Looking for a fun and relaxed celebrant for your wedding day?

My name’s Lisa, and I’m a professional celebrant with the irish Institute of Celebrants. As well as being a mom, a teacher and a musciain, I’m a big fan of a wedding and love a love story. having been witness to a variety of different ceremonies from the perspectives of guest and musician, I realised that what often made ceremonies truly special was their personal touch. Coming from a creative background, I thought that I could help couples bring their love stories to life in a way that feels authentic, heartfelt and entirely their own.

Becoming a celebrant felt like a natural step, combining my love for people, my attention to detail and my belief that every couple deserves a ceremony that reflects who they are. I want to create ceremonies that are as unique and meaningful as the couples I work with, coming from a love of storytelling and connection.

What I Offer:

  • Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life, and as your celebrant, my goal is to help you create a ceremony that reflects your love, values, and unique story. Whether you envision an intimate, personal ceremony or a grand, romantic celebration, I will guide you through every step of the process to ensure it’s everything you’ve dreamed of—and more!

  • I work closely with you to design a ceremony that is personal, meaningful, and truly reflects who you are as a couple. From vows to rituals, every element can be tailored to your vision, ensuring that your ceremony feels authentic and special.

  • I provide guidance throughout the planning stages, helping you with timing, ceremony flow, and any special touches you wish to include. As a musician, I can also assist with music choices or musician recommendations for the day.

  • Add meaningful elements to your ceremony with personalized rituals such as handfasting, sand ceremonies, or unity candles. I’ll help you incorporate traditions that align with your cultural or spiritual beliefs.

  • While based in Cork City, I am more than happy to accomodate weddings throughout the island of Ireland.

  • As a celebrant, I can craft an intimate and personalised wedding ceremony for you and your partner to honour your marriage union. However, as I am not yet a registered solemniser, you would have to complete the legal part seperately.

    This would mean:

    • First, you would need to make an appointment to give notice of your intention to marry. This has to happen a minimum of three months before your wedding date, and you would need to bring photo ID, birth certs, proof of address and a fee of €200 to this appointment. They will ask you at this appointment for the date and location of your wedding, as well as the celebrant/solemniser. They are looking for the legal signing date, and the solemniser/celebrant will be a member of the HSE staff in the Registry Office.

    • You would then need to make a second appointment (at no charge) to return and sign the legal marriage certificate. Yourself, your partner and two witnesses attend this appointment, where you would simply recite a set of legal vows and sign the marriage papers. It typically takes 8-15 mins, so no fanfare involved!

    • I have included a link with further information here: https://www2.hse.ie/services/births-deaths-and-marriages/getting-married/how/

  • My fee for all of the above is €400, without travel, which will be calculated based on distance.

Get in Touch!

I’d love to be able to help bring your wedding ceremony to life, in whatever way that works for you.
