Personal Wedding Ceremonies Across Ireland
Relaxed, meaningful and completely tailored ceremonies that tell your story — not a script.
Hey, I’m Tom
Your ceremony should feel like one of the most genuine parts of your wedding day — not something you have to sit through.
That’s where I come in.
I’m a wedding celebrant in Ireland creating personal, story-driven ceremonies that feel relaxed, natural, and completely you.

What Makes Me Different
Most wedding ceremonies follow a format.
Mine don’t.
I take the time to get to know you properly — your story, your personalities, and what matters most — and build a ceremony around that.
The result?
- A ceremony your guests are actually engaged in
- A moment that feels real, not staged
- Something you’ll genuinely remember

By now after scrolling, you’ll hopefully remember that I’m Tom, a professional wedding celebrant based in Ireland.
I specialise in creating relaxed, meaningful ceremonies that feel completely natural — whether that’s heartfelt, humorous, or somewhere in between.
No templates. No awkward moments. Just a ceremony that feels like you.

We couldn’t recommend Tom enough. He was excellent throughout the day and made us both feel so comfortable. He made the ceremony exactly what we wanted and delivered it perfectly. He was a joy to have around on our wedding day.

Fantastic
Tom did the most perfect job for our wedding. He was the professional, warm and so funny just at the right moments. He offered fantastic insight into what would flow nicely in our ceremony. Couldn’t recommend Tom enough!

Absolutely Outstanding
I had quite a long wish list when it came to what I wanted our celebrant to be like on our wedding day, and Tom ticked every single box, and then some! From the very beginning, he made us feel completely at ease and took the time to really understand us as a couple. He brought the perfect balance of warmth, humour and sincerity to our ceremony, making it feel so personal and special to us. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and feel so lucky to have had Tom be such a special part of our day. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for someone who will make their ceremony truly unforgettable! Thank you for everything Tom

A brilliant wedding ceremony
“We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant for our wedding. From the very beginning, his energy was fantastic, and he kept our guests engaged and entertained through the entire ceremony. He has an amazing ability to hold the room’s attention, yet he somehow makes everything feel incredibly personal and intimate. By the end, it truly felt like we had gained a friend rather than just hiring an officiant.”. We would highly recommend Thomas

The perfect Celebrant for our special day.
We honestly cannot recommend Tom highly enough. He was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and played such a huge part in making our wedding ceremony so incredibly special.
We met Tom beforehand to go through everything, and from the very beginning he was such a lovely, warm and genuine person. He took the time to get to know us and understand exactly what we wanted from our ceremony, and he made us feel completely at ease.
The ceremony itself was absolutely beautiful. It was intimate, personal and humorous, with so many special touches that made it truly ours. We included a Unity candle, Memorial candle to remember past loved ones, and the Irish tradition of Hand fasting, which was just beautiful and incredibly meaningful to us.
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the ceremony afterwards. We had family and friends travelling over from England to join our Irish family and friends, and people from both sides said they had never experienced a wedding ceremony quite like it. Everyone commented on how warm, personal and beautifully conducted it was.
As a bride i was understandably very nervous, but Toms calm, welcoming and reassuring nature helped me relax and actually enjoy every moment. He made everyone feel included and comfortable, and you could tell that he genuinely cared about making our day special.
Tom we really cannot thank you enough. You gave us a ceremony that we will cherish and remember for the rest of our lives, and we feel so lucky that you were the person who helped us begin our married life together.
Thank you for everything. You were absolutely wonderful.

