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'm so grateful for everyone who takes the time to write a review. Thanks to Saoirse & Thomas who I married in the stunning for this lovely review. The greatest compliment I can receive is when a couple say the ceremony truly reflected who they are.

A few of the gorgeous professional photos from the wedding of Vera and Sean in September.

We were very lucky with the weather for an outside ceremony at the end of September.They included a Bulgarian tradition of "breaking the bread" during the ceremony, which was a first for me and a lovely tradition to include.

I was delighted to receive this review from Sean and Vera after their wedding in September. We had gorgeous weather for an outside ceremony at the end of September in the stunning .

A helicopter unexpectedly landing and taking off right in the middle of the ceremony brought some extra humour.

Congrats again Sean & Vera.

I love a Christmas wedding as I got married in December myself. Last weekend the wedding of Saoirse and Thomas had all the Christmas feels at the stunning in Waterford.

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.

Congrats again Saoirse and Thomas.
