Testimonials

"Dear Aine It is hard to put into words how much it meant to us to have such a personal wedding ceremony. The amount of work you put in, and your patience combined with a gentle push to get it exactly right when we were not always focused was amazing! The whole point of having our wedding on the farm was to have a less formal, relaxed celebration. Our ceremony truly set the tone for the day. So many guests commented on how professional, yet relaxed you were - and there were lots of comments too about your amazing style. With many thanks, and lots of love” - Grainne and Michael, TheWedfest on the farm, Co. Kilkenny

“Dear Aine, I want to thank you for your great work. The ceremony for Podge was lovely and very fitting. There was a real sense that it captured him so well, that it celebrated his life, that he would have liked it. It was your hard work that made that happen and we appreciate it greatly. You asked the right questions during our first phone call and this allowed you to begin your creative work. We were so impressed that within a few hours of talking you had given us a list of readings and poems, including such a perfect poem, you had written yourself. And specially for Podge. it was always going to be part of the ceremony. It centered around one of Podge's most loved interests, fishing, it was perfect for Podge. The words that you wrote and spoke about his life story was what we wanted to say but would never have been able to get time to compose it and then would have struggled to speak it. You were able to do so much with so little and it represented Podge's personality so well. During the ceremony your voice was caring and strong and that was how Podge was too. The candle in memory of Podge was a lovely touch and has been used by Podge's mam since to remember him at home. There are so many small things that you did that made the ceremony just right and many people have been complimentary on the delivery and the words of the ceremony. Thanks so much for your dedicated work” - Andrew Cunningham, on behalf of Podge’s family

“Aine taught our son for 2 years in his special school. Our son has Down’s Syndrome and is on the autistic spectrum, consequently he suffers from severe anxiety at times. Aine established a great rapport with him and understood his complex emotional needs. Her patience and persistence helped him through a difficult time in his life and we will always be grateful to her for this. More recently our son, who is now aged 21, has suffered a great deal of sadness and anxiety following the death of a close family member. Aine has provided phenomenal emotional support and counselling for him both in person and remotely. Aine's sessions with our son facilitated him to express his feelings and worries in a way that he could not have done without her. Aine did this by exploring his best way of communication to break down his concerns into smaller issues and to give him the tools to work through his worries and sadness in a way that was very manageable for him. She has developed coping strategies for him that are invaluable and for which we will be eternally grateful. We and our son also appreciate greatly that he is treated as a young adult by Aine and respected as such” - Peter and Caroline Chapman
