About this officiant

I’m a FuturFaith Minister and a registered HSE solemniser based in Castlegregory, West Kerry - overlooking the Atlantic and close to the beautiful Ring of Kerry. I decided to become a celebrant after attending my son’s wedding, where I was completely blown away by the relaxed, personal feel of the ceremony.

I’m warm, loving, and relaxed, with a great sense of humour. I like to think of myself as the wise old owl - not much can faze me after the challenges I’ve faced in life. I’m genuinely excited to meet couples and feel privileged to share in planning their wedding, renewal of vows, or naming ceremony for their new arrival.

Having experienced deep personal loss and bereavement, I bring great empathy and compassion when supporting families as they say goodbye to their loved ones. I’m also a proud mama of two gay children, and one of the greatest moments of my life was co-officiating my daughter’s wedding last year alongside her mother-in-law.

My background is in the civil service, where I worked in the court services and dealt with the public for over twenty years - until my health reached a crisis point. The road back was long and lonely, but it led to some life-changing decisions. I went on to train in acupuncture and alternative therapies, which I’ve now been practising for the past twenty years.

I’m a creative and artistic soul who loves connecting with people, writing, and performing - and I’ve even been known to share the odd funny recitation in my local pub! I’ll do everything in my power to make your ceremony truly special and to ensure it’s Your Day, Your Way in every possible sense.

Kelly & Tom

Just want to re-iterate how much we loved what she did for our ceremony; it was the talk of guests for the entire weekend!! They couldn't get over how lovely it was compared to say a traditional church ceremony, she truly did a wonderful job.

Kerry & Moe

Oh my goodness, I can't thank Eithne enough for the wonderful ceremony she wrote for Moe and I. It meant so much to us. And most of all, I can't thank her enough for sticking it out in the rain with us. She must think we're crazy! But she truly helped make the day a dream come true for us. And she did it all with a smile on her face the whole time, despite the challenging weather. I'm sorry we didn't have the chance to chat more - it was such a pleasure meeting her. Thanks to her a million times over.

Eithne was so helpful in trying to plan a surprise blessing from the US. I found her only two weeks before our trip. She was willing to travel and took care of every detail for us. It was very personal and touching! I could not have asked for it to have turned out better.

Gary & Christina

Eithne, thank you so much for your kindness and your thoughtful participation on our wedding day. We feel so fortunate that our paths crossed. You're genuine nature is a rare commodity these days. You will always be a wonderful moment of our lives forever.

Cory & Elizabeth

I cannot rave enough about Eithne and the ceremony she put together for us. My wife and I had planned a destination wedding to Ireland for our dream ceremony. At our planner's suggestion we decided on Eithne to officiate our wedding. Eithne was warm, inviting, comfortable and completely at ease with our suggestions. She put together an absolutely beautiful hand-fasting ceremony, as well as incorporating many of our personal touches. Eithne did an excellent job getting to know my wife and I, given all communication before the ceremony was done via email. She made sure to include so many personal details of our families, our history and our future. Eithne has such a warm light and positive presence that she brings with her, and it shows when she is in her element. When you meet her, you feel as though you are catching up with an old friend. We cannot thank her enough for the care, time and patience she put in to making our wedding ceremony beautiful. Thank you a million times Eithne!

Sally & Joe

Eithne, thank you so much for the lovely Baby Naming ceremony you did for our son Noah. It was so personal and special and being able to have it in our own back garden was absolutely fantastic especially as my nana was able to attend in her wheelchair. I loved the way you included our two moms in the readings. And the sand blending ceremony was so special; being able to have our two daughters involved in it was fantastic and they love to be included. Everyone was talking about it afterwards, thanks again.
