About this officiant

With over nine years of experience and over 240 5-star reviews, I’ve had the honour of crafting and delivering hundreds of bespoke ceremonies.

I’m passionate about travelling worldwide to conduct your unique, unforgettable celebration.

I began my journey as a celebrant, and after two years of rigorous training, I then proudly became a legally registered solemniser, allowing me to perform legally binding weddings. This progression has deepened my commitment to creating unforgettable, personalised ceremonies, from weddings and vow renewals to baby-namings and funerals.

Growing up in a small-town Irish family as the eldest of five, I’ve always been curious about people and their stories.

My own journey has been shaped by personal challenges, including fertility struggles and life-threatening illnesses that deepened my connection to the spiritual side of life. These experiences have given me a profound empathy and understanding, allowing me to bring even more depth to the ceremonies I lead.

Since becoming a FuturFaith Minister, I’ve found even greater purpose in celebrating love, life, and connection. Despite setbacks like open-heart surgery, my faith and passion for ceremony have only strengthened, and I continue to offer support and solace through my work.

Joe & Michaela

If you are coming to Ireland for vacation and plan to get married or renew your wedding vows, I highly recommend Rev Lorraine! She is so passionate and caring, and making sure that your ceremony is a wonderful experience. Her team are top notch. We loved Michael who picked us up at the train station in Dundalk and delivered us to the Cu' Chulainn castle tower for our ceremony. We had a traditional hand-fasting ceremony! There was only one choice for us and that was Rev Lorraine! Please take my word when I say you will not be disappointed!

We had the honour of having Lorraine being the Celebrant on our wedding day, Lorraine was absolutely fantastic, Lorraine greeted me before heading into our ceremony and instantly made me feel calm and relaxed, from start to finish Lorraine was fantastic and our ceremony was super personal, upbeat and moving, Lorraine really listened and understood exactly what we wanted and most certainly delivered, from the very start to the wedding day Lorraine was a pleasure to deal with, we highly recommend Lorraine, and can’t thank her enough for everything.

Michelle & Stephen

Thank you Lorraine, Keith and Conor at Celebrant Ireland for the wedding ceremony of our dreams. From the start we knew we were in very safe hands with the team's experience, attention to detail and the passion Lorraine has as celebrant, but we were not prepared for exactly how amazingly perfect everything was on the day. It was like something out of a fairytale. We were both very nervous but Lorraine kept us calm and made sure our ceremony was perfect. All of out friends and family remarked at how lovely and personal it was, there were plenty of tears, but tears of joy! A lot of them said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We cannot recommend Lorraine and the Celebrant Ireland team enough, thank you so so much for making our day so very special. Michelle & Stephen.

Rachel & Johnny

We feel so lucky to have found Lorraine McCarthy from Celebrant Ireland. Lorraine brought us on a journey which led to the most beautiful wedding ceremony we have could ask for! Lorraine was so efficient and responsive and made the entire process very easy for us. After responding to Lorraine’s questions, she created the most perfect ceremony including a stunning opening ministers address – we will treasure this forever. On the day Lorraine delivered the ceremony beautifully – her words will resonate with us and we know that this day would not have been so special were it not for Lorraine. Also, a very big thank you to Keith, Conor and Michael who all played very special parts in the ceremony on the day, we will forever remember your kindness and professionalism. Johnny and Rachel
