Choosing a celebrant or solemniser
First, decide what kind of ceremony you want and whether it needs to be legally binding on the day. A registered solemniser can legally marry you; some couples handle the legal element separately and have a celebrant lead a personalised ceremony. Either way, meet or speak to your celebrant beforehand to make sure their style suits you.
Ask how much the ceremony can be personalised, whether they help write it, how far they travel, and whether they are available for both your date and your rehearsal.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a celebrant and a registered solemniser?
A registered solemniser can perform a legally binding marriage in Ireland. A celebrant leads and personalises the ceremony, but unless they are also a registered solemniser the legal marriage must be registered separately. Always confirm which you need.
How far in advance should I book a celebrant?
Popular celebrants book up twelve months or more ahead for peak dates. Giving the required notice to the registrar is a separate legal step, so start early.
Can our ceremony be personalised?
Yes. Most celebrants work with you to shape the readings, vows, rituals and tone so the ceremony reflects your story. Ask each celebrant how much input you will have.
Do celebrants travel to our venue?
Most travel to your ceremony location, with a fee sometimes added for longer distances. Confirm coverage when you enquire.
