There are some Solemnisers in Ireland that have authority from the HSE to perform wedding ceremonies legally in Ireland at a time, date and location that suits you. These solemnisers tend to be more open minded about incorporating personal beliefs into your ceremony.

Wedding and Partnership ceremonies are all about a couple celebrating their love for each other and making a commitment to one another in the company of those people who are important to them. This is done with appropriate, well-chosen words, readings and music in a place of the couple's choosing. Dick has been carrying out ceremonies celebrating the full cycle of life for the past twelve years in Ireland. Following the passing of the Civil Registration Amendment Act in December 2012 by the Dáil and Seanad, the General Register Office added all current HAI-accredited celebrants to the list of solemnisers meaning that a humanist ceremony is now officially recognised and a celebrant can legally marry couples.

Dara Molloy is a Celtic priest and monk from the Aran Islands who will offer you a Celtic or Nature ceremony. This ceremony can include a Four Elements Blessing, Handfasting, a traditional Irish blessing and a blessing for the health and protection of your marriage. It can also include prayers, readings and music. The ceremony is non-denominational and more spiritual than religious. Religious references are only included if requested. It can be held outdoors, weather permitting or indoors. Depending on your choice, the celebrant will dress as a priest, monk, druid or in a layman's suit.

Spiritualist ceremonies are very similar to civil or humanist ceremonies in that they are legally recognised and official. However, within a spiritual ceremony a couple can incorporate their spiritual beliefs and often pay respect to loved ones passed. You can incorporate readings and music of your liking, and exchange vows and rings.
