SPIRITUAL WEDDING CELEBRANT
Wedding Celebrant Northern Ireland
I am a spiritual wedding celebrant based in Belfast, and I officiate for wedding ceremonies right across Northern Ireland. ​​If you're wondering about a humanist wedding or a spiritual wedding, then a spiritual wedding celebrant may be the perfect choice. Like a humanist wedding, a spiritual ceremony focuses on human values and relationships, but offers more flexibility. It's a great option if you want to include elements of spirituality in your big day. Here's why you might choose a spiritual wedding ceremony over a humanist one.
​​As a minister and spiritual wedding celebrant, I will work closely with you to design a ceremony that reflects your love story, values, and preferences. Whether you’re looking for something traditional, modern, or a mix of both, I’ll help bring your vision to life.
​
As a spiritual wedding celebrant, I welcome couples of all faiths, backgrounds, and orientations, offering a non-denominational and inclusive approach. I will help create a ceremony that respects both of your traditions.
​
Ultimately, the right wedding celebrant is the one who feels like the best fit for you as a couple. If having the choice to include something spiritual is important to you, then a spiritual wedding celebrant might be the ideal choice.

YOUR JOURNEY TO "I DO"- in THREE SIMPLE STEPS
1. Legal Preparation - Your Notice of Marriage
Your journey begins with the legal formalities. You’ll each complete your Notice of Marriage form, confirming your intent to marry, and submit them to the Registrar. Once that’s taken care of, you’re free to focus on what truly matters, creating a ceremony filled with love, meaning, and personal touches.
2. Designing your ceremony
This is where the magic begins. Next, we will work closely to design a ceremony that truly reflects your story and values. This includes choosing readings, music, vows, and any symbolic elements you’d like to include. Every element is chosen with care, ensuring your ceremony feels authentic, heartfelt, and deeply personal.
3. Your Wedding Day
On the big day, I will bring everything to life leading your ceremony with warmth, confidence, and care. I will ensure every detail runs smoothly, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere so you can be fully present in the moment and celebrate your love surrounded by family and friends.