We couldn’t have asked for more…
Tom was fabulous from start to finish.
From the initial phonecall, we knew this is who we wanted to officiate our special day.
Before the wedding, Tom came to our house to talk through the ceremony, and ease any anxieties we were having.
I remember on the day when i got to the top of the aisle, Tom saying to me ‘it’s just us three, in your kitchen, drinking tea and eating biscuits’ and instantly I felt calm.
Our wedding guests were also so complimentary of him. Everyone said how fun, relaxed, and personal the ceremony was, which is exactly what we wanted.
We can’t thank Tom enough for being part of our day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than Tom. From the very beginning, he made us feel completely at ease. We were both incredibly nervous about the ceremony, but Tom’s calm, kind, and gentle nature instantly reassured us.
On the day, Tom delivered the most beautiful ceremony. It felt so personal, warm, and relaxed, and he struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and light-hearted. He made us feel comfortable from the very first moment, and that meant the world to us.
One of the things that really stood out was how many of our guests commented on Tom afterwards. We lost count of the number of people who came up to us to say how fantastic he was, how engaging the ceremony was, and how much they loved him. So many people said it was one of the nicest ceremonies they’d ever been to, and that’s a real testament to Tom’s warmth and the care he puts into what he does.
Tom is a genuinely lovely person, and we feel so lucky that he was such an important part of our wedding day. We can’t thank him enough and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.

Thomas Harty An Amazing Celebrant
From our first contact with Tom we both knew that he was perfect for all wedding. His Surname describes him perfectly!
Tom got to know us as a couple and our story. He found out exactly what we wanted from our ceremony and guided us through it at every stage. He gave us ideas and tips, as neither of us had ever even been at a civil ceremony before, and allowed us to design the exact layout of it. He was natural and warm and our family and friends were really taken with his calmness and his down to earth nature. Tom is amazing at what he does and anyone thinking of getting a celebrant should get in contact straight away. Our favourite thing about Tom is that he is 100% genuine. He doesn’t try to create the ceremony he wants, he creates exactly what you want plus more. Every person there told us how emotional they were throughout the ceremony, many tears and so much laughter too.
Myself and Shane and all our combined guests could not recommend Tom highly enough. If you decide to choose Tom you will be very lucky to get him.
Once again Tom from the bottom of both our hearts Thank You for a perfect day

Jess & Toms Wedding March 2026
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding celebrant. From our very first meeting, Tom made us feel completely at ease and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. The ceremony felt so personal, warm, and genuinely “us,” which is exactly what we wanted.
Toms delivery on the day was flawless, calm, engaging, and full of heart. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was, and that’s entirely down to the care and effort Tom put in.
We’re so grateful to have had Tom as part of our day and would recommend him to anyone looking for a truly special and memorable ceremony.
Jessica and Thomas Flannery

Amazing Celebrant
Tom was absolutely central to how amazing our wedding celebrations were.
From the first time we met him to the wedding day itself he was so personal and kind.
We wanted the wedding to be easy, fun, lighthearted but also a celebration of a special day. He hit the nail on the head with his delivery of the ceremony.
He made the ceremony unforgettable for us and also for all of our friends and family who attended.
Thank you so much Tom for adding so much to what has been one of the best days of our lives.

Thank you
Tom was especially helpful and supportive throughout. There was some delay with the paperwork and Tom kept saying that it would all be OK but if everything wasn’t ready for the 15th then not to worry…we would just get married whenever it was possible. He met us for coffee some weeks before the 15th and was keen to shape the wedding to suit our needs.
We wanted a secular and simple ceremony and Tom really respected that. I think that the ceremony couldn’t have been bettered.
Tom came back to our house for the meal and I really enjoyed talking to him. I like Tom as a person, he is a good man.

Magic
Tom, from the moment we first spoke on the phone, I knew you were the perfect celebrant for us. Your cool, calm and funny nature was something that we could relate to. Meeting you before our wedding in Mallow, it was like we had known you for years. You made us feel so at ease and created a beautiful ceremony with us. We left feeling so excited for our wedding and what was to come.
The ceremony, what is there even to say that can give you the credit you deserve. From start to finish, you could feel the love in the room. So many people came to us throughout the day and told us how much they loved the ceremony and how it was the nicest one they had been at! That’s all down to you Tom. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a magical time that we will never forget
Gill & T

