Celebrate Love MULTI AWARD WINNING CELEBRANT and Solemniser ��

Creatively writes and delivers unique ceremonies ❤️

My name is Áine Mckenna nd I am a multi award winning; Celebrant & Solemniser (HSE registered) based in Blacrock, Co Louth. I am truly passionate about delivering a memorable and heartfelt ceremony, reflecting your journey and beliefs. I also specialise in traditional Celtic ceremonies such as Handfasting and ring warming. Whether it is the exciting threshold of marriage, the nervous anticipation of becoming parents, or the celebration of an important milestone it is my honour and privilege to officiate those rites of passage which are sacred and most deserving of our attention. I look forward to working with you to claim the ceremony that most deeply reflects you and your values- it being Non-Religious, Semi-Religious, Mixed Faith or Spiritual. Each ceremony is personalized to reflect your unique love story. I take great pride in ensuring your wedding day is unforgettable. As an Irish Celebrant, I operate mainly in Louth and the surrounding areas in Leinster, Ireland; including but not limited to Dublin, Meath, Kildare, and Cavan. I am equally happy to travel throughout Ireland; please inquire for further details

Rebecca and Luke got married at Killyon Manor in late July, with family and friends who flew in from the US to be there.

They chose two unity rituals for their ceremony. A salt ceremony, where they each poured salt into one shared vessel, a quieter alternative to the usual sand ceremony, and once mixed, impossible to ever pull apart again. And a ring warming, where their rings were passed hand to hand through everyone there before the ceremony even began, each person adding a quiet wish of their own.

Rebecca wrote to me afterwards that it was "an unforgettable experience and a truly perfect day."

Thank you both, and to everyone who travelled so far to be there.

Sarah and Paul got married in 2021.

*Last* weekend, I named their second child, Senan, at Luttrelstown Golf Club. I named their daughter Maebh a few years before that too.

Three ceremonies, one family, and I still get the same rush every time I stand in front of them.

They wrote this afterwards:

"She has a wonderful ability to make every ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful, and she is a brilliant storyteller."

Sarah and Paul, thank you for trusting me with three of the biggest days in your family's story so far 🤍

Throwing it right back ✨️

Aoife and Amar got married in December 2019, and from our first conversation I knew this ceremony needed to hold two cultures properly, not just nod to one.

Amar's family is from Mauritius, and Hindu tradition mattered to both of them going in. So I went away and researched the crossovers. Lighting one wedding candle became lighting seven, echoing the seven vows of a Hindu wedding. We added a hand fastening too, since binding hands together carries that same meaning, and it meant their children could take part, with their girls adding the ribbons.

Aoife told me afterwards it was through getting those details right that they ended up with a proper fusion of both sides of their story, neither one diluted for the other.

"Thank you so much Áine for giving us the ceremony we wanted and more."

Thank you both for trusting me with something this personal 🤍

A recent wedding at for Liam and Dylan left me with ALL the feels. 🥹

I absolutely loved being part of their day, and it means so much when couples take the time afterwards to leave such a lovely message. 📨❤️

Thank you, lads — you were an absolute joy!

"We don't want it to sound like a wedding. We want it to sound like us."

So that's exactly what I did.

There were tears, laughter, and a moment mid-ceremony when Chandler laughed so hard at one particular shared anecdote. Rachel didn't even try to hide that she was delighted.

This is my favourite part of the job. When a ceremony sounds so much like a couple that their guests could have written it themselves.

Eoin & Noel chose something beautiful and simple — a winter celebration in Ghan House surrounded only by their closest family and friends.

One of the loveliest parts of the day was seeing Noel’s daughter woven so naturally into the ceremony — not as a guest to the moment, but as part of the story itself.

There was laughter, quiet moments, meaningful rituals and so much love in the room.

A reminder that weddings don’t need hundreds of people to feel full — sometimes the smallest gatherings leave the biggest mark.

Thank you both for letting me stand beside you on such an important day 🤍
