For a Ceremony as
Unique & Special as You Are
I will listen carefully to your wishes, and help you to discover your own ceremony style!
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
Hi Sharon,
Are You Getting Married In Ireland ?
Congratulations! Would you like a unique & meaningful ceremony created especially to suit your own style and wishes? Would you like a beautiful ceremony your guests will be talking about for years to come for all the right reasons?
Would you like an expert Celebrant & Solemniser with a lifetime of experience in the Art of Ceremony & Celebration, who will listen to your requirements and create a ceremony which suits your vision perfectly?
No matter if you’d like your ceremony to be short & simple, but meaningful and without all the fuss – or that fairytale ceremony filled with all the enchantment and magic of a Hollywood movie, with over 30 years experience in the art of ceremony, both in my homeland Australia and here in Ireland (since 2012), I will work with you to create the ceremony of your dreams, whatever that means for you.
What About the Legal Parts ?
As a Registered Solemniser of Marriages I am duly authorised to create & conduct legal marriage ceremonies. Which means with me as your expert Celebrant & Solemniser, your wedding ceremony will also be a real legal marriage on the day if that’s what you really want!
Does a Legal Marriage
Cost Extra?
The Marriage Act of Ireland forbids me to charge a fee to Solemnise a marriage, which means if you would like your unique & personalised wedding ceremony to be a real legal marriage – there will be no additional cost for the legal parts. A legal marriage ceremony is the same price as a non-legal wedding ceremony.
Are You a Humanist Celebrant?
I am from Australia, the home of the Civil Celebrancy movement. The first Humanist Celebrants in the world were trained by my Celebrancy teacher from Melbourne, who is considered to be the founding father of Civil Celebrancy in the world. It’s therefore no surprise why my Australian Civil Ceremony style can easily be mistaken for a Humanist Ceremony.
I am a non-denominational Celebrant which means the ceremonies I conduct are not restricted in any way by the rules or beliefs of a Religious or Secular organisation.
The bonus with me as your Celebrant is that because I am non-denominational, I am not required to include any wording in your ceremony designed to promote the beliefs of any organisation. With me as your celebrant, you are free to choose either a non-Religious, Humanist style, Spiritual, Mixed Faith or Religious styled ceremony or any combination in between, to suit your wishes perfectly, what ever that may be.
aWhat Style of Ceremony
Can We Have?
I will help you discover your own ceremony style based on your own beliefs and wishes to create a beautiful ceremony just perfect for you.
Choose from the following styles as a starting point for ideas:
- Non-religious Humanist style ceremony
- Spiritual ceremony
- Spiritual with a Religious feel
- Miixed faith ceremony
- Mention God if you wish
With my unique collaborative design methodology, I encourage you to discover & develop your own ceremony style – which uniquely reflects your character and personality, and perfectly meets your goals and vision.
My goal is to make you feel like you have designed your own ceremony. As your creative Celebrant and ceremony designer, I appoint you as the Design Director ! This means with me as your celebrant you get to read and approve every part of your ceremony. Along with my expert advice – you make the rules!
I invite you to browse my website, and let me know if you have any questions at all. No matter what style of ceremony you wish for, I would be honoured to work with you.
