We booked AuntieKaties for our wedding in January 2025. I was a bit hesitant to book over the price quoted, but after we had Clodagh at our wedding we'd have happily paid double if not more for how amazing she was!! The best money we spent over the whole wedding.

Clodagh took care of 2 of our sons (3 year old & 5 year old nonverbal ASD) for 24 hours. Within the 1st half hour she had them won over and from then on they were best friends. They were both obsessed with her, so much that they didn't even want to sit with us for dinner they were glued to her! I was particularly worried about bedtime as both my kids aren't the best at bedtime and thrive off routine, but she had them both in bed and asleep quicker than I usually would myself and sent photos to reassure us during the day.

Clodagh was fantastic with everyone, not just the kids and everyone that met her complimented how amazing she did. I'm still getting messages asking for her details.

100% recommend Clodagh and AuntieKaties ★★★★★

What a fantastic service!
Clodagh was waiting for us when we arrived at the hotel, and immediately bonded with the children; we were two families with 4 kids under 6. She had them all day and overnight and they loved her. She kept in touch throughout, and sent us pictures of the fun they were having. I had to bribe my children to come down to the wedding reception as they ?were having too much fun with Clodagh?. Knowing that the kids were happy & safe, gave us great peace of mind and we were really able to relax and enjoy the wedding.
Thank you so much to Clodagh & Auntie Katie's ? I would highly recommend your services.

We are so happy we decided to book auntie Katie's, we would of been lost without Clodagh. She was so friendly with the kids and kept them entertained all day. She was absolutely brilliant with our 9 month old and checked in with us all day! She had a great attitude we really enjoyed her presence on the day! She even hunted down bridesmaids for pictures ???? I would highly recommend this service!!

We had Auntie Katie look after our three year old for our wedding day and she was amazing. Katie is fantastic with children and has such a nice way about her my son just loved her straight away. He was sick the day of the wedding but it didn't phase Katie she was fantastic. Everyone was asking us who was the lady minding Jamie and thought we had known her for a long time when I said he had just me her that morning they could not believe it, she is just so professional and great at what she does. Jamie is a real mommy's boy and I was really worried about who would mind him on the day but with Auntie Katie there I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day knowing Jamie was in good hands. Anyone who is getting married and has children I would highly recommend Katie, it was without a doubt the best money I spent the day of the wedding, thank you so much Katie

Katie was fantastic with our six month old. She ensured that the baby was involved at a level to suit her schedule. She removed any anxiety or worries we could have had, making the whole day stress free. We would definitely recommend Katie.

My husband and I got married on December 15th 2022. We have a 1 year old son and a 3 month old son. Katie came to the home house and was absolutely fantastic. I was so worried about how my eldest would react but he absolutely loved her. We have been asked since the wedding for Katies number. She is all people are talking about. I couldn't recommend her enough !! We will 100% get her again.

Katie was outstanding the day of our wedding, she took great care of our 14 month old son Dermot and he had so much fun with her. We were really at ease knowing that Dermot was happy and he could join the celebrations when he wanted. Our guests and the hotel staff all
commented how great Katie was too, she was like part of the family. Katie was very flexible and worked around the times that suited us. Such a great service and will definitely recommend to anyone I know.

The best money we spent for our whole wedding! Dawn was absolutely amazing!! She was so helpful as well as looking after the kids. Our two kids were 3 and 6 at the time, they are both a handful, everyone commented on how amazing Dawn was with them. From the minute she arrived she got stuck in and they loved her straight away. Our wedding is almost 3 months ago now and they still talk about her. We didn't have to worry about the kids all day which was so lovely to know they were being well looked after. We will be recommending this service to EVERYONE we know! Thanks again for making our day stress-free xx

We couldn't have asked for better with Katie. She did an amazing job minding our 11 month old the weekend of our wedding. Katie is very experienced and intuitive; our daughter Rhea to her immediately. Katie ensured Rhea was part of the day (they even did the rounds during the drinks reception and dinner which we loved!) but also that she had her naps, meals or was whisked away when things got overwhelming for.
Katie was so easy to deal with and professional. Our guests were so impressed with her and how she managed Rhea. Thank you Katie.

We got married at the weekend and Kate took our 11 month old daughter all day and kept her overnight! She brought her into the church for the ceremony and into the reception when aswell. She was absolutely amazing with her and we didn't have to worry one bit about her. Aoibheann had her arms out for Kate rather than us. We could enjoy every minute of our big day knowing she was in safe hands. If your thinking of booking Auntie Katies don't wait just do it, you will not regret it ??

Can't recommend Katie and Clodagh enough. They were singly the best thing we did for our 3 kids who were attending their aunt's wedding. Communication was brilliant with Katie at time of booking and she took such interest in learning about our kids and what they liked. On the day Katie and Clodagh made sure that the kids were their only focus, so well looked after and they had the best fun. We genuinely knew that they were in great hands from the minute we met the girls. The had so much energy and enthusiasm. The kids got to have great fun but were also brought down to join in the fun when wanted. Without a doubt amazing value for money, the girls went above and beyond and our kids still talk about the great fun they had with Katie and Clodagh.

