Five Star Review

I was thrilled with this fantastic review after Aodhla’s beautiful Naming Ceremony recently. It means the world to me that the ceremonies I do are meaningful for people. Thank you very much, Shauna.#humanistbabynaming #babynamingceremony #irishnames #babynames #welcometotheworld #humanism

Humanist Baby Naming

We were in Cahir for the beautiful Humanist Naming Ceremony precious baby Aodhla. Her parents lit a candle standing in a handcrafted ice candlestick. Her parents and guide-parents made promises to support and love her as she journeys through the world. It was a wonderful celebration! ❤️ #humanistbabynaming #babynamingceremony #namingceremony #parents #baby #family #celebration #name #welcometotheworld #babylaunching

Bye Betsy

It’s with very heavy hearts that we said goodbye to Betsy after 15 fun filled years. We learned so much about DIY converting her from an ambulance back in the day and also learned loads about patience with our more than fair share of non-starts and breakdowns over the years. We always had so much craic though! If that camper van could talk, we’d all be in trouble! Amazing memories were made! #campervan #campervanconversion #campervancraic #sayinggoodbye #thanksforthememories

Wonderful Wedding

Shane and Ruth got hitched in the Cow Shed at the amazing Farmers Market at Mountain View Kilkenny in Ballyhale on Saturday. It was such a warm ceremony, full of laughter and with a few tears. Ruth and Shane incorporated the Handfasting and Unity Candle rituals and sealed the deal by sharing a drink from the Quaich. I’m not saying he was the start of the show, but Buster their trusted bulldog, assisted by Clare, was the very handsome ring bearer.Sound was provided by Jim at SMARTEK and photos were taken by @alanrochephotography.#wedding #gettinghitched #legallywed #wedinthecowshed #sayido #gettingmarried #happilymarried #humanistwedding #happycouple

Ceasefire Now

40,000 people murdered by this terrori$t regime. The genoc!de continues. Don’t stop talking, marching or boycotting. We can’t give up on the people of Palestine! 🇵🇸#solidarity #ceasefirenow🇵🇸

In glorious sunshine at the Boathouse in @sheenfalls we celebrated the wedding of Ciaràn and Katie. Such a warm, fun couple surrounded by the most precious people. It was beautiful. The harp was played by @jeanwallacemusic and @nick_cavanagh_photography was behind the camera. #kerrywedding #handfasting #handfastingceremony #weddingvows #humanist #humanism #ido #wedding

Wedding in Crosshaven

We had a really beautiful celebration yesterday in the stunning @crosshavenhouse for the wedding of Deborah and David. The gorgeous couple included the Unity Candle and Handfasting rituals and when they declared their personal vows to each other, there wasn’t a dry eye in the garden. It was an amazing day thanks to to a wonderful team put together by @debfunches and David.Photographer @white_cat_studio Videographer @byfabianboros Artist @art_rasmusjulius Catering @orla_mcandrew_food Flowers @howehillflowers Wedding Planners @turretstairevents #humanistwedding #happilyeverafter #ido #corkwedding #weddingcelebrant #brideandgroom #weddingireland #weddingvows #legalwedding #outdoorwedding #family

Happy Cork Pride!

Happy Cork Pride!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️#pride2024 #Pride #corkpride #loveislove🌈 #lgbtq🌈

I got this lovely review last week. I was really heartened to hear that even the most reluctant grandmother was delighted with the Naming Ceremony in the end. Humanist Naming Ceremonies are not anti-religious, they are just not religious. Everybody is welcome as long as they come to celebrate the child and show their support for the family. I really love my job and know that it is changing hearts and minds. #namingceremony #babynames #humanist #nonreligious #family #inclusive #welcometotheworld #baby #familycelebration #review #reviews #thankyou

West Cork Wedding

Frank and Olivia were married on a beautiful West Cork afternoon in @innishannonhouse surrounded by friends and family who traveled from the four corners of the world. Our bride walked in to this beautiful music showing her support for Palestine. (She also wore a gorgeous Palestinian dress). It was a really special, simple ceremony celebrating the mixing of their Spanish and Irish backgrounds. #westcorkwedding #humanistwedding #weddingceremony #legalwedding #nonreligiouswedding #palestine #twoculturesonelove #justmarried

Brian &Yvonne

Brian and Yvonne had a beautiful wedding ceremony with their family at Charles Fort . We gathered in the Gunpowder Magazine for Hand Fasting and exchanging of vows. There were many laughs, a few tears and buckets of love. It was a really special occasion. Órlaith Ní Challanáin play some beautiful cello music and our amazing photographer was @carriedugganphoto. Thanks to Karen and the OPW staff at Charlesfort for looking after us so well. #humanistwedding #kinsale #corkwedding #weddingvenue #weddinginspo #secularwedding #legalwedding #humanistcelebrant #family

Ruarc’s Naming Ceremony

Springfort Hall hosted our Naming Ceremony for the beautiful Ruarc. We had a beautiful Sand Ceremony and gathered lovely memories and messages for Ruarc in her Time Capsule and on her Memory Tree. It was such a joyful occasion! #memorytree #timecapsule #sandceremony #namingday #irishnames #humanistceremony #family #babynaming

Julie and Shane

We had a wonderful day at Julie and Shane’s wedding at the weekend. They used sand from three local beaches and from their daughter’s sand pit for a really moving Sand Ceremony. Such a gorgeous couple and beautiful family! Congratulations to you both!
