Karen Cassidy

Greeting from across the pond! My wife and I decided on a whim to scrap our initial plans of getting married in Santa Fe, New Mexico USA to Ireland. We knew we would need a celebrant to help with our ceremony Ireland and we reached out to Karen after finding her via Google. We couldn't have asked to a most wonderful celebrant. Even though we were in the USA, the communication and coordination was seamless. Our ceremony was held at Kinbane Castle, it was so perfect and magical. Karen went above and beyond to make it so. We are eternally grateful for Karen!

I can’t stress how beautiful Karen’s energy is. Her presence is warm, grounding, and bubbling with magic. She is thoughtful and puts so much love and care into her ceremonies. My wife and I were so blessed to have her as our celebrant. 💞

Karen was such a lovely celebrant, she made our little man's naming ceremony so special, I had lots of questions and she was so helpful and answered everything, was a great help with everything and would highly recommend her as a celebrant.

Karen did our little one's naming ceremony. We weren’t sure what exactly we wanted but Karen helped us create the perfect day. She took time to get to know us and made the ceremony personal. Karen was always full of enthusiasm and really understood what the ceremony meant to us. Our friends and family all commented on how nice the ceremony was. It really was perfect.

Karen made our day very special. There was a special feel to our celebration as soon as we booked Karen as our Celebrant. Each detail was talked over and our requests listened to, they were often expanded to improve the desired outcome. We knew what we had to do to bring our thoughts and feelings to our ceremony. It was so great that we had so much input into the day we wanted. On the day of our ceremony it was relaxed and spiritual with all of our family being part of our day. We had very special moments with a few tears and a few laughs while Karen held the space for us to acknowledge our love for each other so beautifully. Thank you Karen ❤️❤️

Karen was exceptional. Right from the start she came to meet us and was very interested in us as a couple, our friends and family and the way we imagined the service and day to be. She was always readily contactable and very kind. The service was really personal and special, and our guests kept commenting on how lovely the ceremony was. Would recommend Karen for any wedding, she was fantastic. Thank you Karen!

What can I say about Karen. She was the perfect person to carry out our wedding ceremony. She is such a lovely kind person and from the very start we just clicked. I just knew she was going to give us a beautiful ceremony. Karen gave us so many beautiful and wonderful ideas for our wedding ceremony and she listened to everything that we wanted as well. Our wedding ceremony was so beautiful, fun, emotional and just exactly how we wanted it. Karens laid back and kind nature was just exactly what we wanted and I would highly recommend hiring her for your wedding ceremony. You won't regret it!

We recommend Karen wholeheartedly. We got to know about Karen through family friends who recommended her as a celebrant very enthusiastically. Karen is a deeply intuitive and experienced guide into this whole ceremony thing. We didn’t really know what to expect from this kind of service but we were blown away or rather blown open by the experience. Karen meticulously prepared and structured the ceremony, she made sure we were 100 percent ready a few days before the day. The ceremony itself was beautiful and so moving. Many of our ceremony’s attendees later told us it was the most authentic and loving service they had been to. We felt blessed to get to know Karen over multiple meetings and felt her to truly listen to our wishes. She prepared scents, scripts and facilitated an environment of acceptance and trust. She also involved our children in the ceremony, and blended our family which was so special. We feel grateful that we did this and very wholesomely happy we had Karen by our side. I can assure anyone that Karen puts many many hours into the preparation of a hand fasting ceremony, there was a lot of behind the scene work put in that I would not have known about previous to doing this kind of ceremony. We felt that she really cared about our union and she strived to make the ceremony truly reflect our relationship. Another thing we did with Karen before our hand fasting ceremony was a house blessing. The experience was very unique and healing. The advantage to doing the house blessing before the hand fasting was it gave us more bonding time with Karen, and our home space was more ready for the whole family’s new beginning before our ceremony. Thank you Karen for giving us so many powerful and special moments we will hold in our memories.

Me and my husband John were celebrating our Silver Wedding and we wanted to renew our vows. I had heard about Sacred Ceremonies and knew Karen so I rang Karen and she came to our home for a Consultation. Karen was so warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her she gave us some great ideas and explained everything. We had a wee hiccup with our venue and Karen was on the phone straight away to sort it out. She was so professional. We had a rehearsal the day before to make sure everything was in place.



I could almost insist that you consider Karen to be your celebrant for ceremonies and gatherings. Not only is she professional and understanding, but she has an attention to detail and is thoughtful of the needs of her clients. Our 10 year vow renewal was extra special and it comes through on our photos.
