Yes
I am a registered HSE Solemniser.

For a legal marriage, you will need to register your intent to marry with a HSE registration office at least 3 months prior to your wedding date, and you will need to ensure that your venue is acceptable to the HSE. This basically means that the legal part of your wedding will need to have an identifiable address and be open to the public.

Yes, ceremonies with no legal component can take place anywhere. The legal part must take place at an acceptable HSE venue or location. I can guide you on all of these limitations and help you find what is best for you.

My fees vary depending on the type of ceremony, location, and level of involvement required.

 

  • Wedding Ceremonies (2026/2027)start at €650, inclusive of travel within one hour of my home in Miltown Malbay.
  • Cliffs of Moher Ceremoniesstart at €1,000 and include much more than just the ceremony itself. This fee covers:

✅ A fully bespoke ceremony, written from scratch
✅ A video planning session to shape your ceremony together
✅ Unlimited support on readings, rituals, vows, and structure
✅ Location coordination – I secure ceremony permission on your behalf, liaise with landowners or authorities, and guide you to the perfect spot
✅ Ceremony-day support – I coordinate with your photographer, videographer, and any location staff up to and during the ceremony to ensure everything flows beautifully
✅ Props provided – a small table, cloth, and other simple touches to support your chosen rituals
✅ Travel and VAT included

As a registered solemniser with the HSE, I can also provide a legally binding ceremony at no extra charge. If you’re planning a symbolic ceremony or vow renewal, no legal steps are needed.

 

  • Other Ceremonies(such as baby naming, funerals, and memorials) are priced individually, so please get in touch for a personalised quote.

A travel fee applies for all ceremonies taking place more than one hour from Miltown Malbay.

Please note: Rehearsals, if requested, incur an additional fee.

Yes! I have taken a vow of inclusiveness, so no couple will ever be refused on the grounds of any diversity of gender, orientation, colour, nationality, ability, culture or any other reason within the bounds of Irish law.

I am a One World Interfaith Minister, which gives me the freedom to perform ceremonies for people of all beliefs and/or none. It can be as spiritual, secular or atheist as you choose, I have no agenda for the content of your ceremony. I am registered as a One World Minister on the HSE register of Solemnisers.

Get in contact and check that I am available on your date. Once this is established, your booking is confirmed upon receipt of a €100 booking deposit. The balance will be payable closer to the ceremony date.

To marry in Ireland, all couples must visit aHSE Registrar to register their intent to marry NO LESS THAN THREE MONTHS prior to their intended wedding date. You will then be given your Marriage Registration Form (MRF) which you will bring with you on your wedding day for us to sign. It is your responsibility to return it to the HSE Registrar’s office within 30 days of your ceremony. See HSE website for further details.

Most ceremonies last around 30 minutes depending on music, enhancements, etc. I can plan your ceremony to fit any time requirement.
