How can I Be of Service?
Spiritual counselling
Discover The Wisdom Within
Spiritual Counselling is also known as Spiritual Guidance, Spiritual Accompaniment and or Spiritual Direction. It is not psychotherapy. It is to help people discover that beyond their problems and beyond their conditioning they already have the answers and the wisdom within them. The counsellor facilitates the meeting and creates a safe and sacred space for the client to offload anything that may hold them back from realising their true potential.
End Of Life Ceremonies (Funeral)
It’s an honour and pleasure to be entrusted by a family to perform a ceremony for their recently departed loved one. Each ceremony is crafted with love to reflect the life lived by the family member incorporating their belief system, their values and traditions. During this difficult time I am happy to meet the family, talk over the phone or Skype if necessary.
Baby naming ceremonies
Our baby naming ceremonies recognise the individuality of the child and the rationale behind the importance of their name.
We focus on their uniqueness without enforcing any indoctrination upon them or their family, rather we recognise their parents desire to love their child unconditionally and their intention to support their child so that as they grow they may make their own decisions and learn from their own mistakes but always with the support of their parents.
Baby naming ceremonies are designed with couples to reflect their desires and needs whilst focusing on the importance of the child as an individual in their own right whose individual spirit and integrity should never be manipulated but rather their uniqueness fostered and appreciated in their own right.

Outdoor Ceremonies
Your ceremony can be held on any day of the week and at a venue of your choice, including outdoors as long as it is at and identifiable address and open to the general public. (HSE approved venue)
Same Sex Ceremonies
Since marriage equality was established in Ireland, we now celebrate Marriage and not Same-Sex Marriage. We celebrate Love, that unifying universal and eternal force, which resides in us all.
Mark was delighted by Ireland’s unanimous decision to vote for same-sex couples for full Marriage Rights. Create your very own wedding ceremony with Lovett Ceremonies, as we enjoy finding out what makes our couples unique and focusing around their perfect wedding ceremony.
Handfasting
This is a traditional Celtic ceremony which represents “Tying the knot”, or “Hand in Marriage”. This form of ceremony symbolises the marriage represented by the knot and strengthening under pressure. Another wonderful opportunity for a photograph as some couples like to involve guests to tie a lovely ribbon to the chord which represents a blessing for the couple’s marriage
Vow Renewal
Planning a trip to Ireland? Why not surprise your loved one with a vow renewal. Ireland is a fantastic place to renew your vows with wonderful venues and places steeped in history and culture.
Unity Candle Lighting
The lighting of a unity candle is a very popular wedding ceremony enhancement. At the beginning of the wedding ceremony, a representative from each family (usually the mothers of the bride and groom) light the two outer candles. Then the bride and groom use the two outer candles to light the centre unity candle together.
This symbolises the lighting of the flames of their hearts.
Wine Box & Love Letter
Couples create their very own Romantic time capsule by writing a love letter to each other and sealing them into the wine box. The box is meant to be fully displayed in their home. The couple decides to open the box, drink the wine and read the letters they have penned for each other on an anniversary of their choice
Coming of Age Ceremony
Girls And Boys
For Those who want to celebrate their rite of passage into Adulthood. These ceremonies are common around the world, most recognised would be a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Sweet 16, or when a member of a tribe would venture into the wild and fend for himself to show he has transitioned into manhood.
Each of these ceremonies have rituals which signify the transition. A rite of passage ceremony can be substituted for a Communion or Confirmation if a secular family dont want their children to miss out on a big day like some of their friends who may be attending a religious school.
