Rev Geraldine Bown - Interfaith Minister and Legal Solemniser

Planning a wedding is exciting... BUT...
Suppose you don’t want a church wedding... yet want more than a civil ceremony?

As an Interfaith Minister, Celebrant and Legal Solemniser I would love to work with you to design a beautiful, spiritual AND legal wedding ceremony that reflects each of your beliefs and is centred on joy, love and commitment. The ceremonies I do are mostly for people who want a sense of the spiritual in their wedding ceremony but don't want it to subscribe to any particular dogma or religion. So we would create together a ceremony that can draw on readings and poems from any and all of the traditions - or from none of them!

I can also do a wedding that centres on nature, love and relationships, without any spiritual references at all. However you want it to be - so it will be created. And YOU choose your venue, your day of the week, and the time you want your ceremony to be.

My role is to help you both reflect deeply about your relationship, the purpose of your relationship, your intention and expectations of your commitment, the vision for your lives together...

and combine all these things in a beautiful ceremony. The ceremony should be an authentic reflection of who you are and where you are heading together.

Choose your own readings, music, and write your own vows plus I have lots of ideas for you to consider about additional elements to make your wedding ceremony personal, uplifting and inclusive for everyone present.

I am one of a group of ordained ministers from a variety of backgrounds and traditions, working independently of churches or organised religions. We have no church or building as we believe the world is our church and we seek to embrace the Love that transcends all boundaries and look for what unites us not what divides us. As Ministers we find our own unique way to express our Ministry and serve our communities

I work mainly in the beautiful West of Ireland but I travel to County Mayo and County Clare too.

Do contact me and let's see what we can create together so you have the wedding of your dreams.
