What you need to Know

If you want to  Elope to Ireland, or having a Destination Wedding,
and you have already said your “I do’s” legally at home , and
would like to celebrate in style here, in Ireland,  there are
NO legal restrictions to having an Independent Celebrant
(like me) officiate at your special day.

What to do If you are and Irish Citizen? 

• you will register with your local  HSE office at least 3 months
  in advance,  to give notice of your  “intention to marry”.
• The registration fee is €200. 
• This is a one-off fee , which also covers the cost of the 2nd visit
  to the HSE registrar to sign your “Marriage Registration Form”
  (legalising your marriage)
• you can sign these forms and be legally married in 6 minutes
  – the length of the normal HSE Service.
• or if you prefer……..  you can sign the forms in your local HSE office and
  continue with a more personalized wedding, completely
  organised by yourself, according to your preference, values, belief’s ……..

THE BENEFITS OF USING AN
INDEPENDENT WEDDING CELEBRANT ARE:

• • The HSE Registrar does not offer Saturday or Sunday ceremonies,
    only Monday to Friday. 

• • “off-site” option may be  restricted by both appointment time and
    location regulations,

• • Booking with an Independent Wedding Celebrant, there are literally
    No Restrictions  for dates, times or locations.

• You are completely FREE to decide for yourself.
