Let's Celebrate in Style
My name is Trish Tierney.
Are you currently thinking of a Wedding Ceremony, Elopement, Commitment or Renewal of Vows ceremony with your partner? Or maybe you are considering a Naming or Family Blending Ceremony? Then get in touch with me to discuss your aspirations and start to turn your dream into a reality today.
I'm a qualified Independent Civil Celebrant, currently living in Beautiful Belfast.
I am ar bís/delighted to offer my services to cover the island of Ireland (Rep of Ireland/Northern Ireland) and UK/Europe on request. I've travelled and worked around the world, immersing myself in diverse cultures, languages, and adventures.
From teaching in Dubai, to Speech and Language Therapist in Australia/England/Ireland and Northern Ireland, to student-jobs in The Hamptons, New York. Each stamp on my passport has taught me that saol is sona/life’s best moments, are the ones we craft ourselves. This insight led me to train as a professional Civil Celebrant - helping people to celebrate life’s joyful milestones with unforgettable, bespoke ceremonies for you to enjoy.
Why choose me as your Celebrant?
Honesty, Humour and Happiness is what I aim to bring to you and your partner’s bespoke ceremony.
From extensive global travels to marrying and settling down, from a fulfilling 20-year career as a Speech and Language Therapist to becoming a mother, my journey has been rich and varied. Here's some of my Qualifications:
-
Diploma in Naming and Couples Ceremonies UK
-
Bachelor of Science Degree (Hons) in Speech and Language Therapy
-
Bachelor of Arts Degree (Hons) in Linguistics and Old & Medieval Irish
-
As a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants I am fully insured to carry out a ceremony anytime, any place, any where.
I'm extremely proud of being part of the healthcare profession (Speech and Language Therapist) with the NHS, HSE and Queensland Health (over the past 20 years). I have vast experience in public speaking, working with diverse family situations and I thrive on getting the best out of people.
I’ve seen the wild, the wonderful and everything in between.
Ensuring that everyone feels welcome and included in your ceremony is paramount to me.
So if you dream of:
-
An intimate sunrise ceremony on one of your favourite mountain-tops or
-
saying your vows on a romantic sandy beach at sunset
-
or a twilight-ceremony in the forest
-
or a night-time ceremony at a castle
-
or a mid-afternoon ceremony by the waterfall
-
or a marquee in your garden
-
or nuptials at noon in a rustic barn on your farm
-
or in your favourite village-hall, music club, pub or restaurant
-
or a chic-city ceremony in an Art Gallery/Museum/ Botanical Gardens
-
or on a boat, a plane, a hot-air-balloon... the skies are quite literally, the limit! (as long as it’s safe and legal, let’s do it)!
However, if you are planning on:
● Getting Married
● Civil Partnership
● Elopement
you will need to complete the legal paperwork locally, before the confetti flies and the champagne corks pop!
Don’t worry though - none of it is daunting, and if you need help, I can easily give you advice.
