Dublin City Hall, with its elegant eighteenth century architecture, is one of the most unique wedding venues in Ireland. Offering couples a glorious and historic location to celebrate their journey together.

It’s official – you can “Tie the Knot” at Dublin City hall with me as your non-denominational Holistic Minister & Celebrant.  I am authorised and HSE registered to solemnise marriage at Dublin City Hall.

Ceremonies Created with Kindness

As a respected member of the non-denominational Earth Spiritualist Foundation, with a philosophy based on kindness, your unique & personalised marriage ceremony will be created & conducted in the “Earth Spiritualist Tradition” – the culture and ancient tradition of Ireland, based on kindness to others and all living things.  

This means that aside from specific requirements (and wording) of the Marriage Act, there will only be one rule to follow regarding the design of your legal marriage ceremony at Dublin City Hall – and that rule is Kindness.   This means first and foremost – kindness to you as my No.1 VIP. Your unique & special marriage ceremony will be all about you – a beautiful ceremony designed and personalised to your own beliefs and wishes, what ever that may be.

Your Own Unique Ceremony Style

Just like no two couples getting married are the same, no two enchanted ceremonies I create are ever the same.  Your enchanted ceremony at Dublin City Hall will be as unique & special as you are, designed & created to suit your own beliefs and wishes.  With me as your Celebrant & Solemniser, I will work with you to discover your own ceremony style to create a unique & special one of a kind marriage ceremony, especially for you.

Your unique ceremony style can be any style or combination including:

  • Non-Religious & non-Spiritual – if you choose this style there will be no mention of anything spiritual or unseen during your ceremony, and no mention of any ideas or beliefs that come from somebody else unless you have specifically requested this.
  • Spiritual ceremony – if you are spiritual, you can include spiritual wording of your choice during your ceremony such as welcomin departed loved ones in the ceremony introduction where everyone is being welcomed,  so they can be with you watching down with great love and pride for you both
  • Spiritual with Religious Feel – if you are very Spiritual and also Religious in your faith, you can go one step further and include prayers and/or mention our Highest God in one or two appropriate places, to make your ceremony more Spiritual for you both.
  • Mixed Faith – if you are both from different countries and different cultural backgrounds and traditions, you may wish to include ideas and traditions from your own culture to create a ceremony uniquely yours.  You may wish to ask your choice of Holy person or Spiritual Elder from your own faith and culture to say some special words as part of your ceremony, or if they are not able to attend your ceremony for any reason, you may wish to ask them to write some special words for you both which can be read out on their behalf as part of your legal marriage ceremony at Dublin City Hall.

Unique & Special Marriage Ceremony

When you choose me as your Solemniser & Celebrant for your legal marriage ceremony at Dublin City Hall you can be assured that I will be kind and courteous with the utmost respect to your wishes at all times.   This includes that I am required to follow a professional Code of Conduct regarding my dignified standard of dress.

Not only will I dress in a professional manner appropriate to my official role, I will also ask what colors your bridal party will be wearing, so I can avoid wearing the same color.  As your Solemniser I will also ask your permission to wear my chosen color(s) to ensure there is no dreadful surprise on your big day with the colors I wear.  There will be no bright colors such as a hot pink jacket (or outfit) worn by me disrespectfully without your permission or request. I won’t ever wear bright colors unless you request it, except for adding a splash of color with a neck scarf with your permission, and it most certainly will not be hot pink.

As a Solemniser from Enchanted Ceremonies and Earth Spiritualist Foundation, I will always have your wishes as my No.1 priority all times – you are my VIP which means I will do my utmost to ensure your ceremony is everything you wish it to be. As unique & special as you are, a beautiful ceremony designed and created with kindness, to suit your own beliefs and wishes perfectly – because I know you deserve the best for your special day!
