Catherine O'Connor Celebrant & Solemniser

If you're planning to get married in Ireland, I truly cannot recommend Catherine highly enough.

From our very first Zoom call, she was incredibly warm, kind, and genuinely excited for us. As an American couple planning to legally marry in Ireland, the process initially felt overwhelming, but Catherine made it feel completely manageable. She patiently guided us through every legal requirement, answered countless questions, and gave us complete confidence that we were doing everything correctly.

Beyond the legal side, Catherine helped us create a ceremony that felt perfectly "Irish" while still being deeply personal and authentic to us as a couple. She took the time to understand who we are and crafted a ceremony that was meaningful, joyful, and uniquely ours.

On the day of our wedding, Catherine went above and beyond. We surprised all of our guests with a legal wedding ceremony at a local pub, so timing and logistics were a little unpredictable. She worked seamlessly with the venue to make sure everything was set up properly, was incredibly patient as our guests slowly arrived, and never made us feel rushed or stressed.

When the ceremony began, she was absolutely wonderful. She struck the perfect balance of heartfelt emotion, laughter, and meaningful moments. It was sincere without feeling overly formal, and there wasn't a dry eye—or a person without a smile—in the room. So many of our guests came up to us afterward asking, "Where did you find her?" because they were so impressed by how genuine, engaging, and special she made the ceremony feel.

Looking back, we truly cannot imagine our wedding day without Catherine. She was so much more than our celebrant—she was a trusted guide throughout the entire process and such a calming, joyful presence on one of the most important days of our lives.

Thank you, Catherine, for helping make our dream of getting married in Ireland even more magical than we could have imagined. We will forever be grateful.

We cannot recommend Catherine highly enough.
From our very first conversation, Catherine took the time to get to know us and understand exactly the kind of ceremony we wanted. We were looking for something fun, relaxed, playful, and personal—something that truly reflected who we are as a couple—and she delivered that perfectly.
Nothing was ever too much trouble. Catherine was incredibly accommodating throughout the planning process and helped us create a ceremony that felt completely unique to us. We wanted family involvement, including a poem from my father-in-law, and Catherine made it all fit seamlessly into the ceremony without any fuss.
The ceremony itself was everything we had hoped for and more. There were laughs, there were tears, and there were so many beautiful moments in between. Catherine struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and light-hearted, keeping everyone engaged and creating an atmosphere that felt warm, genuine, and full of personality.
So many of our guests commented afterwards on how much they loved the ceremony and how personal it felt. That is entirely down to Catherine's skill, warmth, and ability to tell our story so beautifully.
Thank you, Catherine, for giving us a ceremony that we will cherish forever. You were truly incredible and such a special part of our wedding day.
