Where do we start?!
Let's have a chat! We can start with a telephone conversation to discuss some of your ideas around what you might like to include in your ceremony! We can also meet to plan your ceremony, including poems, readings, and of course for weddings, can can discuss sample vows, exchanging rings and other ceremony rituals and enhancements that you might like. My service includes unlimited email and telephone support between our initial consultation and your ceremony so that your special occasion is perfect and absolutely stress-free!
How do we register our marriage in Ireland?
As a OneSpirit Interfaith Minister, I am authorised to solemnise your wedding, under the Civil Registration Act 2004 - Section 53 (3). This means that I am listed on the Register of Solemnisers and I am authorised to sign your Marriage Registration Form, also known as 'The Green Book', which means your wedding ceremony will be legally binding! Additional information may be found on the Health Service Executive website.
