Chris Place Celebrant & Solemniser

I’m Chris Place, a Humanist wedding celebrant based in Galway and working across Connemara, the West of Ireland and beyond. I create warm, inclusive and deeply personal ceremonies that feel relaxed, authentic and filled with meaning.

With a background as a psychotherapist, I bring a calm, steady presence and a genuine interest in people’s stories. Every ceremony is written from scratch and shaped around who you are as a couple — your values, your humour, your hopes and the atmosphere you want to create on the day. Whether you’re planning a seaside celebration in Galway, a Connemara elopement or a ceremony in one of Ireland’s beautiful venues, I’ll guide you through each step with care.

Couples choose me for my grounded delivery, personalised approach, and the sense of connection I bring to the ceremony. I can help with structure, readings, symbolic elements, vows and all the small details that make your ceremony both memorable and meaningful.
