From our 1st meeting with Danielle we were put completely at ease and knew she was the celebrant for us! She made everything so simple and was an absolute joy to work with. On the day she was an air of calm, just what we wanted & took the time to explain all the finer details. Even now we still have people making comments about how fantastic the energy and vibe of Danielle was. She really was a dream to work with. Danielle, thank you again, and for anyone thinking about booking her....stop, just do it!! x

Danielle was the first & only celebrant we met for our wedding & we booked her within days. Danielle has such a personable personality where you feel like you have known her for years. She also takes time to get to know you as a couple, what your vibe is & what you’re looking for from her. Our ceremony was absolutely everything we wanted - it was all about us as a couple. It really felt like a friend was telling our story & sharing in the joy. Danielle injected humour into our ceremony which is what we wanted & yet also a lot of sincerity. Please do not hesitate at all if you are thinking of making a booking.

What can I say about Danielle? We had no idea what a humanist service was, we both didn't go to church and didn't think a religious ceremony was for us, we wanted something more personal to us and our family on the day. we were recommended Danielle by our venue and she certainly did not disappoint, from the first meeting she made us feel both very welcome and at ease, she had us laughing within a matter of minutes which is exactly what we were after. The script she wrote about us and our family was flawless, she really captured both of our personalities, from start to finish. Danielle is absolutely fantastic at what she does, we had soo many compliments about the delivery of our service, about Danielle and the way she spoke in general. I cannot thank her enough for agreeing to be part of our big day 🩷

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect celebrant than Danielle. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease and took the time to really get to know us as a couple. Our ceremony was so personal, heartfelt, and full of meaning—it felt like us in every possible way. So many of our guests commented on how special and unique it was, and that’s entirely down to Danielle’s care, warmth, and attention to detail. We were also so honoured to be Danielle’s 100th wedding of the year, which made it feel even more special—and despite such a huge milestone, she gave our ceremony so much time, energy, and genuine care. She struck the perfect balance between emotional and light-hearted, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere that we’ll never forget. Danielle truly went above and beyond to make our day special, and we’re so grateful to have had her as part of our wedding. If you’re looking for a celebrant who will make your ceremony unforgettable, we couldn’t recommend Danielle more highly. 💛

Having Danielle as our celebrant was the best choice we could have made. She kept both myself and my now wife at ease, from before we walked down the aisle and throughout the whole ceremony. She interacted with not only us but our guests too which made it that little bit more special. Would 100% recommend having Danielle as your celebrant/humanist.

I knew from the moment I met Danielle that I wanted her to be my celebrant.. She was so warm and vibrant and funny, she kept us right from the beginning regarding all the legal stuff an made sure we were fully prepared.. My ceremony was my favourite part of the wedding, it was absolutely gorgeous. So personal and all about us and Danielle really brought our story to life. A lot of my guests commented on how they had never been to anything like it before.. Loved it. I want to do it all over again. Can’t thank you enough Danielle, you’re a wonderful person and just amazing at what you do.. 🩷

We had the absolute pleasure of having Danielle as our celebrant and we honestly could not recommend her enough! Her calming presence helped to put us so at ease from keeping us right with the legal paperwork right through to ensuring the ceremony runs smoothly, I didn’t need to stress about a thing! So many of our guests have also commented on how fabulous Danielle was and how beautiful the ceremony was thanks to her. It’s hard to believe she was only starting in the industry when we were lucky enough to book her as she is a true professional and the best person for the job✨🤍 Honestly just couldn’t thank Danielle enough and if we could do it all again I would base it around a date she was free😆🫶🏼

Where do we start?! From the moment we met Danielle she was so friendly, bubbly, and immediately felt more like a friend than a stranger. We had a zoom meeting because of our work schedules and after our call ended we both immediately agreed, Danielle was our celebrant. We knew we didn’t need to look any further! We contacted her straight away to say please marry us! When we finally met in person, we chatted and laughed so much and got on so well that we stayed twice as long as we were meant to, and had to reschedule a dentist appointment! Danielle took the time to get to know us as a couple, learnt about us as individuals, and became interested in our unique love story. Danielle sent us wee reminders about our paper work, and was so good putting up with all the emails from us. Our ceremony was so personal, full of emotion, and Danielle allowed us to add our own personalities into the day, even ‘rock paper scissors’ to see who went first with our vows. Nothing was too much trouble for Danielle, she explained everything from the start, and helped us perfect our personalised vows to each other. Everyone commented on how beautiful, personal and emotional our ceremony was, there was hardly a dry eye in the place. We added unity candles and the celtic knot tying to our ceremony and Danielle incorporated them both into our service seamlessly. Then to top it all off we were gifted a copy of our ceremony script, which was a lovely wee touch and really appreciated! We would not hesitate to recommend Danielle to anyone and everyone needing a celebrant to make their special day even more perfect! We’ll be in contact for our vow renewals in 10 years time! Our only regret is that she lives so far away from us that she can’t easily pop over for a cuppa and a giggle! If you need a celebrant, stop looking, and book Danielle, Tie the knot. C&R xx