Made us completely at ease from the get go
Tom was so lovely to work with. He’s the only celebrant we reached out to when planning our wedding as he had a gut instinct from the first phone call that he was the perfect match for what we were looking for. He’s super experienced and natural at what he does and above all, a very down to earth character with great charisma about him. Our planning and ceremony couldn’t have gone any better and that’s all thanks to Tom leading us all the way. Thank you Tom!
Laura & Paul

a wonderful ceremony delivered by a brilliant man
Tom is a brilliant celebrant, I knew from our first conversation that he was the man for the job. He definitely had his work cut out for him helping to create an interfaith wedding ceremony for an Irish catholic living in Denmark, to a Jewish American living in Chicago, USA for a service to be held in Fota Island, Cork, Ireland. He effectively managed to blend elements of both faiths seamlessly, without one overshadowing the other. He also effortlessly blended elements of mine and Jen’s story of our relationship into the ceremony making the whole event very unique and personal to us. Tom is a fantastic story teller and an engaging celebrant making sure everyone in attendance felt they were an integral part of the day, not just the direct family and bridal & grooms parties. The ceremony was the perfect mix of fun, light hearted and playful while also having reverence, respect and a sense of weight to the occasion. Everyone absolutely loved Tom and I think we received more compliments about his performance than anything else we did on the day. An emphatic 10/10, could not recommend Tom more highly to anyone in the process of determining who should be their celebrant.

Baby Naming Day
The ceremony was exactly what we wanted, not religious but still spiritual and meaningful to us and our family. Tom took the time to get to know us before the ceremony and tailored the day to suit us. Thank you so much for making our little girls day so special.

Wedding Ceremony of Our Dreams!
We would give Tom 10 stars if we could!! He’s incredibly easy to work with and a true joy. We’re a U.S. based couple, and we wanted to be legally wed in Ireland (versus marrying in the States ahead of the wedding). Tom walked us through that process and made it much easier to understand how to do that. In planning the ceremony, he was very supportive, open, and helpful. We received tons of compliments from our guests after the wedding about how personal, unique, and fantastic the ceremony was, and we felt exactly the same way!! Tom eased all our nerves, made us laugh and cry, and the whole thing start to finish was absolute perfection. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding celebrant!
Brenna & Ian

Outstanding
We can’t express enough how fantastic Tom was as our wedding celebrant! From the very first phone call he was delightful and easy to deal with, I knew he was the right choice for us! Tom’s calm and gentle demeanour put us at ease, and his reassuring nature helped reduce any pre wedding nerves!
What truly made our ceremony special was Tom’s ability to involve our children. It was heartwarming to see them included, adding a personal touch that made the day even more memorable! We have received countless compliments about how beautiful and meaningful the ceremony was.
Thank you, Tom, for making our wedding ceremony unforgettable! We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant. Highly recommended!

The Old Ground, Ennis
From our first call with Tom we felt very at ease that we were in good hands. Tom took great care and attention in forming our beautiful ceremony. He was so generous with his time ahead of the big day and that carried through onto the day itself. He guided us on when to include readings and music and we ended up with a ceremony that both we and our families and friends loved. He was so kind, warm and welcoming on the day, we would highly recommend Tom.
Sean & Denise

Top class celebrant
Had a fantastic tone from start to finish! And all reports from everyone seem to be the same, particularly regarding yourself, Everyone mentioned how friendly you were before the ceremony and agreed with us that you were fantastic, thank you so much! I will be recommending you wholeheartedly to Anyone that asks, and I think I can say our guests would be as well!
Just heading off to Clare now, sneaking in 4 nights and then finishing with another wedding in Adare woodlands on Friday! Reality will hit with a Bang on Sunday! I do fancy my chances being able to actually talk to ppl by Friday, definitely voice improving by the day!
I do hope we meet again, if you’re in the Killenaule Fethard area make sure to call!

