I am proud to stand for dignity, equality, and human rights. As a Humanist Celebrant, I believe love and community should never be complicit in oppression. I'm honoured to be part of Cork's Apartheid Free Zone initiative, supporting the BDS movement and affirming solidarity with Palestinian people.
Love celebrated, five stars shared! This wonderful couple shared how their wedding ceremony was authentic, inclusive, and unforgettable. As their Humanist Celebrant, it was my joy to craft a day full of meaning, laughter, and love. Reviews like this remind me why I love my job!

Today we pause to remember the lives lost to anti-transgender violence. As humanists, we affirm the dignity, equality, and humanity of every person. Let’s stand together for compassion, justice, and a world free from hate.

Olive’s words touched me deeply after her uncle’s funeral. It was an honour to hold space for her family’s memories and love. Feedback like this reminds me why I cherish this work.

In November, we pause to remember our dead—not in silence alone, but in story, in the rituals that bind us to love and legacy. As a humanist celebrant, I honour lives lived with meaning, and the enduring connections that shape our grief and our gratitude. Every remembrance is a thread.

I just received these beautiful flowers from a gorgeous couple I married a few weeks ago. I am blown away by their kindness. Thank you very much S & J. ❤️

A wedding rich in meaning and tenderness. Two remarkable women, deeply in love, invited their guests into the heart of their ceremony—from sharing coconut milk coffee in a modern Quaich ritual to welcoming each of us to pour sand into a collective vessel of unity. I was honoured to be part of it.

I am absolutely blown away away by this amazing Five Star Review from Karen and Mark. We had such a beautiful day in the sunshine in Waterford. I loved being a small part of their love story and am so happy they felt seen, valued and celebrated.

We had a great day in @fernhill.house in Clonakilty where Barrett Ann Denise celebrated their wedding, uniting Ireland and the USA. They lit Unity Candles and sealed their bond by Drinking from the Quaich.

Love knows no bounds, and neither should ceremony. Every story deserves to be honoured with joy, dignity, and authenticity. Inclusivity isn’t an add-on—it’s the heart of it all.

Emily and Pàdraic celebrated their wedding in an intimate ceremony in the beautiful Lavit Gallery. Their fathers lit candles to symbolise the passing on of family love and values through the generations. The beautiful readings and music were given by family members. It was a very special day.

Congratulations to Jacq and Ian on their wedding in Langton’s Kilkenny. Their personalities shone right through the ceremony with Dr Who motifs throughout. They kept their rings in a coded cryptex and made their vows with a Yooperlite Oathing Stone. Congratulations to you both!❤️

Ayden celebrated his first birthday with a beautiful Naming Ceremony at home last weekend. It was a real honour for me as I was the wedding celebrant for his parents, Fiona and SJ, a few years ago. It was a gorgeous family occasion. Welcome to the world, Ayden! ❤️
