Rev Brenda O'Grady Wedding Solemniser & Family Celebrant

I am a Legal Wedding Solemniser, a Family Celebrant and an Interfaith Minister. I am Registered as a Solemniser with the HSE which means that I have the authority to legally marry you on your wedding day in your venue. I am based in County Laois and work nationwide. I am also Weddingsonline Wedding Celebrant of the Year 2022!! I will guide you through the process of creating a bespoke ceremony with you, ensuring that it expresses your love and commitment to each other in a unique, personalised and meaningful way and reflects your beliefs and wishes, personal stories, philosophy of life, and personality. I will help make the planning through to delivery of your ceremony as stress-free and simple as possible. As your Solemniser I will create a bespoke ceremony for you which will be modern, upbeat and yet can include traditional and ancient rituals. I will create your Ceremony in full consultation with you in order that the service includes everything you would like. Your Ceremony will be legal, bespoke, personal and bridge the gap between church, civil, spiritual or humanist; whatever type of ceremony you wish for I will make that wish come true! I absolutely love working with couples at this exciting time in their lives and I aim to create a Ceremony which reflects your personalities, your hopes and dreams for the future and to make yours an enjoyable and stress free journey. This ensures that the atmosphere on your wedding day maintains the integrity of the commitment you are making to each other and is informal, relaxed, enjoyable, fun and something both you and your guests can look back on with fond memories for years to come. I only hold one wedding per day so you choose the time of your Ceremony and if that changes for any reason I am available. You may wish to include personal vows, readings, ancient rituals such as handfasting, quaich, sand ceremony, ring warming/blessing, ceremony of light to name just a few. Details of Ceremony enhancements are included on my website http://www.weddingandfamilycelebrant.ieand when we meet I will explain the many possibilities to you. You may want a ceremony full to the brim or more low key, the choice is yours. I have taken a vow of inclusivity and welcome diversity of gender, orientation, colour, nationality, ability and culture within the bounds of Irish law, and I have no requirement to speak about any parent organisation during your ceremony. I offer a quality service & professional delivery, I have been creating Ceremony since 2006 and love my job. Over the years I have held Ceremonies in hotels, castles, on Irish Islands, mountain tops, beaches and on the Cliffs of Moher. I invest my time and energy into each ceremony that I create. I can advise you on the legal requirements for getting married in Ireland when we meet, virtually or in person. I look forward to joining you on your journey and I would be more than happy to have a call with you to answer your queries without obligation. Rev. Brenda
