Hi, I'm Janice
Hello, my name is Janice O’Callaghan. I am a professional legal celebrant/solemniser I am a member of Entheos Ireland and I am a wedding, funeral and community celebrant. I am a HSE registered solemniser, which means I can perform legal ceremonies seven days a week anywhere in Ireland. I have awards for both writing and public speaking and have over twenty years experience in event management and the hospitality industry. I decided to become a celebrant after tying to arrange a ceremony for my grandmother who had passed, I found it difficult not being able to create a more personal ceremony that really represented who my grandmother was. So my jouney began. I now write and perform ceremonies for people and with people, always listening to what they want.
What's my ceremony style?
Your love story is written from the beginning, sometimes including heartstopping and beautiful memories.
We will work together to ensure you are completely happy and fully confident that your ceremony is exactly what you want and unique to you and your family.
Some examples of wedding ceremonies I perform are…
Celtic Knot/Hand binding ceremonies
Feather ceremonies
Unity Candle ceremonies
Wine box ceremonies
Sand ceremonies
Lock box ceremonies.
I also love to bring my broomstick,( I promise not to arrive on it.) I love to perform the ancient tradition of jumping the broom.
In today’s society, families can be blended and varied and I can create the perfect ceremony to reflect this.
Some couples also like a nod to religion with a prayer or a spiritual reading included and others like it playful and fun with their children or their fur babies involved.
I’ll work with you to make it your perfect bespoke wedding.

Highlight
I love to write creative ceremonies, that are reflective and representative of the couple. Personal, fun and unique.
My special moment is working with each couple to deliver their absolute perfect wedding that they have dreamed and planned for. I love making their dream wedding a reality.
As an animal lover I love to see your fur babies involved in your special day. If you’d like your fur baby to be the ring bearer or your best fur buddy, I would be more than delighted to include them.

Made Our Day!
To Janice – thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony that you provided for us on our wedding day.
Thank you for making it so special. All your suggestions were perfect and really made it for us. It was a pleasure getting to know you before the wedding and it made the wedding feel even more personal.
We loved all the touches you included like – the facts about Friday the 13th (we got married on a Friday the 13th!) and the meaning of the different flowers we had on the day. Everyone was talking about it after. You are brilliant at what you do and we couldn’t recommend you enough.
Wedding
Janice was a pleasure to deal with right from the beginning. She listened to exactly what we were looking for and took all the stress away from us. She made it all so simple. From just one pre meeting, she really got to know us and knew exactly what we were looking for. I love how she included our boys and family aswell. It just goes to show how good she is.
A Christmas Wedding
Janice, if we thanked you a million times over, it still wouldn’t be enough for the amazing ceremony you created for us!
From the very start, Janice was an absolute pleasure to work with, she truly tailored a ceremony fitting for our relationship and our little family. The whole ceremony involved our twins,just the way we wanted it too! All our guests have complimented the personal touches and gestures throughout our ceremony and honestly they wouldn’t have been the same without Janice.
Janice is a wonderful character and soul!
Highly recommend Janice! If its a light hearted, warm, embracing ceremony you’re looking for, look no further!
Wishing you all the best Janice!
Thank you again and again ❤️
Diane & Timmy
