The Celebrant by Your Side
Weddings with Sue Anne – The Celebrant by Your Side™
Your wedding day should be about you, your love, your story, your way.
With a celebrant-led wedding, you have the freedom to create a ceremony that feels true, personal, and memorable. Whether you dream of something formal, relaxed, traditional, or entirely unique, we will shape it together, so it reflects exactly who you are as a couple.
Every ceremony I create is uniquely yours, reflecting your wishes and beliefs, Spiritual, Religious, Traditional, or entirely personal. My focus is to make your ceremony meaningful, heartfelt, and truly your own from start to finish. It is your celebration of you after all.
🌿 What is a Celebrant-Led Wedding?
It’s a ceremony that gives you choice. Choice of words, music, readings, symbols, and tone. Choice to include family, friends, or keep it intimate. Choice to celebrate love in a way that feels natural and right for you.
Every wedding I create is written with care and attention, weaving in your story, your values, and the promises you wish to make.
Of course as an Earth Spiritualist Foundation Legal Wedding Solemniser Celebrant we can on the day of your ceremony include the signing of the legal documents
📖 The Legal Element
As a Legal Wedding Solemniser, I can include the legal signing (often called the Green Folder)/MRF as part of your ceremony.
• Legal weddings must take place in a recognised venue with an Eircode.
• It must be either a building open to the public with no entry fee, or an outdoor space (like a garden or courtyard) that is linked to that building.
• Every couple is responsible for booking their Intent to Marry appointment with the HSE and paying any associated fees- please ensure you book this at least 6 months before your intended wedding date as some HSE offices are particularly busy.
I’ll guide you through the process, so you feel confident and clear at every step.
💕 The Feel of the Day
Your wedding ceremony can be as joyful, heartfelt, light, or traditional as you wish.
It can include music, poetry, personal vows, symbolic gestures, or simple words spoken with love. My role is to listen deeply, write beautifully, and hold the space with calmness and care so that you can simply be present on your day.
🌸 My Role – The Celebrant by Your Side
From the first hello to the moment, you say “I do,” I am there beside you, supporting, guiding, and holding the details so you can relax. You’ll know your ceremony has been crafted with love, professionalism, and respect for what matters most to you.
✨ Let’s Begin
If you feel drawn to this way of celebrating your love, I’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me via email, text message or phone and we can arrange a call to begin discussing your Wedding ceremony plans….
Contact me to check your date is available, share your ideas, and let’s start shaping a ceremony that feels completely yours.

What is the difference between a Legal Wedding & a Commitment Ceremony?
Some couples wish only to make a commitment to each other, while others wish to have their marriage recognised by the state. And so, to answer a question I am often asked, what is the difference?
-
With a Wedding Ceremony, as a couple you have decided to include the 'Legal Signing of the Register' as part of your ceremony, which as a Legal Wedding Solemniser I am honoured to officiate for you. Once you have completed steps one and two directly with the HSE as per their directions (which you will find on their website), we can organise the rest together!
-
While with a Commitment Ceremony, you have no wish to legally register your marriage or may have this done previously and now wish to celebrate your commitment in the presence of family and friends, with some couples choosing to include commitment Words in place of Vows.
As this is not a legal ceremony, your commitment ceremony can take place in any venue of your choosing: your back Garden, your favourite Pub, the Restaurant where you first met, on the beach at sunset, with just the two of you, or surrounded by family and friends. Also, your wedding can be themed, relaxed, formal, include spiritual, semi-religious, or non-denominational and tradition free as you both wish. It is your ceremony after all, and the choices are endless.
Testimonial
“My husband and I were so lucky to be married by Sue Anne, even after numerous delays due to Covid! We could not be more grateful for the incredibly beautiful ceremony that she created for us. Every step of the way, Sue Anne guided, supported and centred us in the planning of our special day. [...]
She is a complete natural and was clearly born to celebrate people! She puts everyone at ease and created the most beautiful and comfortable environment for all of us. We felt truly blessed for the special day that Sue Anne created for us.”
