Wedding Ceremonies, Your Way
A Ceremony that's all about you
So, you've booked your venue, you're getting excited about the big day, and now you're starting to think about the actual wedding ceremony.
And maybe you're wondering what on earth you're supposed to include in it!
Do you have to write your own vows? Can you have a bit of humour? Can your family get involved? And is it possible to have a ceremony that's romantic without being overly formal?
The answer is yes! And that's where the fun begins.
Your wedding ceremony is about the two of you, and I think it should reflect your personalities, your relationship and the kind of celebration you've been looking forward to.
Maybe you'd love something romantic, with a few happy tears along the way. Or perhaps you're hoping for something relaxed, with plenty of smiles and a little laughter.
And there's absolutely no reason you can't have a lovely mixture of both.
We'll have a proper chat about your plans, I'll explain the different options and we'll work out what feels right for you.
And that flexibility extends to when you get married, too! Whether you're dreaming of a relaxed Sunday afternoon, an early morning ceremony or exchanging your vows as the sun sets, I'm available to conduct weddings seven days a week, including evenings, subject to availability and the relevant legal requirements.
From your vows and readings to the music, symbolic rituals and those little touches that make a ceremony personal, I'll help you bring everything together.
And if you haven't a clue what you'd like yet, that's absolutely fine too.
I've plenty of ideas, and I'm more than happy to share them!
Because when you're standing there together on your wedding day, I want you to feel comfortable, relaxed and excited about what's happening.
Not wondering what you're supposed to say next or whether you've forgotten something!
That's what I'm there for. To guide you, look after you and make sure you can enjoy every minute of your ceremony.
Your Wedding, Your Choice
Legal Weddings in Ireland
Yes, you can have a beautiful, personal wedding ceremony and be legally married at the same time!
As a registered solemniser, I can legally marry you at a suitable venue in the Republic of Ireland. Whether you're planning something small and intimate or a big celebration with all your favourite people, we'll create a ceremony that feels right for you both.
Legal Weddings in Northern Ireland
Getting married north of the border? Lovely!
I can also conduct legally recognised wedding ceremonies in Northern Ireland, so you can enjoy a relaxed, personal ceremony while taking care of the legal requirements.
And if you're unsure about the paperwork, don't worry. I'll happily point you in the right direction.
Symbolic Wedding Ceremonies
Already legally married, or planning to take care of the paperwork separately?
A symbolic ceremony gives you the freedom to celebrate your marriage exactly how you'd like, without the legal declarations.
Romantic, relaxed, full of laughter or a little bit of everything - it's entirely up to you!
The Little Things That Make it Yours
Sometimes it's the little things that make a wedding ceremony the most memorable.
Maybe you'd love to write your own vows, but you're wondering how on earth you're supposed to put everything you feel about someone into a few sentences!
Or perhaps you'd like your mam to do a reading, involve your children in the ceremony or include a little story that has everyone smiling.
And there's nothing wrong with a few laughs along the way either!
You might also be thinking about including something a little different, like a handfasting, unity candle or sand ceremony.
And if you're sitting there wondering what any of those actually involve, don't worry!
I'll happily explain the different options, give you a few ideas and help you choose something that feels right for the two of you.
Because the loveliest ceremonies aren't necessarily the ones with the most things happening. They're the ones where every little detail feels like it belongs.
From Our First Chat to Your Wedding Day
01 - Let's Have a Chat
First things first, let's have a proper chat!
Tell me about your wedding plans, what you'd love your ceremony to be like and anything you're unsure about. I'll explain how everything works, answer your questions and give you a few ideas along the way.
02 - Making It Personal
Once you've booked, we'll start bringing your ceremony together. I'll help you with your vows, readings and any special touches you'd like to include, before writing a ceremony that's personal to you both. And don't worry, you'll get to read it before the big day!
03 - Your Wedding Day
This is the exciting bit!
I'll arrive in plenty of time, check that everything is ready and make sure you both know exactly what's happening. All that's left for you to do is relax, enjoy your ceremony and get married!
Your Wedding Ceremony, Your Way
So, what would you actually like to include in your wedding ceremony?
Maybe you're thinking of keeping things simple, with your vows, rings and a few lovely words.
Or perhaps you'd love to include a unity candle, handfasting, a favourite reading or something that gets the family involved.
And if you're not quite sure what you'd like yet, don't worry. We can figure that out together!
I've put together three wedding ceremony packages, starting from €700, with different options depending on what you'd love to include.
And whichever package you choose, you'll have my guidance and support throughout the planning, right up to your wedding day.
Because it's not about squeezing your wedding into a package. It's about finding the package that works for you.
Once your wedding ceremony is booked, you might be wondering what happens between now and the big day.
In this short video, I'll talk you through how we'll work together to create a ceremony that feels personal, relaxed and completely you.
From our first chats to those final little details, you'll know exactly what to expect along the way.
So, You've Booked Me.

Tell me a little about yourselves, when and where you're hoping to get married and what you'd love your ceremony to be like.
