Louise Burchall

I live in Naas with my daughter Jemma and our dog Alfie, who firmly believes he runs the house (and honestly, he kind of does).

I’ve been a Humanist for years, long before I even knew there was a word for it. Becoming an accredited celebrant with the Humanist Association of Ireland has been a dream come true. It really is the best job in the world.

I create ceremonies full of meaning, warmth, and personality. Whether it’s a wedding, a naming day, or another brilliant excuse to gather your favourite people, I’ll work with you to shape something that feels relaxed, genuine, and true to you.

My style is down-to-earth and full of heart - always with room for humour, joy, and a few laughs along the way. I’ll guide you through the whole process to make it easy and enjoyable, and on the day, I’ll hold the space with care, calm, and just the right amount of fun.

I’m always happy to include cúpla focal as Gaeilge when asked. I’m not quite fluent, but I can hold my own, and I love the opportunity to bring a little bit of the Irish language into the ceremony when it fits.

Couples often tell me it’s the ceremony their guests can’t stop talking about, and to me, that’s the biggest compliment of all.

Outside of celebrant work, I’m a resilience coach, laughter yoga facilitator, and tour guide -  so I’ve plenty of experience keeping things on track, telling a good story, and rolling with the unexpected (like disappearing rings or dogs with their own plans).

If you’re looking for a celebrant who’ll bring heart, humour, and a steady hand to your big day, and who’ll make sure the ceremony is one of the most fun, meaningful parts of it, I’d love to chat.