Where do I start Katie and clodagh looked after the kids at our wedding recently and all I can say is they are AMAZING ???? ????. There was nothing these women can't do. They made our day so so special by making sure of 2 kids were looked after and also part of our special day. They aren't just babysitters they are so much more than that and the kids had an absolute ball all day. We felt so happy and we knew the kids were happy with them and that made all the difference. If anyone is thinking about booking with Katie don't even question it for a minute best thing we did for our wedding. Forever grateful for all they did on our big day.

Aunty Katie was a godsend for my wedding! She came to Portugal to look after my two little girls under 3 for 3 days! My girls loved her and enjoyed all the time with her. But not only that me and my now husband were able to completey switch off knowing our little girls were in the capable hands of Katie!
I would 100% recommend her to every couple getting married with young children in Ireland or abroad!

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of the work kate and her team do we had kate herself for our wedding a few weeks ago and my god I was blown away she cared for 2 very "energetic" 3 year olds and our son and niece. Kate made it look easy from the morning of the wedding in the church the venue and even the following morning they were so well behaved trust me we were shocked ???? honestly the best decision ever made was having kate care for them they didn't look for us once and we were quiet content with that she had everything under control from start to finish!! I personally just want to say thank you so much for everything and making the day so much easier for myself and my sister will 100% be recommending to everyone xx

We were blown away by the service provided by Clodagh. Clodagh entertained all 4 of the bridal party kids superbly. She had her hands full with the 3 girls 3,4 & 5 years but managed them better then we could ever hoped for. All the kids who have only ever had immediate family babysitting loved her and took to her straight away. Clodagh made our day taking the kids soon after we arrived at the hotel. The comfort of knowing the kids were happy and safe with her was fantastic. She brought the kids to us several times throughout the evening letting them still be part of the celebrations but allowing us adult time and them wedding free time in between. It really was perfect. Our family didn't even have to be called on for bedtime help!! The kids have talked very positively about Clodagh and when i asked my 3 year old 3 year old if she liked her she told me she was 'so much nice? & my 4 year old told me all the fun things she did with them ???? We received several comments from guests who noticed how fantastic a job Clodagh was doing. Clodagh went above and beyond even helping me with my dress & veil. Thank you so much to auntie Katie's for giving us such an amazing childminder it really let the whole family enjoy the evening!!

Clodagh minded our 14 week old son on our wedding day & the following day. We would highly recommend Clodagh & Katie from Auntie Katie's wedding babysitter service. It was our first night away from our baby and we felt relaxed and trusted in the excellent care that he got. The service was professional & great communication meant we were kept up to date yet able to relax on the days also. Would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a wedding babysitter service.

We were so worried how our 1 & 2 yr old were going to cope with our wedding day - thank goodness for Auntie Katie ! Kept them entertained and cared for all day long - the kids loved her from the get go - it was such peace of mind for the day and into the night - they had a ball with Katie and it meant we could relax and enjoy our day - Katie couldn't have done more for them and for us on the day and I couldn't recommend her highly enough - still can't believe how instantly the kids took to her it was phenomenal!

Kate was absolutely amazing with our two boys. So attentive, kind and caring. They had a great time with her.
I would highly recommend this service if you are looking for someone to take care of your little ones either on your big day or if you are a part of someone else's big day.

Great service. Clodagh was really great with my little boy.

We had Katie and Isabelle for our wedding the 11of August minding 6 kids especially our little girl who is 2 which we were so worried that she would not settle with anyone I did not no what to expect but as soon as Katie came when we were doing our pictures she had our daughter smileing straight away and both Katie and Isabelle were absolutely fantastic we did not have to worry the rest of the day our daughter and the rest of the kids loved the hole experience they were so happy all day could not get over how well it went it was the best thing we ever booked out of the hole wedding honestly I would recommend Katie to anyone who is getting married she is just fantastic with kids .thanks so so much for everything Katie ye were truly outstanding

We had clodagh mind our little boy for our wedding in July. She was amazing from the get go our little boy was stressed that morning and clodagh managed him so well I knew I could relax from the minute I met her and didn't have to think twice about him during the day we would of been lost without her highly recommend!! Thanks again clodagh ????

Clodagh looked after our little girl the day of our wedding and they took to each other like a duck to water. We had no stress at all on the day and was really able to enjoy ourselves knowing our girl was in good hands. Thanks

Clodagh was amazing from the moment we met her. Our son (17 months) took to her straight away, and he normally doesn't take to strangers. We were so ease throughout the entire day, as we could see that he was so busy playing and having fun with her. She was so professional throughout the whole experience, we could not recommend her highly enough. She was fantastic!!

Clodagh was amazing with our little boy we did not have to worry about him at all. She text with some updates so we knew he was sound asleep so we were able to relax and enjoy with our guests.

We hired Katie to mind our 3 year old son Evan on our wedding day and it was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. Katie arrived early that morning to our house to meet Evan and came with us to the church and venue and stayed overnight until breakfast the next morning. Katie was fantastic with Evan. It was so lovely to have him with us for the day, but also have the comfort that he was being kept entertained and cared for all day.

Evan loved being with Katie and settled with her so well, which helped us enjoy our day even more!! We would 100% recommend Katie!! Such a fantastic service and I would recommend to any parents on their wedding day or celebrating a significant occasion.
