Are You Looking for a Celebrant
who Understands What you Want?

From a plain and simple ceremony, meaningful & special but without all the fuss – or that fairytale ceremony with all the enchantment and magic of a Hollywood movie, I will help you to make your ceremony vision a reality.

With a lifetime of experience in my homeland Australia and here in Ireland since 2013, I have the expertise and experience necessary to ensure that your ceremony is not only polished & professional, but also as unique & special as you are.

What About the Legal Bits ?

Here in Ireland, only a HSE registered Solemniser of Marriages can officiate a legal marriage ceremony and provide you with the most accurate advice about getting married in Ireland.

As a Registered Solemniser of Marriages, I am duly authorised by Law to officiate legal marriage ceremonies and give you the most accurate advice about getting married in Ireland.

With me as your Celebrant, your non-Religious unique & personalised wedding ceremony can be a real, legal marriage if that’s what you really want! What are you waiting for?

Celtic Ceremonies & Elopements

If an enchanted Celtic ceremony and/or elopement is what you dream of for your big day, with my extensive experience in Celtic ceremonies of all sizes and elopements, I can help you bring your ideas to life! Don’t hesitate to ask me about creating a personalised Celtic ceremony or elopement to exceed your expections. As an expert on the Marriage Act, I can also advise you of tranquil coastal locations which comply with the Law for legal marriage. As most coastal locations in Ireland will not comply with marriage Law.

Why Should We Choose You?

Modern couples getting married in Ireland who would like a non-Church wedding ceremony choose me for so many reasons, including:

I am HSE authorised to officiate and Solemnise Marriage according to the Law which means your wedding ceremony can be a real legal marriage if that’s what you want
Your ceremony will be unique & special, designed to suit your own beliefs and wishes.
My standard inclusions are impressive – I really have thought of everything.
My caring and professional approach to every aspect of your ceremony design & delivery is priceless.
You are my VIP and I never take for granted what an honour it is to be trusted with such an important part of your special day.

What Style of Ceremony Can We Have?

Although most of the ceremonies I create & conduct are spiritual ceremonies, that doesn’t mean yours has to be.

Because I am non-denominational (not attached to any Church or Religious Order) your ceremony can be any style you wish including:

Non-religious or Humanist | Spiritual | Spiritual with a Religious feel | Mixed faith

I will help you to discover your ceremony style. You have the chance to read and approve every revision of your ceremony from start to finish. It’s your special day, I wouldn’t have it no other way!

Does a Legal Marriage Cost Extra?

Not at all. My fee is the same for a non-legal wedding ceremony or renewal of vows, as it is for a legal marriage ceremony.

If you would like your wedding ceremony to be a real, legal marriage on the day, there is no extra cost for me to solemnise your marriage.

Hi Sharon,

Hope you are keeping well. We would like to thank you for delivering such an amazing Wedding Ceremony for us back in April at Fota Island Resort and for helping make our Wedding Day absolutely perfect.

From your preparations in the lead up, your kind and thoughtful words on the day, down to taking care of the documents after, you took the stress out of everything.

All of our guests said that it was the most personalised and relaxed wedding ceremony they ever experienced. I think there could be a few vow renewals on the way 😊

We will be forever grateful and we love your Marriage Cert.

Best Wishes,

Caroline & Richie

“Thanks for all your advice, ideas and guidance throughout the process and helping make the day the way we always visioned and hoped it would be ”
