I’m Orla, your Cork based full-time Celebrant and Solemniser with Entheos.  I am committed to creating heartfelt and inclusive ceremonies that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments, 7 days a week.

Originally from Tipperary, I now call the countryside outside Cork city home, where I live with my husband and young son. My son, who is autistic, has taught me a whole new way of viewing the world, when I view it through his eyes.

Before becoming a Celebrant, I spent many years working with multinational companies in Ireland and abroad, specialising in employer branding and recruitment. Living abroad in diverse cultures has helped me develop a broader understanding of the world and a great appreciation for different perspectives. I bring that open mindset to all my ceremonies and provide what people really want, without any constraints.

Available 7 days a week for:

WEDDINGS

NAMING
CEREMONIES

VOW
RENEWALS

FUNERALS

  • Yes I can. I am a HSE Registered Solemniser with Entheos and I am can legally solemnise your marriage 7 days a week.

  • People can include whatever they wish in their ceremony, whether they follow a particular faith path or not. Therefore, Entheos is listed on the HSE register as religious (non-denominational), allowing the freedom to include religious content for those who would like to and none for those who don’t.

  • The only part that I must include to make the ceremony legal, is that you agree “to accept each other as spouse” and that “you do not know of any impediment to the marriage”. The Marriage Referendum Form (“Green Folder”) is also signed on the day.

  • In Ireland, all couples must register their Intent to Marry with the HSE Civil Registration Service, no less than 3 months before their wedding date. You must both attend an in-person meeting, where you bring along the necessary documentation. You will then be given your Marriage Registration Form (MRF) in a green folder, which you will bring with you on your wedding day. This is signed during your ceremony, and it is then your responsibility to return it to the HSE Civil Registration office within 30 days of your ceremony and they will issue your marriage certificate.  

  • Yes, absolutely. I will write and deliver your personalised wedding ceremony, including any ceremony enhancements, and just omit the legal parts.
