Your Perfect Wedding Ceremony, Designed with You in Mind

As a wedding celebrant based in Athlone, Co. Westmeath, I work with couples across Ireland to create ceremonies as unique as their love stories. Whether you envision a small, intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I bring warmth, personalization, and attention to detail.



Why Choose a Celebrant-Led Wedding Ceremony?
With a celebrant, you have the flexibility to tailor every detail—from the vows and music to special rituals like handfasting or unity candles. I’m legally authorized to conduct weddings, making the process seamless.

I can create a modern bespoke version of a traditional ceremony or a non-traditional ceremony. My ceremonies are full of love and smiles and I will tell your story with funny stories woven through the script and present your ceremony in a way that makes you both feel comfortable and at ease. 

Perhaps you would like some elements of a cultural service or create a mixed-faith ceremony; maybe you want something different; do you want an unusual location - a hot air balloon, beach, back garden, or beside a lake? Ireland has so many beautiful locations for a wedding - some of them quite hidden!
 
We can include your much-loved pets or children in the service - they can have special roles which will be truly memorable. We can include your family or people who are special to you both, through readings, poems, or Ceremony Elements like handfasting or a sand ceremony.

A celebrant-led wedding ceremony can include readings, songs, or poems that say something about you both and your story; the service can also include rituals to create a ceremony that is perfect for you as a couple and beautiful memories for everyone involved.


See the Ceremony Elements Menu link to see other rituals or elements for your wedding ceremony.





Let me craft a bespoke light-hearted wedding script for you which incorporates everything that is important to you as a couple.

Legalities:


​Your celebrant ceremony is the beautiful exchange of personal vows and the celebration of your wedding with no rules, no restrictions on where it takes place, and no time limitations.


I am a One-Stop-Shop so I can legally marry you on the day. Check with the venue, that they are approved by the registrar.


Dream of having your wedding in your back garden, this can happen too but you will have to do the legal admin in the registry office. This can be done the days prior to the celebrant-led wedding or even weeks or months before (it can even take place after) - it provides you with the legal certificate to prove you are married in the eyes of the law. 




Why Celebrant Moments?

  • Personalized Experience: I limit bookings to one wedding per day, dedicating my full attention to making your ceremony memorable.
  • Expert Guidance: I offer guidance on both the ceremonial and legal requirements, plus creative suggestions for meaningful touches.
  • A Stress-Free Journey: From our first conversation to the final “I do,” I’m here to ensure a smooth and joyful experience.

How it works:


  • ​Introductory consultation meeting with both of you and me - your Wedding Celebrant - let's talk and ensure we are a perfect fit - this can be a virtual meeting or face-to-face.
  • I will send you examples of readings, poems, and wording for the vow exchange and ring exchange, this will make everything a bit easier for you.
  • You will be fully involved in approving the final script.
  • On the big day, I will arrive early to ensure everything is set up correctly - so you can thoroughly enjoy the ceremony.