A wonderful celebrant
Tom was a true professional and we were delighted to have him marry us on our very special day.
Tom is so kind, caring, and a pure gentleman, he made our day so special and he was excellent with our two sons. All our guests complimented us on such a wonderful wedding ceremony and it was all down to Tom.
Rachael & Joao-Carlos

Tom is wonderful
Dear Tom,
Thank you so much for your message.
We can’t believe a week has passed already!
We were absolutely thrilled to have had you as our celebrant on our wedding day. ‘I loved everything about our ceremony’, was the first thing Tom and I said to one another when we danced out of the room as husband and wife. You created a beautiful light-hearted atmosphere in the room where the love was felt through your words and kind approach. It was exactly what we wanted.
Your suggestions of having Christopher speak about Tom and I and to add background music to Cathal’s poem worked perfectly. Your suggestions also demonstrated your experience and the thoughtfulness and care you had in helping us create the beautiful ceremony that it was. So many people complimented us on how wonderful and relaxed our ceremony was.
Prior to the day, we very much appreciated your flexibility in the times that we could contact you and your quick responses and communication via email and video calls as it really helped us feel at ease.
I am still receiving photos from others and have yet to see the one of us together, I can’t remember who took it but if you have a picture of us together could you please send it to me as I would love to have it.
Thank you again Tom for everything. You are so great at what you do and we are so grateful to have had you as part of our wedding day.
Wishing you continued success in life.
All our best,
Aislinn and Tom

The Perfect Celebrant!
We truly thought our wedding couldn’t be any better, and then came Tom.
We are so grateful to have had Tom as our wedding officiant! From our first meeting, he made us feel comfortable and understood exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. Tom’s warmth and professionalism shone through as he crafted a beautiful, personalized script that perfectly captured our love story.
On the big day, he delivered the ceremony with such grace and sincerity, leaving our guests moved and engaged. His calm demeanor helped ease our nerves, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect officiant.
Tom went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, and we truly felt that he cared about making our day special. We highly recommend Tom to any couple looking for a thoughtful, dedicated officiant!
Thank you, Tom, for making our wedding day unforgettable!
Logan Donovan-Conway

Amazing ceremony
Thank you Tom for the most beautiful ceremony, you really made us feel so at ease and relaxed on the day despite our nerves. All of our guests complimented the ceremony and said it was the nicest they have been to, all down to you. What an amazing day it was. We couldn’t recommend you enough! Lots of Love, Mr & Mrs G 🙂
Janice & Peter Guerin

ABSOLUTELY PREFECT
From our very first phone call from Chicago to Tom in Ireland, we felt very much at ease and knew we were going to have a very special wedding day, so much so, that we have recommended Tom to all our friends in America who are thinking of getting married in the Emerald Isle.
Tom put together a ceremony that reflected our love and personalities, everything was just prefect.
Marty & Michelle

A celebrant and a friend
We first met Tom about 12 months before we married. I knew within moments of speaking with him there was no one else I would want to marry us. Toms kind heart, his wonderful sense of humour and his calm presence were the catalyst for the most beautiful day of our lives.
Tom listened to our story over a slice of apple pie at our kitchen table and created a beautiful, intimate and personal ceremony.
He created a beautiful space for us to celebrate our love and exchange vows.
Tom reminded us about the importance of our roots and how beautiful traditions can be when you make them your own.
We will forever be thankful for the moments he gave us that day.
Rebecca & Luke

Our Irish wedding celebrant, beautiful Tom

AND ALL ROUND PREFECT CELEBRANT FOR OUR WEDDING DAY, MAGICAL!
We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant!
Tom is the best in the business, he is so nice, friendly and caring. Our guests absolutely loved his wit & humour and so many of our guests came up to us after our wedding and all spoke very highly about Tom and his ceremony.
We both would thoroughly recommend Tom and wish him the very best in his career as a wedding celebrant.
Katie

From start to finish Tom was absolutely amazing, caring, enthusiastic and a joy to work with. We described what we wanted and delivered that and more. We were delighted to have Tom stay and enjoy our day with us where afterwards guests and also venue staff spoke of how much of a pleasure and just a nice easy going man he is. Thanks again for everything Tom.

To love, laughter, and happily ever after.
