he was a good fit and we wanted to work with him. When we told Daragh about our situation he not only didn’t shy away but eagerly welcomed the challenge and assured us that we would still be able to have our dream wedding. We scheduled calls every few weeks or communicated via email to touch base on planning. After a few weeks, he found us the perfect venue at Sieve Aughty Centre, and he did a site visit ASAP to make sure the venue would be a good fit for our needs/ease our anxiety.

 

Once we secured the venue, he worked with our vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly (photographer, hair, DJ, florist, etc.). The day before our wedding he met with us at the venue and we spoke with the venue coordinator to go over last-minute details and answer any questions we may have had.

 

On the day of our wedding, he was there bright and early checking up on Daniel and me, making sure that we had everything we needed. Daniel and I flew over from Florida, so I had brought over a guest book and little things I wanted displayed for our guests- I gave them to Daragh and he assured me they would be taken care of.

 

As the day went on Daragh was moving things along in the background without making us feel rushed to get ready or to be anywhere at a certain time – we were on a schedule, but it didn’t feel like it.

 

His presence and good cheer kept us and our guests at ease. When it came time for our ceremony, Daragh did a lovely job transitioning through our ceremony by lighting a remembrance and unity candle, poems, stories, and handfasting. Our families told us how memorable and heartfelt our ceremony was- something that we will never forget! I remember walking back from our ceremony and seeing our guest book displayed on the table so perfectly- it made me smile.

 

After the ceremony, he continued to speak with our guests while guiding people where they should be and helping the transition from ceremony to cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, etc. Several challenges arose such as the groom's suit arriving late from the dry cleaners, pouring rain and flooding, and a cat crashing our ceremony, but Daragh was able to adapt and overcome those obstacles.

 

Without Daragh, we wouldn’t have been able to relax and fully experience our wedding day. He offered tips throughout the planning process and the day of our wedding to make sure we got time to step away and take in all that was happening around us. He wanted us to have our dream wedding and he surely did deliver! Plus, our guests adored him!

 

Daragh, thank you so much for all that you did! It was a pleasure working with you. I know you will help many other couples have their dream wedding in the years to come!