What can we say other than WOW. We knew from the second we met Danielle that she would be our celebrant for our wedding. She conducted the most perfect ceremony for us and our guests have been telling us it was the best ceremony they had ever experienced. Danielle was amazing from the early stages of planning right up to conducting the ceremony on the day. She was always available to answer any questions and to help with legal bits. Danielle has the ability to have all of your guests laughing one minute and then wiping away happy tears the next. The ceremony was full of love, humour and sincerity. She told our love story perfectly and kept us cool, calm and collected at the ceremony. Her bubbly personality is perfect for this job and you can tell that she loves what she does. We will forever remember Danielle as the perfect person who married us. Thank you for being a big part of our special day! Anyone who is looking for a celebrant should look no further than Tie the knot NI you will not be disappointed. Thank you again, Michael & Mark.

Danielle is amazing! From the moment we met her she made us feel so relaxed. She put so much thought and effort into our ceremony. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and personal the ceremony was. From start to finish it was perfect thanks to Danielle’s expertise

Danielle conducted our wedding ceremony in October 2025 in the beautiful Rosspark Hotel and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone else to have done a better job of marrying us! Danielle had been amazing from the very first appointment and was so approachable and informative. We both knew from that first appointment, she was who we wanted when we came away! Neither of us had any worries on the day, she met with us both separately to help calm our nerves, explain everything that was going to happen and she made our whole love story so special and we were so excited for our guests to hear. We also included a few extra special mentions and the way she put these into words was simply beautiful. We cannot thank you enough Danielle, honestly you are incredible at what you do. For anyone who has booked her you are in great hands or if you are seeking a humanist you will not be disappointed. Wish we could do it all over again, it really was the most amazing day! 🤍

Danielle was amazing from start to finish. The ceremony was personalised to our story and included all the special elements we wanted to mention. Guests said they loved how bespoke it was to us and was just the right amount of time. Danielle was also great at calming my nerves before the doors opened to walk up the aisle. The only downside- the day went too quickly but we loved every minute and so pleased we chose Danielle to share our day!

When we saw Danielle conduct a ceremony we both looked at eachother and knew she was the person we needed for our wedding. From the moment we booked her we were kept in the loop and she kept us informed of everything we needed to do checking in via email and phone calls. On the day she even came out to check in on us and keep us right before coming down the aisle. Our ceremony was light hearted and very personal, just what we wanted for our day! We even got to add a wee touch in to include our mums. Guests haven’t stopped complimenting us on how great the ceremony was! Thank you so much for making our day, you were amazing! Love the new Mr & Mrs Neill xx

Danielle was recommended to us by a mutual friend! We didn’t know we wanted a celebrant until we met her! Right from the start she was so bubbly and friendly and our minds were made up. She helped us every step of the way with what to do and where to go with the certificates. On the day everyone said how great she was, she made our ceremony so personal, sentimental but also funny! We are so so glad we choose Danielle and will be recommending her to everyone! Thank you Danielle for making our ceremony perfect! ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Danielle, we knew from our first meeting that you were the person to marry us, and you proved us right in every way. We can’t thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony you created for our wedding. It felt so personal, heartfelt, and true to who we are. The way you told our story made it even more special, and so many of our guests have told us how much they loved it. We feel so lucky that you were the one to guide us through such an important moment in our lives. Thank you for making our day so special. Xxx

Working with Danielle was an absolute breeze from start to finish! Such a friendly presence and went over and above for us! Coming over from Wales meant we had no time for meet ups etc before the wedding but it felt like we had known Danielle for a life time on the day! She relaxed our nerves and made the whole experience amazing. Thank you so much for being a part of our big day! Lots of love from Shannen, Simon and Ofcourse Hunter Williams 🤍🤍🤍
