creates an unforgettable day

I specialise in creating bespoke ceremonies that honour the importance of your commitment, reflect your personalities, and include all of your family and friends.

Smiles, laughter, tears and joy, are all part of what my ceremony brings to your special day.

I’m based in Cork City, and I’m happy to facilitate ceremonies all around Ireland.

Ceremonies I specialise in:

  • Symbolic wedding ceremonies

  • Naming ceremonies

  • Vow renewal ceremonies

  • Milestone Ceremonies

  • Bilingual wedding ceremonies (English and Irish)

  • Ceremonies conducted entirely as Gaeilge

  • Elopements

Weddings are milestone events in our lives and deserve to be celebrated and shared with the people you love. There’s a lot of planning involved, from finding your dream dress, booking your ideal venue, picking the right flowers, choosing invitations and amongst all of that, there’s the ceremony – the actual process for making it real and making it happen.

Every ceremony is unique. As your marriage celebrant, I will work with you together to craft a wedding ceremony that’s a true reflection of the love you share for each other.

Wedding Ceremonies

Vow Renewals

Vow renewals are a glorious way to celebrate your love and reaffirm the promises you made to each other on your wedding day. If you are thinking about having a vow renewal ceremony, a joyous and unique celebration of your marriage can be planned easily and expertly. All of the guidance and ideas to make this a special celebration is in our capable hands.

A vow renewal is purely ceremonial. There are no legal documents involved and it can be held anywhere at any time.

Naming Ceremonies

Naming Ceremonies are a meaningful and beautiful way to formally introduce your child to your family and friends. We can design a unique and personal ceremony for you. Your ideas, beliefs and customs can be woven through the ceremony to make it a truly memorable occasion. A naming ceremony is non-religious. As there's no legal aspect to this type of ceremony, they can be held at a venue of your choice, including your own home.

Milestone Ceremonies

A Milestone Ceremony is a celebratory ritual to mark a significant achievement or transition in a child’s or young person’s life such as reaching a birthday milestone, a school-stage milestone, transitioning from primary to secondary school or perhaps celebrating a re-naming ceremony. These ceremonies date back many years in history across all belief systems around the world. The Milestone Ceremony is a perfect way to use the symbolic rituals of traditional Coming of Age Ceremonies or Religious Ceremonies and present them in a modern way.

At Lir Celebrants we look at the old traditions, customs and practices and weave these into a modern bespoke family ceremony. At the heart of every Milestone Ceremony is the child or young person we are celebrating. Family/Friends involvement and participation in the ceremony is also encouraged and supported.

Please get in touch for more ideas on creating a personalised and unique ceremony for your son or daughter and indeed for all of the family too.
