Hello, I’m Caroline – a legal wedding and family celebrant based in NI. I work across the whole of Ireland to create heartfelt, personal ceremonies for life’s most meaningful moments. As a legal wedding celebrant in NI Ireland, I ensure your ceremony is both beautiful and lawful.
I lead bespoke ceremonies that reflect who you truly are. Whether you’re planning a wedding, elopement, vow renewal, naming ceremony, adoption welcoming, or a celebration of life, I believe your story deserves to be honoured with warmth, care, and connection.
From Behind the Camera to Holding Space
My journey to becoming a celebrant began while working as a wedding photographer. I’ve spent years capturing the unfolding magic of a wedding day—the tears, the laughter, the tender glances, the connections. I always found myself drawn to the ceremony itself.
I saw how powerful it could be when someone truly understood the couple and told their story with honesty and heart. That’s the kind of legal wedding celebrant I’ve become. I listen deeply and help you mark your milestone in a way that feels real and memorable.
Now, as a fully trained FuturFaith celebrant and solemniser, I’m legally registered to perform wedding ceremonies in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxed outdoor wedding or an intimate elopement in Ireland, I’ll walk alongside you. Let’s shape a ceremony that feels like home, with my guidance as a legal wedding celebrant.
Ceremonies with Soul
Every ceremony I lead is completely personalised—no cookie-cutter scripts, no awkward filler, just real moments that reflect you. I take the time to get to know you, to understand what matters, and to help you express it in a way that feels natural and grounded.
I specialise in:
- Weddings and elopements across Northern Ireland and Ireland
- Vow renewals for couples honouring their journey
- Funeral ceremonies and celebrations of life with compassion and dignity
- Naming ceremonies and adoption celebrations that welcome new life and chosen family
My style is warm, calm, inclusive, and quietly powerful. You’ll find no judgment here—just a genuine desire to celebrate love, family, and connection in all its forms. If you need a legal wedding celebrant in NI or Ireland, I’m here for you.
A Little More About Me
I’m based near Larne, County Antrim, and work across the country, from Derry/Londonderry to Belfast, Newry & Dublin, and everywhere in between. I believe in beautiful moments, deep meaning, and ceremonies that feel like home.
So, whether you’re planning a joyful wedding ceremony in Northern Ireland, a soulful funeral tribute, or a sweet baby naming celebration, I’d love to help you mark the moment your way.
