Ceremonies for life’s most meaningful moments
Ceremonies that sound like you - not a script
Every love story, every family, every farewell deserves to be honoured in a way that feels personal and real. As a registered celebrant and solemniser, I’ll guide you through every step - legal or symbolic to create a ceremony that’s heartfelt, inclusive and beautifully you. Based in County Louth, I work with couples and families across Ireland and Northern Ireland - from Dublin to Donegal, from Belfast to the Boyne Valley and everywhere in between.
Marking life’s milestones with meaning
Personalised Ceremonies, Crafted for You
My name is Karen O’Beirne and I’m a Registered Solemniser & Celebrant offering bespoke, meaningful ceremonies to mark life’s most important moments. From weddings and vow renewals to baby namings and celebrations of life, it’s my privilege to create ceremonies that reflect your story, your values and your wishes. Each ceremony is written from scratch so no templates or clichés - just something that feels deeply personal, authentic and timeless. Based in the heart of County Louth, I’m honoured to officiate ceremonies across the island of Ireland, ensuring each one is delivered with warmth, professionalism and care.
Personalised Legal Weddings
Your love, your story - legally recognised and beautifully told.
Your wedding is more than a legal event — it’s the celebration of your unique love story.
As a registered solemniser, I create personalised legal wedding ceremonies that are as meaningful and individual as you are.
Whether you dream of a romantic outdoor ceremony, an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I’ll work closely with you to craft something that reflects your love, your journey and your vision for the future.
Same Sex Weddings
Love is love - always and everywhere.
Your wedding day should be a true reflection of the love you share.
I’m proud to create personalised same-sex wedding ceremonies that honour your story, your values and your commitment to one another.
Whether you envision something intimate, joyful, traditional or modern, I’ll work with you to craft a ceremony that celebrates your love with authenticity, equality and pride.
Inter-Faith Weddings
Two traditions, one love.
Love knows no boundaries. For many couples, marriage is a beautiful blending of different faiths, cultures or beliefs.
As your celebrant, I’ll help you weave together elements from both backgrounds - prayers, readings or rituals into one harmonious ceremony that feels balanced, respectful and deeply personal.
Your ceremony can honour each tradition or focus on the shared values that unite you.
The result? A celebration filled with meaning, connection and joy.
Elopements
Just you, me, and the moment.
For couples who want to skip the fuss and focus purely on each other, an elopement is the perfect way to say “I do” in a way that’s intimate, personal and full of meaning.
Whether it’s a quiet moment on a windswept beach, a mountaintop exchange, or a simple ceremony with just the two of you, I’ll help you create an elopement that feels true to your love story - legal, heartfelt and unforgettable.
Commitment Ceremony
Promises from the heart without the paperwork.
A Commitment Ceremony is a personal, meaningful way to celebrate your love and lifelong promise to one another without the legal formality of marriage.
Together, we’ll design a ceremony that includes your vows, readings, rituals and music - all chosen to reflect your bond and your shared values.
Vow Renewals
Because love only grows stronger with time.
A vow renewal is a beautiful way to reflect on your journey together - the milestones, the laughter, the challenges and the love that continues to deepen.
Whether you’re marking a special anniversary, celebrating a new chapter or simply wanting to say “I’d choose you all over again,” I’ll help you craft a ceremony that feels heartfelt, joyful and full of gratitude.
Baby Naming Ceremony
Welcoming new life with love and belonging.
A Baby Naming Ceremony is a joyful celebration of new life, family and connection.
Whether you’re naming a newborn, marking an adoption or blending families, this ceremony can include promises, readings, blessings or symbolic rituals that express your hopes for the child’s future.
Together, we’ll create a ceremony that reflects your love, your values and your child’s unique place in the world.
Funeral and Celebration of Life Ceremonies
Honouring lives, cherishing memories.
Saying goodbye is never easy, but a meaningful ceremony can bring comfort, connection and peace.
I work closely with families to create personalised funerals and celebration of life ceremonies that reflect the true spirit of your loved one - their story, values and the legacy they leave behind.
With care, compassion and respect, I’ll help you create a farewell that offers space for both grief and gratitude, honouring a life well-lived.
