Hello, I'm Kirsty
I'm an Independent Celebrant, ceremony writer, and quiet space-holder for some of life's most meaningful moments.
If you've landed here, you're probably not looking for a cookie-cutter ceremony. You're not just ticking a box. You're searching for something more - something with soul, with story, with emotional depth.
You're my kind of person already.
What is an Independent Celebrant?
In simple terms: I create and lead non-legal, bespoke ceremonies that are deeply personal and shaped entirely around you.
I'm not bound by any religion or fixed script. Instead, I have the freedom and the wholehearted desire to co-create something that reflects your values, your rhythm, and the way you move through the world.
That might look like:
- A wedding in your favourite place, with handfasting, laughter, tears and your dog curled up at your feet
- A naming ceremony that feels like a love letter to your child
- A quiet, soulful ritual to honour a life transition that deserves to be witnessed
Why I Do This Work
Before I found celebrancy, I was a teacher, a writer, a seeker… someone who’s walked through many of life’s doorways. Some joyful, some painful, all transformational.
Ceremony was always part of my life, even when I didn’t have a word for it.
Now, I use everything I’ve learned to help others feel held in their own moments of change, celebration and becoming.
I Work with People Who...
- Break out in hives at the thought of a stiff, scripted ceremony.
- Feel something sacred but don’t have a label for it … and don’t need one.
- Crave meaning without the mush, and beauty that actually means something.
- Say “We’re terrible with words” but carry love stories worth remembering.
(And don’t worry. Helping you find the words is part of the magic.)
My Approach: Soulful, Story-Led, Sacred-but-Chilled
Every ceremony I create is:
Made-from-scratch magic No templates, no copy-paste … just something that feels so you.
Soulful and grounded Presence, ritual, and space for all the feelings.
A supported journey From “we’ve no idea what to say” to vows that leave everyone in tears (the good kind). Open-hearted and inclusive Whoever you are, whatever you believe … you belong here, exactly as you are.
You Don’t Need to Have It All Figured Out
You just need to know how you want it to feel.
I’ll help you build the rest.
Let’s Make Something Beautiful Together
If you’re dreaming of a ceremony that feels like home - real, meaningful, emotional, and unmistakably you - I’d be honoured to walk that path with you.
Now booking for 2026 weddings, naming ceremonies and threshold rituals across Northern Ireland, Ireland and beyond.
Let’s begin … gently.
