Orla McCarthy Celebrant

Orla McCarthy Celebrant I am a Celebrant/Solemniser based in Cork, who creates inclusive legal weddings, baby naming, vow renewals and funerals.

I am a registered Solemniser and Celebrant with Entheos and I provide inclusive legal weddings, funerals, baby welcoming and milestone ceremonies. Entheos are authentically inclusive and fit with my values and what I want to provide in the world of ceremony. People can include whatever they wish in their ceremony, whether they follow a particular faith path or not. It’s such a privilege to be part

of some of the biggest events to happen in people’s lives. I want to take the stress out of planning a ceremony and provide something that’s unique, personalised and truly memorable. I’m based in Cork, but I’m available to carry out ceremonies nationwide.

First date at Nando's. Wedding at The Greenhouse. Reception at The Kingsley. Isabel & Ryan - Cork brought you both here in 2001, and it took its sweet time introducing you, but what a story it's writing. 🤍

It was such a privilege to document this relaxed, joyful, family-filled day for you both. Congratulations!

I received the loveliest review after a baby naming I held recently. It was a pleasure to get to know this gorgeous family and hold a very special ceremony to celebrate the arrival of their baby with all their family and friends.

I was thrilled to get this lovely review from Ayisha and Caolàn, who I married recently at Fernhill House.

Saoirse and Thomas had their ceremony their way with a remembrance candle, unity candles and their personal love story.

Gorgeous music accompanied the ceremony by . The stunning flowers were by and Tara at Faithlegg was a pleasure to deal with.

Photographer on the day was who was a pleasure to work with and the shots I've seen so far are amazing.
