Weddings
The Register General has designated the Missionary Institute of St Patrick to conduct religious wedding ceremonies for the Irish State. The Irish State recognises a religious wedding. This means that the ceremony of Marriage is legal in Ireland and is based on your religious belief. Ceremonies are available at venues throughout the country or at a private owned church attached to a hotel.
Wedding ceremonies and marriages are performed in a religious setting independent of any denomination church or institution. This is performed at a venue of your choice.
What types of wedding ceremonies can we offer?
At The Ministry Institute of St Patrick, we can perform religious ceremonies for the Irish state, this means a ceremony of marriage that is legal in Ireland. Our wedding ceremonies can be:
-
An indoor or outdoor ceremony

Your wedding ceremony can be as orthodox (e.g. Christian) or Celtic or a blend and as unusual as you like.

To avail of this service on your wedding day, you must give 3 months notice to the Registrar's office and visit the office in person to provide all the documentation. The registrar then issues you with a Marriage Registration Form (MRF) which you bring with you to the ceremony. After the marriage and the signing of this form, you return the form to the registrar. I will be named on the MRF as the Solemnizer of the marriage.
