Clara and Mick’s wedding was a dazzling celebration of colour, music, and pure joy—a true ode to their fabulous and fun personalities. From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this was no ordinary day.
The ceremony was a show-stopper, complete with a gospel choir that surprised guests and colourful confetti cannons, setting the tone for the rest of the evening. The highlight? A spirited Madonna singalong that had everyone on their feet, celebrating love with an extra dose of diva energy.
Their bold and vibrant colour scheme flowed seamlessly through every detail—from the striking stationery to the stunning taper candles that lined the tables, casting a warm and glamorous glow. Every element came together to create a celebration as unique and unforgettable as Clara and Mick themselves.
“In the buildup to our big day, people would often ask us 'You're so relaxed! What's your secret?', and we'd give them a one-word answer... 'Maria!'
We lovingly refer to her as the 'CEO' of our wedding, guiding us through all the decisions with stellar advice and endless patience.
Our favourite parts of the weekend were all Maria's ideas, from a wedding content creator, messages on the bathroom mirrors to the gospel choir and Paudie and his band - who blew the roof off our Day Two! Her impeccable taste and eye for design (and disco balls!) meant we had the most beautiful ballroom with a gorgeous colour palette and flowers that felt very true to us. Our guests' jaws were on the floor when they walked into the room.
We had our wedding in November with 170 guests at Cloughjordan House, which we had only 10 months to plan. We could not have done it without Maria’s warmth, good humour and meticulous organisation. In our weekly meetings (which we miss dearly!), Maria came with a clear agenda and was always open and receptive to our ideas and worked tirelessly to accommodate them. These meetings took so much of the stress and worry out of planning and meant we were able to enjoy and cherish the build up to our wedding.
Maria used her vast experience and network of suppliers to find us incredible bands, glam team and stationary providers, which made our day so special. We had a large group travelling over from the UK on the day of the wedding and Maria coordinated all of their travel, ensuring miraculously everyone arrived on time. Each and every one of the suppliers volunteered such lovely compliments about Maria and her team and how much they valued working with her.
On the day, Maria and her team were an ocean of calm. They worked with the venue to set up a stunning ceremony - including keeping the 15 person gospel choir hidden, which made for a beautiful surprise! They read our minds, sorted issues quickly and moved us smoothly through the day so we could fully enjoy every moment.
We feel so lucky to have worked with Maria and shared all these moments with her. She is a genuine soul and an integral part of our big day - we'd have been lost without her and her team!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much!!
Lots of love,
Clara & Mick x”
