About Me

My name is Sarah Gardiner and Echoes of Life began with a simple idea, I believe the moments that shape our lives deserve to be marked with care, heart and meaning.

As a civil celebrant and registered solemniser of marriages in the Republic of Ireland, I have the privilege of working with people during some of life’s most significant moments. Weddings, funerals and family ceremonies are deeply personal occasions and each one deserves to reflect the people at the centre of it. My role is to listen carefully to your story and help create a ceremony that feels genuine, thoughtful and true to you.

Before becoming a celebrant I spent many years working in marketing. When life shifted during the pandemic, I followed a calling to work more closely with people and retrained as a civil celebrant and death doula. That journey has allowed me to support families with compassion, creativity and calm guidance at important moments in their lives. Alongside ceremonies, I also facilitate workshops that help people reflect on their lives, share their stories and create meaningful legacy projects for the people they love.

Outside of my work, I’m married to Will and Mam to Liam. We live in Dunleer with our dog crazy Dizzy. I enjoy time with family and friends, yoga and gigs. It is always a privilege to be invited into people’s lives to mark moments of love, change and remembrance.
