Hi, I'm Mairead
I am a Registered Solemniser and Celebrant with Entheos, a non-denominational Religious Body in Ireland. We recognise all faiths or none. As a member of the Entheos community, I believe in the absolute equality of all people and I want you to have the perfect inclusive ceremony that captures your values, your beliefs and your personality.
I am passionate about creating a memorable ceremony for all my couples and families and I’m a born storyteller, curious about life and people and our need to come together to celebrate our milestone moments.
What's my ceremony style?
I’ve been told that I have a warm and engaging personality. I’m very good at putting people at ease. I love a sense of occasion and displaying the necessary balance of gravitas without losing the warmth, fun and enthusiasm that parts of the ceremony require.

Highlight
Candles play a huge symbolic part of many ceremonies. I love the idea of lighting a Remembrance Candle to honour our departed loved ones who have gone before us and then using the light of the previous generation to light up the path of the new generation.
Why choose Mairead?
Life can be busy and stressful sometimes. However, that can all be put aside because it’s your special day and everyone who loves you is there to support you on this momentous occasion. It’s time to celebrate your milestone and I want to create a meaningful ceremony that you and your guests will remember fondly for years to come. I’ve got you!
The ritual of ceremony is a vital part of the human existence, coming together with friends and family to celebrate. I love words and their meaning and I love delivering the right words at the right time with the right tone.
What do I offer?
Weddings
My ideal couple are deeply in love and good kind hearted souls. Anything else is a bonus! If you’re reserved and private, that’s OK, if you’re quirky and adventurous that’s OK, if you’re loud and proud that’s OK too. I’ll work with you to create a ceremony that captures your unique love story.
Weddings, Vow Renewals and Elopements from €550 for a bespoke ceremony tailored to your wishes, beliefs and personality.

Why choose Mairead for your wedding?
Up to now, you’ve been expressing your love in private but now you’re ready to publicly declare your commitment with your nearest and dearest. Sometimes that can be a bit daunting, it’s hard to know where to start. I’ll guide you through each step of the ceremony from arrival to the very end.
Naming Ceremonies
A Naming Ceremony is the perfect way to welcome your precious bundle into the world and celebrate this beautiful new life with friends and family.
I will want to know all about your child and what makes them special and unique so that I can create a Naming Ceremony bespoke to them and their personality. I can suggest lots of music, poems, readings and ceremony enhancements to bring joy, fun and a great sense of occasion to the day. Most of all, I’ll listen to you and find out what’s important to you.

Why choose Mairead for your naming ceremony?
The role of parent is the most important role you will ever undertake. As the well-known saying goes: “It takes a village to raise a child”. I would be honoured to help you introduce your precious child to your village.
Renewal of Vows
Life throws us so many lemons, we must be expert lemonade producers by now! Even strong relationships are not immune to life’s challenges. Many couples, having been through the ups and downs of life and still feeling deep love for each other, wish to re-celebrate that first commitment to each other by renewing their vows.
Vow Renewals can be a great focal-point of that big holiday you’ve always wanted. Perhaps there wasn’t sufficient funds or time available for a proper honeymoon when you got married. Maybe you could renew your vows as part of that dream holiday to Ireland that you’ve always said you wanted to take. Birthdays and Anniversaries are also a great opportunity to renew your vows and celebrate with those who have travelled on this journey with you.

Why choose Mairead for your renewal of vows?
I would be honoured to help you reaffirm your love and celebrate the wonderful life you have created together. It will be fun and joyous!
Funerals
I am an experienced Funeral Celebrant and as a member of the Entheos Community, I respect people of all faiths or none.
A Celebrant-led or Civil Funeral or ‘Celebration of Life’ Service is a beautiful way to honour someone’s passing.
I feel it as an honour and a privilege to be able to help families mourn their loved ones. The funeral is an important part of the grieving process. We come together as a community to support each other and recognise our great loss.

Why choose Mairead for your funeral?
I take the time to find out about your departed loved one and what they meant to you. I’ts an extremely difficult time for families and I’m here to provide guidance and craft and deliver a beautiful ceremony to take some of the burden off their shoulders.

Wedding celebrant
Mairead officiated our wedding and she did the most amazing job, from the first conversation we had with her to the day of the actual wedding. Mairead was brilliant on the day, she told our love story in a fab way and everyone, including myself and Eddie thought she was amazing. Eddie was a tad nervous while waiting for me and she put him at ease. Mairead is not only very good at what she does she’s a lovely person also & we would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of getting married.
Thanks Mairead for performing our wedding ceremony in the most beautiful way.

A celebration of life
I recommend Mairead without hesitation. She helped us plan a celebration of the life of our daughter, with no religion, that truly reflected her creativity, her love of life, animals and nature, and how well loved she was and is by her family and friends left behind.
Mairead listened to all of us and the result was a ceremony we are all proud of and a memorable farewell to a beloved daughter.
Naming Ceremony
Couldn’t fault Mairead. She was so attentive to all the little details we wanted to include in our day. She was reassuring when it came to our doubts about having a naming ceremony but we were so glad we went through with it. She was available for communication from our first video call until after our son’s big day. She made me feel so calm and relaxed on the day even when people were delayed there was no pressure to rush things along and chatted with our guests even the smallest ones. Couldn’t fault her and would highly recommend. ☺️
