Hi - I’m Jon. I’m a qualified wedding celebrant based in Sitges, just south of Barcelona. I’m from Dublin, but I have lived nearly thirty years in sunny Catalunya, together with my wife Orna and our five kids.
I’ve worn a few hats in that time - I’m an illustrator and children’s author, and have conducted talks and workshops in writing and painting. I've had the privilege of being asked to be best man at a number of weddings, both for family and friends - and the celebrant for a close friend's funeral - and finding the right balance of organisation, humour and heart is something I love to do. Training as a wedding celebrant seemed a natural next step.
I qualified with Mark Allen Groleau’s Unboring Wedding Academy (Mark is an experienced celebrant with a boatload of five star reviews, both as a celebrant and celebrant trainer). I'm fortunate to live in a beautiful region of Spain that's a sought-after wedding destination, and to count a number of wedding planners, caterers and musicians as friends, so if you need recommendations or introductions to other suppliers, I'm well positioned to help.
If you're looking for a unique, personal, entertaining and heartfelt ceremony in a stunning destination, I'll be delighted to bring to bear my years of experience in presenting events and crafting stories that touch the heart and the funny bone in equal measure. If you have any questions, or you'd like to book an introductory video call (there's no charge or obligation for this), just drop me a line here. I'll be happy to chat!
