Last update: October 2026

Hi, I’m Tríona.


Originally from Ireland (dia dhuit!), I am an Independent Celebrant based in Richmond upon Thames. I write, curate and officiate timeless, yet warm and personal ceremonies, beautifully written and wrapped up in your style and personality entirely.

I pride myself in creating a warm, welcoming and relaxed ceremony sprinkled with the perfect balance of lighthearted humour, emotion and elegance.

A former chartered accountant, yoga teacher, celebrant and mother ( to William and Lily), I am professional yet empathetic, organised, well used to public speaking and on hand to keep you calm and relaxed with a touch of yoga should you wish!

When I work with couples and families, I love listening and taking the time to really get to know you and understand your personal story. By the time I deliver your ceremony, I would like to think that it feels like a friend has married you.

So, if you are looking for a young (I would like to think so!) modern celebrant with an Irish sense of humour, you may have found your match.

I promise we will have fun and enjoy a glass (or two) of bubbly along the way!

Triona was in the top three choices I made for my wedding

Triona was extraordinary to work with. I gave her quite a difficult task. I decided I wanted to do a fusion ceremony blending Sri Lankan traditions and western traditions. I myself had never seen such a ceremony done before so me, my mother and Triona built it from scratch. Honestly it was an absolute delight working with her. She showed so much interest in our culture - Not through just listening to us but doing her own research. She made sure things were pronounced correct and that she understood the meaning behind it. I had such a deep appreciation for her effort because it really felt like she was working from her heart. My husband and I bonded so well with her and all three of us at one point were just talking about our love for Sri Lanka in our initial chat. Shes a meticulous planner and was so extremely organised in the planning process. Given the nature of the ceremony and the work that went into it - she was just on ball. Easily reachable, so adaptable and took real intiative to bring our ceremony to life. I thought she cinstructed our story so beautifully and did the rituals like a pro, you would not have thought it was her first time doing a sri lankan wedding. My mother adored working with her and thought she was extremely professional. At the end she even gifted us a beautiful box with the script we put so much love and hard work into and it was such a beautiful keepsake. If youre pondering on the thought of getting a celebrant, just get one - its such a lovely way to bring emotion and people into your story and at that make sure you get Triona - she will bring your story to life and make your wedding process so much more delightful - Thank you Triona for all your work and for making our ceremony so special!

A perfect ceremony

Triona was absolutely wonderful and made our ceremony so beautiful and meaningful. She understood exactly what we wanted and delivered a heartfelt, personal ceremony. We couldn’t have wished for a better celebrant and would recommend her wholeheartedly!

A wedding ceremony we will remember forever :-)

Tríona was the most wonderful celebrant. We loved speaking with her while putting the ceremony together. She took the time to really get to know us as a couple, and converted all our ramblings into the moat beautiful ceremony script. It read so beautifully that so many of our guests came up to us afterwards just to comment on it, and were genuinely astounded that she'd written it, it had such a human touch and felt completely personal to us.

We loved her handfasting recommendation too, it was such a special part of the ceremony. On the day itself she delivered it all in such a thoughtful manner, had everyone laughing at points, and made the whole thing feel so warm and special. We'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone getting married!

Tríona : our 25th Wedding Anniversay and Vow Renwal Celebrant

Tríona made what was always going to be a great day into a day that was really special to us. Tríona took the time to get to know us and find out what made us tick as a couple. She supported our process of writing our vows. On the day itself Tríona delivered a speech to our friends and family that was both warm, full of emotion as well as humour. It summed us up as a couple perfectly! Many of our guests commented on Tríona and how she made the whole event!

Hugely recommended!

Tríona was a joy to work with for our wedding. She was so thoughtful and considerate and really helped to shape the wedding into what it was.

Tríona set our expectations for what would be required of us to build the script for the ceremony as well as a timeline for what we would need to take leading into the wedding day.

We felt in such safe hands, not just in being able to trust her expertise, but also with trusting her to tell our story and present it to the attendees of the wedding. She took the time to get to know us and genuinely cared about how the day went. Tríona suggested the handfasting ceremony and it created such a wonderful memory of the day, along with all the chat and excitement with all of our 'ribbon bearers' beforehand.

I recommend Tríona wholeheartedly. The script was fun but sincere, full of love, but not schmaltzy which considering the event is a hard thing not to do! Everyone commented on how perfect she was.

Thank you so much, Tríona!

We loved Triona as our celebrant

Triona was a fantastic choice as our celebrant, from our first initial video call with her we knew she was the right fit and had a kind, warm nature that suited what we wanted for our ceremony. Her communication was great and super easy and she really listened to our love story when we met up with her for coffee, and provided a beautifully written script for our special day. The week leading up to our wedding day was super stress free thanks to Triona’s flexibility and we managed to have our ceremony in Richmond Park in the sun. We highly recommend her!!!

Magical ceremony thanks to Triona

We are so lucky to have had Triona be our celebrant on our elopement day in Richmond Park. Triona is so lovely and really a wordsmith. We felt that she really knew us as a couple and took time to craft a bespoke ceremony for us that was more perfect than we had even hoped for.

Vow renewal

Triona was fantastic at creating a beautiful ceremony for our 20th wedding vow renewal. We had never done something like this and she helped guide us through the process seamlessly. Triona's warm personality and professionalism had helped created a wonderful ceremony and was very quick to respond to all our queries including some great ideas for inclusion.
I would definitely recommend Triona as a celebrant.
