Helping you celebrate in a way that meets your needs, your beliefs, your values, and your style, is something so important to me. I’m so greatful to be in the position where I’m bringing families. traditions and cultures toether. I spent a lot of time as a childcare worker before I became a celebrant- connecting with people and creating incredible moments has always been my driving force.

Who is Nóra Ní Raghallaí?

I’ve always loved how unique each one of us are, and feel it important to embraces these differences- as they’re what make us who we are.

Do It Your Way - Do Bhealach Féin

I created Apple Blossom Ceremonies to help people commemorate the big moments with a personally meaningful ceremony.

I want your celebration to intricately and authentically reflect your love and the journey it’s taken.

In 2018 I trained with UK Society of Celebrants, in 2023 with Entheos Ireland, with whom I am a Registered Wedding Solemniser and Family & Funeral Celebrant. Based in County Armagh, I’m happy to travel all over to deliver your special ceremony.

With love, with respect, and with a big heartfelt hug

Testimonies

  • We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding ceremony all thanks to our fantastic celebrant Nóra Ní Raghallaí. Nóra was so helpful and accommodating from the minute we first spoke with her, she gave us so many ideas and she tailored our ceremony to us so beautifully. It was fun and lighthearted yet heartfelt and sincere at the same time. Nóra used the perfect mixture of English and Gaeilge and the ceremony flowed from one part to the next perfectly. So many of our guests commented on what a brilliant celebrant we had and how beautiful the ceremony had been. Go raibh míle maith agat Nóra! here

  • Thanks so so much Nóra for all your hard work and everything you did on Saturday. Everyone was singing your praises said you hit a lovely laid back tempo from the get go.

    All fluent and non Irish speaking guests said you had a lovely balance the way you mixed it together.

    Couldn't have been better.

    We're still buzzing from it. Just kicked the day off perfectly and everyone was love buzzing all day.

  • Nóra, go raibh maith agat as gach rud inné, bhí lá galánta againn. Nóra was our celebrant for our baby's naming ceremony, she has such a warm, positive energy in a room front of people- we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding too. We talked through some of the things we wanted, but are opened minded about the rest of the ceremony. Nóra has offered so many different ideas. We are delighted to work with her to create our bespoke wedding ceremony.

  • Thank you Nóra, our celebrant who made today so meaningful, inclusive and joyous. Using three languages, celebrating three cultures, Nora delivered a beautiful transatlantic, transcontinental ceremony. Her caring, heartfelt approach to both our conversations and the delivery of the ceremony made everyone feel at ease and comfortable.

  • What a woman! The effort, time and care Nóra put into our cermony was 100%.
    We laughed, we cried, we told stories of the past, made promises for the future.
    The ease and feel good factor she bought to our day was unreal.
    we love you forever.

    Gura maith agat xn

  • "You made it so easy from our first conversation through to the end of the ceremony. There was much laughter, muddling up of names, secrets shared, some Gaelic spoken and tears shed, but we ended up with a wonderful ceremony that everybody remembers for the right reasons. It was truly the best part of the day. Go raibh maith agat. X"
