Wedding Celebrant (2026)

Wedding Celebrant (2026)

Your wedding ceremony should feel like **you**, not like something you have heard at a dozen other weddings.

As a fully qualified FuturFaith celebrant and legal solemniser, I create warm, relaxed and completely bespoke wedding ceremonies, written from scratch around you, your personalities and your story.

FuturFaith offers an inclusive approach that embraces and respects all faiths, mixed faiths, semi faith and no faith. That means we can create a ceremony that reflects what actually matters to you both, whether you want something modern, traditional, meaningful, funny, emotional, completely non religious or a mixture of different elements.

There is no bank of standard scripts with your names dropped into the gaps. I take time to really get to know you, finding the stories, personalities and little details that make your relationship yours, and turn those into a ceremony that your guests could only ever recognise as belonging to the two of you.

Your ceremony can also include personal vows, readings, music and meaningful ceremony elements such as handfasting, unity candles, ring warming, sand ceremonies or a quaich. We will work together to create something that feels right for you rather than including traditions simply because weddings are “supposed” to have them.

And importantly, your ceremony can be **legally binding**. I am authorised to legally solemnise marriages across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, meaning you can have the personal ceremony you actually want while taking care of the legal marriage at the same time.

From our first conversations through to standing together on your wedding day, I’ll guide you through the whole ceremony process so you never have to wonder what happens next or what you are supposed to do.

The result? A ceremony that feels relaxed, personal, meaningful and genuinely yours, with plenty of room for laughter along the way.

Travel costs may apply depending on the location of your wedding.

Wedding Photography - The Signature (2026/27)

Wedding Photography - The Signature (2026/27)

If you love the idea of having the same person who creates and delivers your ceremony also capture the story of your wedding day, you can add one of my **Wedding Photography packages** to your celebrant booking.

As your celebrant, I’ll already have spent time getting to know you both, hearing your stories, understanding your personalities and learning about the people and moments that matter to you. That creates a connection that naturally carries over into your photography.

By the time your wedding arrives, I’m not simply another supplier turning up with a camera. We already know each other, you know how I work and I know what matters to you.

My photography style is relaxed, natural and people focused, with gentle direction when you need it and plenty of space for you to actually enjoy your wedding. I’m looking for the laughter, reactions, relationships and little moments happening around you, as well as creating the photographs you know you want.

And don't worry, I haven't worked out how to conduct your ceremony and photograph it at the same time!

When you book me for both services, a second professional photographer covers the latter part of your preparations and your ceremony while I concentrate on the small matter of getting you married. Once the ceremony is complete, I pick up my cameras again and continue photographing your day.

Choose from **Short & Sweet**, with two hours of photography, **The Highlights**, with three hours, or **The Signature**, with coverage from preparations at one location through to dinner call. Evening coverage can also be added if you want those dramatic night portraits, first dance and the start of the party captured too.

Every photograph in your final gallery is personally selected and edited by me. I don't use AI to decide which moments from your wedding make the final cut. I go through your images myself, choosing the expressions, interactions and little in between moments that help tell the story of your day before individually editing your final selection in my own style.

**One person getting to know your story. Two different ways of telling it.**

    Where to start… Caroline was our Celebrant, and she was utterly brilliant. I recommend her so highly.
    She took such care and interest in understanding our story and what mattered most to us. She was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process, which was especially important as we were on tight timelines. She guided us through the legal process very easily. And on the day itself she was professional, down to earth, and completely herself, which put us at ease.
    The questionnaire she shared with us beforehand was really well designed, and going through it was pretty much the highlight of our whole wedding preparations. And along with all this she was so warm throughout everything which honestly made what could have been so stressful, a real privilege and a shared journey. Thank you Caroline!

      Honestly, thank you so much for this – it means more than I can say.
      I absolutely loved getting to know you both and hearing your story. Creating your ceremony at Magheramorne Estate was such a special experience, and I’m so glad it felt personal and true to you.
      You were an absolute dream to work with, even with the tighter timeline, and I’m really happy I could make the legal side of getting married in Northern Ireland feel straightforward and stress-free for you. That part can feel like a lot, so it’s always important to me that couples feel supported every step of the way.
      And I have to say… hearing that the questionnaire was a highlight of your wedding prep has made my day. That’s exactly why I do things the way I do, so it feels like more than just planning a ceremony, but a meaningful part of your whole journey.
      Thank you again for trusting me to be your wedding celebrant – it was such a privilege to stand with you both at Magheramorne Estate and share in such an important moment.

    Caroline is not only an amazing celebrant but just an amazing person. We first met her photographing our son’s newborn photos and it was so special to have her complete our family on our wedding day. Our ceremony was so heartfelt and personal and just couldn’t have been more us. There were many tears and many laughs and overall just amazing

    We were lucky to have both our wedding photos and our ceremony done by Caroline and I cannot recommend her enough! Our ceremony was so beautifully and clearly written just for us, and our photographs are truly amazing! Caroline is so good at expressing the uniqueness of each couple through her photos, and every single one is stunning💜 10/10
