About Me

Crafting personalised, non-religious ceremonies to celebrate your life’s most meaningful moments. As an experienced Humanist Celebrant, I specialise in Legal Wedding Ceremonies, Naming Ceremonies, Funerals, and Coming of Age Ceremonies. With a focus on warmth, inclusivity, and humanist values, I create unique and meaningful ceremonies that reflect your individual journey and values.
I am a Cork based Humanist Celebrant accredited by the Humanist Association of Ireland and a legal wedding solemniser. I am originally from Kilkenny but am living in Carrigaline since 2010 with my wife and two lurcher dogs. I spent many years working as a Secondary School teacher in Dublin and more recently in the Further Education sector with adults.

What is Humanism?

Humanists believe that every human being should live the best and happiest life possible while we are here on earth. Humanism is a philosophy of life and ethics, based on concern for humanity and the natural world. We do not look to any supernatural power for guidance but base our decisions on experience and reason. For a fuller explanation of the principles of Humanism, click here.

We are inclusive, so whether you are a humanist or religious, regardless of your worldview or philosophy, you are welcome at any of our ceremonies.

Celebrants accredited by the Humanist Association of Ireland are the only solemnisers who can offer a secular wedding in Ireland.

Creating Your Ceremony

I feel it is such a great privilege to work with you to mark your most meaningful moments. As a Humanist Celebrant, I specialize in creating personalized, non-religious ceremonies for weddings, naming ceremonies, and funerals, but I am happy to work with you to create any ceremony to mark your special occasion. My role is to guide you toward celebrating your family landmarks in a warm, personal, and meaningful way. These are some of the most important days of your life and require special care.

As we craft your custom ceremony together, I will listen carefully to you and bring your personality to the heart of it. You can choose to include readings, music, and symbols of your choice. You can include your guests to make them feel really part of the ceremony.

Your character will be stamped all over it. I will bring calm, knowledge, and professionalism to your day, and hopefully a large helping of fun too!
