Reviews for Maureen Sweeney Celebrant
Kinmount House August 2026
Mr & Mrs Dakeyne wedding at Enterkine House 16.08.2026.
And it wasn’t just the ceremony itself. Maureen was there with us through the whole journey. We had multiple calls in the lead-up, little check-ins along the way, and she made sure she really knew us and understood exactly what we wanted the day to feel like. Even on the morning of the wedding, she came to see us and calm our nerves before everything started. That meant more than she probably realises.
From the beginning, she completely understood that we didn’t want a ceremony that felt formal, generic or like something she had done a hundred times before. We wanted it to feel like us, and she absolutely nailed it.
Our ceremony had everything in it — ring warming, handfasting, songs, a reading, our own personal vows, surprise ring bearers and sharing from the quaich. There was so much going on, but Maureen brought it all together so naturally. Nothing felt forced or overly rehearsed. It just flowed.
It was funny, emotional, relaxed and so personal. Even with 170 people sitting there watching us, it somehow still felt intimate and like it was just the two of us standing there.
Since the wedding, so many of our guests have told us it was the most unique, personal and engaging ceremony they have ever witnessed. People laughed, cried and were completely involved from beginning to end, and hearing that afterwards has meant so much to us.
The ceremony ended up being one of our absolute favourite parts of the whole day, and such a huge part of that was Maureen. She didn’t just turn up and marry us. She guided us through the whole process, got to know us properly, settled our nerves and then told our story in a way that felt completely genuine and completely ours.
We’ll always be so grateful that it was her standing there with us. 🤍
We couldn’t have chosen anyone better
From the very beginning, Maureen was absolutely lovely and so helpful. She really took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted from our ceremony and made sure it felt completely like us. We wanted it to be meaningful and personal without feeling too formal or drawn out, and she got it absolutely spot on.
Maureen was also so reassuring throughout the whole process. There were a few times in the run-up to the wedding when I was feeling nervous or worrying about different parts of the ceremony, and she always made me feel so much better and put my mind at ease. On the day itself she made both Colin and me feel completely comfortable and relaxed, and everything just flowed perfectly.
She made such an important part of our day feel really special, personal and completely natural. You can tell how much she genuinely cares about the couples she works with, and nothing ever felt rushed or like we were just another wedding.
We genuinely couldn’t have asked for anyone better to marry us and we’re so grateful that Maureen was part of our day. We would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant — she was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. ❤️
Maureen was absolutely amazing
Wonderful celebrant
She took the time to get to know us and created a ceremony that felt personal and completely “us”. So many of our guests commented on how relaxed and meaningful it was.
Maureen was professional, organised and easy to communicate with, and we felt she offered great value for money. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding.
Couldn’t recommend enough 🥰

Watson Wedding
Maureen created a beautiful, personal and lighthearted ceremony for us. Throughout the entire process she has been so responsive to our requests, giving us ideas and advice and keeping us on track with all the important things!
Maureen ensured our service was unique and tailored to us, she ensured it was lighthearted and fun and made everyone at our small wedding feel special. She kept things going smoothly when our toddler decided he was done sitting still and quiet!
Thank you for everything and for being part of our special day!

Maureen was absolutely fantastic from first booking her until our big day finally arrived in July ‘25. She was in regular contact with us throughout and kept us up to date on when forms had to be completed and handed in.
On our big day, all our guests commented on how it was such a lovely service especially with us choosing to do a hand-fasting which Maureen prepared us for on our final meeting so everything ran smoothly on the day.
We would highly recommend all future brides and grooms contact Maureen.
Thankyou so much for making our day special
From
The Dicksons
Wedding celebrant
On the day, Maureen brought such calmness, joy, and sincerity. Our family and friends commented on how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was, and that was all thanks to her.
Maureen truly went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a celebrant who is thoughtful, genuine, and an absolute delight to work with.
Married With Laughter, Thanks to Maureen
After a few calls, Maureen created our wedding script and for us to okay it- it was perfect first time!
Our final meeting, we went over our hand fasting, and spoke through all the details ensuring nothing was missed.
On the day, Maureen was there early, paid the bridal party a visit in the suite upstairs and visited the grooms party, totally relaxing us both and bringing the laughs.
The ceremony was amazing. The right amount of laughs, but also emotional and loving. Our dog Callie was apart of the ceremony too, who started growling during our “I do’s”- Maureen with her witty humour, cracked a joke and the place loved it.
Maureen has been amazing this full process, and we would definitely recommend her!
An amazing woman🩷
