Orla McCarthy Celebrant

I’m Orla, your Cork based full-time Celebrant and Solemniser with Entheos. I am committed to creating heartfelt and inclusive ceremonies that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments, 7 days a week. Originally from Tipperary, I now call the countryside outside Cork city home, where I live with my husband and young son. My son, who is autistic, has taught me a whole new way of viewing the world, when I view it through his eyes. Before becoming a Celebrant, I spent many years working with multinational companies in Ireland and abroad, specialising in employer branding and recruitment. Living abroad in diverse cultures has helped me develop a broader understanding of the world and a great appreciation for different perspectives. I bring that open mindset to all my ceremonies and provide what people really want, without any constraints. When I decided to become a Celebrant, Entheos stood out as the right place for me. They are authentically inclusive and fit with my values and what I want to provide in the world of ceremony. People can include whatever they wish in their ceremony, whether they follow a particular faith path or not. My goal is to make your ceremony stress-free, personal, and truly memorable. I’m friendly, organised and always here to guide you from planning all the way to the ceremony itself. It’s such a privilege to be part of some of the biggest events to happen in people’s lives and I’d love to be there for yours. Choosing the right Celebrant is essential to making your ceremony truly special. Let’s chat to see if we’re a right fit for each other!
