Can you perform the legal aspect of our marriage?
YES! I am a HSE Registered Solemniser, and as such I can Legally Solemnise your marriage at your venue on your chosen day. I work 7 days a week, north, east, south and west. Fee from 700e for south east area, and a little more for further afield.

Can you Solemnise our marriage on a Saturday/Sunday?
Yes! I can Legally Solemnise your marriage at any time, on any day of the week, in any venue recognised by the HSE, in a venue of your choosing that is compliant with Section 52 of the Civil Registrations Act 2004. The main requirements being that the Solemnisation takes place at an identifiable address which is open to the general public. Ceremonies with no legal component can take place pretty much anywhere ( beaches, Ciff sides, private gardens) and I am happy to work with you on this! 

How is our booking confirmed?
Once we have established that I’m available on your date, your booking is confirmed upon receipt of a ‘Save the Date’ booking deposit.

How do we Register our marriage?
In Ireland, all couples must visit a HSE Registrar to register their Intent to Marry, NO LESS THAN THREE MONTHS prior and to their intended wedding date. At this meeting, you will be asked for the names and details of both spouses, both witnesses (over 18 years), your chosen Solemniser ( Rev. Jessica Statham), your venue and your intended date. You will then be given your Marriage Registration Form (MRF) usually in a Green Folder, which you will bring with you on your wedding day. I will request this in advance of the ceremony in order to check and confirm that all details are correct.During the ceremony it will be signed by myself, both spouses and both witnesses, and it is your responsibility to return it to the HSE Registrar’s office within 30 days of your ceremony.
Further details are available from the HSE website

How do we obtain our Marriage Certificate?
You will retain the paperwork (in the green folder) on the day of your ceremony.
(We will nominate someone to ensure it is put away safely, immediately after the ceremony)!
You must return the MFR (Marriage Registration Form) within one month to a Registrar, for the marriage to be registered.
Under Section 50 of the Civil Registration Act 2004, if the completed MRF (Marriage Registration Form) is not returned to a Registrar within 56 days of the intended date of marriage recorded on the MRF, the Registrar can serve a notice on you requiring you to return the MRF within 14 days of receiving the notice.  It is very important that you ensure the paperwork is returned as you cannot get your civil marriage certificate until the marriage is registered.
