Celebrant Ireland Catherine McWade Award winning celebrant and ceremony expert

I am/was a singer songwriter. I ran and performed in an award winning wedding and event band for over 20 years. Music brings people together. So do words, when crafted correctly. I have a great relationship with wedding couples and have worked closely with hundreds over the years leading up their big day. As a busy celebrant in Ireland, I work hard to make each ceremony personal and all about my couples.

When people leave a ceremony smiling and saying how great it was, that all sets the tone for how the rest of the day goes.  The beginning is THE most important part.

I am an ordained OneSpirit Minister. I journeyed through a two year intensive training, some of which covered creating ceremony for all of life’s milestones, from birth to death. I have studied and engaged in many of the worlds major faith paths, thus giving me the capacity to meet anyone exactly where they are in their lives and beliefs. Of course, many people don’t practice any faith or belief, and this is where I can step in.  There is more demand than ever from people who are looking for ways to reflect their own ideas through their ceremony.  I will work with you to achieve this.

Why choose me

I put my heart and soul into everything I do.  I love to challenge myself and, as a professional, am very organised, which is reassuring for people celebrating milestones in their lives.  A calm presence is needed to balance the often nervous energy. There will be no stone left unturned when it comes to crafting a ceremony for a wedding, a baby naming, a vow renewal, or for an end of life ceremony.
