At Celebrant Moments by Mairéad, I work hard to create a truly memorable, meaningful, and personalised ceremony. Whether it is for the perfect wedding, or a bespoke, loving funeral service to remember the passing of a loved one, as an experienced and highly regarded celebrant and solemniser, it is a great honour to take the time and care to support my clients. I would love to create a stunning ceremony with you as a couple, one that truly reflects your values, beliefs, and personalities.
I am based in Athlone, Co. Westmeath. I am married and I have two kids, one dog, and two cats!!
My celebrant journey started due to personal reasons in 2015. The week before our church wedding, my father had to go into the hospital, and we were told that he was not going to be able to go to the wedding and that he may not even live until Saturday when our wedding was scheduled. At that point, all I wanted was for my father to attend, but of course, this was not going to happen. We found it very hard to get even a priest to come to the hospital to say a blessing when we visited in our wedding attire.
He died five months later, and we had a Catholic funeral for him as he wished. I felt the ceremony was more about the prayers than the person. After this, I started my research as I thought there had to be an alternative to the church, and that is when I discovered Celebrants, and the rest is history as they say!
All the ceremonies are created and written with absolute love. There is nothing that compares to the amazing feeling that I have from being invited to be a part of such an important time in people’s lives.
When I am asked about my ceremony style, I take into account the feedback I receive from the guests after every ceremony. Some of the words that are commonly used to describe my style are "beautiful, just right for the couple, fun and emotional, filled with laughter and tears."
