"The kindest people are not born that way, they are made. They are the ones that have experienced so much at the hands of life, they are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark, who have fought to turn every loss into a lesson. The kindest people do not just exist – they choose to soften where circumstance has tried to harden them, they choose to believe in goodness, because they have seen firsthand why compassion is so necessary. They have seen firsthand why tenderness is so important in this world."❤️
~ Bianca Sparacino
Love and Light,

Today marks 14 years since we performed the first Spiritual Ceremony. In that time we have been honored to have performed over 16,000 for couples and families across the island of Ireland. All of our celebrants pride themselves on the work that we do. We are very lucky to have such a dedicated group of celebrants who put their all into each ceremony that they do.

We have seen a landslide change in the demographic of ceremony types people choose to have for their wedding. Back in 2010, 69% of ceremonies were Roman Catholic, 29% Civil and 2% all other religions, of which we did 2 ceremonies. In 2023 34% of ceremonies were Roman Catholic, 32% Civil, Spiritual Ceremonies did 8% and all others made up 26%. We have been instrumental in this change, giving people an option to reflect themselves in their ceremony rather than be told how their ceremony can be done.

We performed the first legal outdoor wedding ceremony in 2011, we have been instrumental in a number of legislation changes, including the changing of the Civil Registrations Act and the defination of outdoor marriages. We strongly campaigned for equal right to marriage for all which saw the Marriage Referendum and Irelands strong backing for this equality. We performed the first same s*x marriage in Ulster when the legislation was passed in 2015.

But most of all we have been given the utmost responsibility of performing ceremonies for couples and families all over the island of Ireland. Our celebrants put their all into the ceremonies they perform, whether its a wedding, naming ceremony, vow renewal or a celebration of life.

So to all who have entrusted us with their ceremony or a ceremony for one of their loved ones over the past 14 years, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
