Are You Getting Married In Ireland ?

Congratulations!  Do you believe your ceremony is an important part of your big day?  Would you like your ceremony to be unique & special, designed & created to suit your own beliefs & wishes?  Are you looking for an expert in the Art of Ceremony & Celebration who will understand what you want and go out of their way to ensure your ceremony exceeds your expectations? You’ve found the right place!

What About the Legal Bits ?

With me as your Celebrant, your unique & personalised ceremony can be a real, legal marriage on the day if that’s what you really want, isn’t that wonderful?   There will be no need for you to attend a Registry Office on a different day with your witnesses for a Registry Office Marriage, or Civil Ceremony.  Unless you live abroad and have decided that’s what’s most convenient for you both.

As a Registered Solemniser, I am duly authorised by Law to Solemnise Marriage in the Republic of Ireland.  As a Holistic Minister, I am honoured to create & conduct beautiful unique & personalised non-denominational ceremonies for people of all faiths or none.

I Have the Expertise You Need

Are you looking for an expert with a lifetime of experience in the art of ceremony & celebration, who will listen to your requirements and understand exactly what you want, who will create your beautiful ceremony to suit your wishes perfectly?

No matter if you’d like your ceremony to be short & simple, meaningful but without all the fuss – or a fairytale ceremony with all the enchantment and magic of a Hollywood movie!  With over 30 years experience in the art of ceremony & celebration, both in my homeland Australia and here in Ireland (since 2012),

I have the creativity, vision and expertise to design & create your beautiful ceremony, and also the experience to prepare and deliver your ceremony flawlessly on the day!  This will ensure your ceremony is the one your guests will be raving about for years to come – for all the right reasons!

Does a Legal Marriage Cost Extra?

There is a government fee to register your marriage.  This is a non-refundable €200 “Notification Fee” paid to your choice of HSE Civil Registration Office.  This payment is necessary legal requirement to “notify your intention to marry”.

My ceremony fee is the same for a non-legal wedding ceremony or renewal of vows, as it is for a legal marriage ceremony.  There will be no extra cost from me to solemnise your legal marriage.

Are You a Humanist Celebrant?

I am often asked this question.  I am from Australia, the home of the Civil Celebrancy movement.  The first Humanist Celebrants in the world were trained by my Celebrancy Mentor & Teacher, a wonderful ex-Clergy, who was the first registered Civil Marriage Celebrant in Australia and the world, who is known as the founding father of the Civil Ceremony movement worldwide.

Therefore it’s no surprise why my Australian Civil Ceremony style can easily be mistaken for a Humanist ceremony.  Just like a Humanist ceremony, every ceremony I create & conduct is non-Religious.

Why Should We Choose You to Officiate ?

Couples who don’t wish to be married in a Church choose me to officiate their wedding ceremony for so many reasons, including:

• My experience & professionalism, along with my caring approach to every aspect of your ceremony design & delivery.
• My unique, collaborative & creative ceremony design process gives you complete control of all ceremony design decisions every step of the way!
• As a Holistic Minister, I am non-denominational.  This means your non-church ceremony can be any style you wish, to suit your own beliefs and wishes.
• I will dress in a professional manner to comply with your dress code.
• I know when it’s appropriate to be in your wedding photos, and when it’s absolutely not.
• My standard inclusions are impressive – I really have thought of everything!

Most importantly – I never forget what an honour and a privilege it is to be part of your special day.

Your Dream, Your Vision

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.
