“I can’t sing enough praises for Yasmeen and Laurence from Ladybird Ever After. If you want to feel like you have the full support of amazing friends, these are your people!

With a 6 month lead up and only a general idea of what we wanted for our elopement, Yasmeen met with us and asked us many questions about what we envisioned for our special day and provided us with lots of options for where we could do the elopement. Ultimately we decided on Muckross Abbey in Killarney, IR.

We provided them with a Pinterest board and our ideas of what we want but we also allowed them the freedom to plan some things that they thought we would enjoy. We told them that we really wanted a Super 8 film videographer so they searched to find one that would be able to make it out there and could film both Super 8 as well as digital.

Rodolphe at Best Day Productions (videographer) was a pleasure to work with and he was very receptive to requested edits to his video, not that many were needed.

Shane at Shane Turner Photography was also wonderful. They both were able to work together as if they had worked together before but it was their first times actually working together. He provided many stunning photos in both color and black and white.

The florals were gorgeous! I’m not sure who the florist was but I believe it was someone local to Killarney. On the day, something came up with their family so the florist wasn’t able to bring the flowers but, of course, Yasmeen and Laurence made sure to pick them up for us!

They also booked our Officiant, Cara Fuller at The Celebrant Way. She was so amazing. We met with her several times to just talk about our love story. She asked us for readings, poems, etc that we would want read aloud during the ceremony and she provided us with tips for writing our own vows or options for some pre-written vows. We opted to write our own as well as provided some readings for her to say. She took the information about how we met and the ties that we have and made a very beautiful speech out of it all. We are non-religious so it was very nice that we were able to celebrate our day and love without it having to be a religious ceremony.

Yasmeen and Laurence booked us a high tea reservation at a lovely castle hotel and then a reservation for dinner at an amazing restaurant in Killarney. They also spoke to the owners of the bar next to the restaurant and they allowed us to go behind the bar to pour some Guinness for customers. A very fun little bonus to the day!

After high tea and before dinner, we were walking around town in our wedding outfits (highly recommend this if you want lots of congratulations and a few older couples coming up to give you tips for a happy marriage). We stopped in a few stores to get some momentous and gifts for family and friends so by the time we were ready for dinner, we were sitting outside the restaurant and then Laurence and Yasmeen happened to be there! They came up and were catching up with us and noticed we had a bunch of bags so they offered to take them back to our air bnb for us! Such a kind gesture and it was so so appreciated.

I got a chance to speak with Laurence one on one while Yasmeen was helping my wife with her dress. He told me that it was their love for American people who are choosing to come and celebrate their love in Ireland that lead them to starting this company. With their own love story, Yasmeen an American, Laurence an Irishman, he wanted to make sure there was an elopement planning team that actually took care of their clients. One that made sure you were taken care of, every step of the way and not just taking your money and letting you figure it all out yourself. It’s so evident in what they do that this is their passion and their dream. They are absolutely amazing!”
