Hello and welcome to Rev. Helen Grubert’s Ministerial Website.
Some of the contents within may surprise you – in a good way.
As a One Spirit Interfaith Minister, I’m a Solemniser of Marriages registered to legally marry couples (without the need for a separate civil ceremony) from “all faith paths and none” – meaning that I can create for you a ceremony that is wide ranging and authentic to your beliefs whether they be religious, spiritual, undefined or humanist etc………., without the restrictions placed on some other types of legal ceremonies.
Most importantly, I craft for you a ceremony reflecting your individual personalities and highlights your unique relationship; this can be humorous, romantic, relaxed, quirky, geek-chic, themed, or unassuming: it’s all about what is right for you. I would like to add that I have on many occasions walked the balancing act between keeping the ceremony real for the couple whilst at the same time honouring the beliefs and sensibilities of their parents. As a minister, what also sets me apart from celebrants is that I’m not just there for the ceremony; I am there for you throughout the process of becoming married offering assistance and support and, where required, spiritual counselling and accompaniment. I am used to dealing with some of the more sensitive issues and dynamics associated with contemporary family life, without losing the fun and sense of romance of the occasion.
ABOUT ME
As a One Spirit Interfaith minister, I am registered with the HSE to Solemnise (conduct,officiate, perform) legally binding marriages, without the need to attend a separate civil ceremony in front of the registrar. I was ordained in 2012 and became one of the first non-church ministers to be registered by the HSE to Solemnise Legal weddings in Ireland.
WEDDINGS
It is a great joy for me to create for you and then officiate a Wedding Ceremony which is really special and personal which reflects your personalities, your unique relationship and beliefs, taking you on that magical journey from being two people in love to being a committed and loving married couple.

"Hi Helen, On behalf of myself and my lovely wife Sarianne, I want to Thank you for the Lovely and beautifully personalized Ceremony that you put together for us. It was nice to have something that will stay with us for years to come and not remember it as the generic church sermon that you would normally receive. The input that you extracted from us really made the whole thing much more spiritual and meaningful. .Many thanks again for all the work you put into it. Best Wishes".
