Gillian Moses Independent Celebrant offering unique, joyful, bespoke Weddings & Vow Renewal Ceremonies

Let’s celebrate your heart connection

“A great marriage is not when the perfect couple comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” – Dave Meurer

Because every couple is unique it goes without saying that there needs to be choice when it comes to planning the ceremony that is right for you.  The packages on offer with me will help you start planning your beautiful day and remember, you can always ask for something else.  Shy bairns get nowt, as my granny used to say.

The Ceremony is the most important part of the wedding celebrations for couples that choose me as their Celebrant.  They realise that the legal marriage is a simple administrative procedure that involves the two of them and two witnesses attending an appointment with a registrar.  This can be done before or after the Wedding Ceremony with me, or not at all if marriage is not important to you.  I can give you advice about getting legally married or you can read about it HERE

My couples love the freedom of choosing non-licensed venues for their occasion.  Because we’re not completing a legal marriage, we have the freedom to roam.  (I apply for permission to use public spaces).

All my packages include as standard –

  • Detailed booking forms that give you the opportunity to tell me absolutely EVERYTHING about your love story…because the more YOU give, the more I give you back in your Ceremony.
  • Permissions sought for Ceremonies in public spaces.
  • Access to phone calls and messages so we can keep each other up to date about your wedding plans.
  • Support to choose the perfect poems and readings for your Ceremony
  • A personal and professional service, both in the planning and the delivery of your Ceremony.

Weddings From €595

“A great marriage is not when the perfect couple comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” – Dave Meurer

And because we’re all different, it is really important to me that I take time to get to know you both so that I can create an absolutely unique Ceremony that reflects you as individuals and as a couple.

I love a bit of wildness, I love nature and the woods, I love quirky – my own wedding was a masked cocktail party with karaoke at home in the garden!  How do you want to celebrate your love?  Your dreams are in safe hands.    

Vow Renewal

From €595

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”

– Mignon McLaughlin

Let’s be honest, the commitment of marriage is not always easy, so a Vow Renewal Ceremony is a wonderful way to give yourselves the gift of thanks and appreciation for the years of married life you have enjoyed (and at times survived) so far.  Reaffirm the commitment you made to one another on your wedding day, voice out loud those promises of love you made the day you tied the knot.  You can include a Symbolic Ritual as part of the Ceremony and make this another beautiful day to remember with your family and friends.
