2. What Kind of Ceremonies do you offer?

Whether you’re planning a wedding, elopement, vow renewal, baby-naming or a mixed-faith/ non-religious/spiritual ceremony, I tailor everything to suit your story and values.
I also specialise in Celtic traditions like handfasting and ring-warming. More details can be found here.

3. How soon should we book you?

The sooner the better! Popular dates fill up fast. As soon as you enquiry we’ll check availability and reserve your date once you’re happy to proceed.

4. What’s involved in the planning process?

  • We’ll begin with a chat to get to know your story, style and vision.
  • Then I’ll draft a personalised ceremony script for you to review and tweak.
  • We’ll rehearse if needed, and I’ll coordinate the ceremony with you and your venue/venue host.
  • On the day, I’ll arrive early, set the tone and ensure everything runs smoothly.

5. Can we include our own vows, rituals or readings?

Absolutely — this is your ceremony. Whether it’s a personal vow, a favourite poem, a hand-fasting ritual or a ring-warming moment, I’ll weave in whatever matters most to you. Reewing your vows? Check out here.

6. Are you a registered solemniser?

Yes — I am fully HSE-registered as a celebrant and solemniser. 

This means I’m legally authorised to officiate your ceremony in accordance with Irish law.

7. What are your fees and what’s included?

Fee details vary depending on date, location and type of ceremony. What is always included:

  • A personalised consultation and planning process
  • A fully bespoke ceremony script
  • On-the-day attendance and officiating
  • Travel in the agreed area
    Once you contact me, I’ll send a clear breakdown of the investment and what to expect.

8. What if our guest numbers change or our plans shift?

Life happens — I’m flexible. If your guest numbers or timing shift, we’ll adapt the ceremony script and logistics accordingly. If the date changes, let me know as soon as possible and I’ll check availability for your new date.

9. How do we secure our date with you?
Once you’re happy to move forward:

I’ll email you a service agreement.

You pay a booking deposit (terms will be clearly stated).
After that your date is officially reserved.

10. What if we just want an elopement or something small and intimate?

No problem at all. Whether it’s 2 or 200 guests, I tailor the tone and structure to suit your scale and style.
If you’re going very small, I’ll offer suggestions to make it warm, meaningful and relaxed.

11. Can we choose the location ourselves (e.g., beach, garden, abroad)?

Yes — if it’s legal in the location you’ve chosen and the logistics work (permissions, travel, weather, etc.).
I’m happy to discuss non-traditional venues or locations outside of typical settings.

12. What happens if unforeseen things occur (weather, illness, etc.)?

We’ll plan ahead: if your venue has a weather contingency plan, we’ll align on that.
In case of illness or emergency on my part, I have procedures in place (and a backup plan or referral as needed).
Your ceremony is important — I’ll do everything I can to ensure it goes ahead smoothly.
