Ceremonies by Niamh

Minister Niamh Bogan is a legally registered solemniser based in Kildare and available throughout Ireland. Trained with FuturFaith for their inclusive approach, she warmly welcomes people of all beliefs and backgrounds.

Before becoming a celebrant, Niamh worked as a nurse, where she learned the true value of presence, empathy and honouring life’s most meaningful moments. She now brings that same care and dedication to every ceremony she creates.

Legal Weddings
A celebrant-led wedding with Niamh is a ceremony that feels like you — and makes it official. More than just following a script, she works closely with you to craft a day that reflects your love story, your beliefs (secular, spiritual or cultural), and your personalities. From shared laughter and memories to heartfelt vows and meaningful rituals, every detail is designed to be personal and authentic. Niamh also ensures that the legal requirements are taken care of, including your vows and signing of the register, so your celebration is not only beautiful but fully recognised.

Optional Enhancements
To make your day even more unforgettable, Niamh offers a choice of symbolic rituals, such as:

• Ring Warming Ceremony – Guests bless your rings with silent wishes before the exchange.
• Unity Candle – Two flames join to light a central candle, symbolising your union.
• Sand Blending – Each of you pours coloured sand into a single vessel, showing your lives joining together.
• Time Capsule – Seal love letters, keepsakes or a bottle of wine to open on a future anniversary.
• Handfasting – Your hands are gently bound with ribbon or cord, the ancient origin of “tying the knot.”

Whether you are marrying, renewing vows, naming a child or saying goodbye to someone loved, Niamh takes time to listen and create a ceremony that is heartfelt, unique, and deeply personal.
