When they can't make the journey, their voice still can.
A sister in Sydney. A brother in Toronto. The people an ocean away — recorded wherever they are, and woven into the keepsake of your day.
When the people you love are living abroad
NEAR AND FAR
Some moments are too important for distance to decide.
It's an Irish story as old as the country itself — the people you love most don't all live down the road. A sister settled in Sydney. A godparent working in Dubai. Cousins who grew up together and now wake up in different time zones. When the day comes — a wedding, a christening — the ones who shaped your life can't always travel home for it.
The day itself will be captured beautifully: photographed, filmed, remembered. But the voices of the people who couldn't travel are the easiest thing to lose, and often the thing you'd most want to keep.
Your keepsake is built from the voices in the room. Remote Voices simply widens the circle — so the family who couldn't travel are recorded wherever they are in the world, and become part of the keepsake alongside everyone who made it.
HOW IT WORKS
Recorded wherever they are, produced like everyone else
Some journeys are too far. A voice doesn't have to be.
1. I guide the recording
Once you tell me who can't travel, I reach out to them directly. It's usually done on a video call, or I send simple instructions so they can record on their phone — whatever suits them. No apps to learn, no studio needed. I make sure they feel relaxed and sound their best before recording anything worth keeping.
2. I produce it to the same standard
Their recording is cleaned, levelled and edited in studio, exactly like the voices captured in the room — never a raw, echoey phone clip. By the time it's finished, you can't tell who was across the other side of the table and who was across the other side of the world.
3. Their voice joins the keepsake
The finished recording is woven in alongside everyone who was there on the day, so the people who couldn't travel are part of the same piece — not a separate file added at the end.
Optional: some couples and parents choose to hear these messages for the first time on the day itself — a small planned moment when a voice from the other side of the world arrives. Entirely up to you.

Questions about remote voices
REMOTE VOICES
-
Once you tell me who can't travel, I contact them directly and take it from there. I do a video call with them to explain everything and make sure they’re comfortable with the process. If it suits, the message can be recorded during the call itself. Otherwise, they can record it on their phone afterwards and send it over when they’re ready.
-
That’s a completely understandable concern, and the process is designed to be as simple and reassuring as possible. The video-call option is usually easiest for less tech-confident contributors, all they need to do is just join a link, I talk them through everything and help them feel comfortable. If they’d rather not record during the call, they can use their phone afterwards instead, with clear, plain-language instructions and no apps to download. If anything is unclear, I can help them directly.
-
Yes — the message can absolutely be kept as a surprise. Once you share the names of the people who can’t be there in person, I can contact them directly and discreetly to explain the process and help them record their message. They’ll know to keep the recording under wraps until the planned reveal, so you don’t have to manage the back-and-forth yourself. It keeps the surprise intact while making it easy for loved ones to be part of the day, even from afar.
-
There’s no fixed limit, so it really depends on the kind of keepsake you want to create. Some people prefer one or two meaningful voices, while others like to include a wider mix of family and friends. If you have a few people in mind, I can help you think through what will feel balanced, personal and right for the finished piece.
-
I treat every voice with the same care, whether it's recorded in the room on the day or sent in from someone who couldn't travel. Each message is cleaned, levelled and edited in studio so it sits naturally alongside the in-person voices in the finished keepsake. The aim is for every contribution to feel like part of the same story — personal and connected, rather than something added on separately at the end.
-
You’ll receive your finished audio keepsake digitally, so it’s easy to listen to, keep and share in whatever way feels right for you. What’s included depends on the package you choose — it might be simple, beautifully cleaned recordings, or a more fully produced piece with music and sound design. If there are remote voices, they’ll be included as part of the same finished keepsake, so everything feels connected. I’ll talk you through what’s included before you decide, so you know exactly what to expect.
