Common Issues:
I will ask about all sorts of nosy questions, such as:
Full Wedding Ceremony incl Legal Solemnising
Full Wedding Ceremony incl Legal Solemnising
So you’re planning your wedding?Congratulations!!!
Once you’ve decided to marry, you can begin to discuss your joint vision for your ceremony- what time of year, your location, indoors in a castle or a hotel or a chapel, or outdoors in a garden, on a beach or on top of a snowy mountain!
Being one of the preferred Wedding Solemniser in Dublin, I can hold your ceremony anywhere you wish, (Legal ceremonies must be held in a HSE approved venue, and we can facilitate that as part of your day).
You Should Also Know...
Wherever you choose, I am happy to work with you to create a ceremony that is unique, reflects you both as individuals and as a couple (and a family, if children are involved!
This includes everything you need for a fully bespoke, legal ceremony, crafted entirely just for you. I provide unlimited support and guidance in the lead-up to your ceremony, and will fully guide you towards the ceremony style that best reflects you both; as a couple, as individuals, and as a family.
ARE YOU
Excited
To be planning your wedding ceremony, knowing that the highlight of your day will be standing in front of your loved ones as you marry your life’s partner
Determined
To ensure that your guests enjoy every moment of your wedding ceremony, and they feel included right from the outset?
Unsure
Of the type of ceremony you want, but know that you don’t want a ‘traditional’ wedding?
Sure
That you want your ceremony to be deeply meaningful and moving, and truly reflect who you both are, as individuals and as a couple?
DO YOU
Spend
Your spare moments Googling ceremony ideas and suggested readings?
Feel Swamped
By the sea of Ceremony options available?
Wait
Long for guidance and support throughout the whole process?
"As an Independent Minister, my ceremonies are non-denominational, and can contain as much or as little spirituality as you’d like."
We can discuss this in more depth when we meet, but for now please know that it is my great joy to create a ceremony which is deeply meaningful and sacred to you, and so that your family and friends feel deeply connected and included during it.
This might mean that you’d like it to be very lighthearted with touches of humour, or maybe you’re planning an intimate, candlelit affair in the presence of your nearest and dearest– you tell me what you’re aiming for and I will take it from there.
- Once we have established what is important for you to have acknowledged during the ceremony, I can then begin the process of weaving it all together- you don’t need to worry at this stage about how it all fits together, I’ll take care of that!
- We’ll then talk it though step by step when I present you with your draft ceremony.
- It is of the utmost importance to me that you feel your ceremony reflects who you both are, and what your marriage means to you, so I offer unlimited revisions, and unlimited support and guidance in the lead-up to your ceremony.
- For a legal marriage, you will need to Register your Intent to Marry with the HSE at least 3 months prior to your wedding date, and you will need to ensure that your venue is acceptable to the HSE.
- I will give you more guidance on this as we work together but the main thing for now is that for legal solemnising, it will need to have an identifiable address and be open to the public.
We will meet up as often as you’d like ahead of your ceremony, and I will ensure that we have everything ready well ahead of time- let there be no panic! <3
