Catherine’s a top wedding celebrant

The team at the Lakeside Hotel is delighted (and not the least bit surprised) to celebrate the fantastic achievement of their Wedding Co‑ordinator, Catherine Lewis, who has been named among the Top 5 Wedding Celebrants in Ireland for 2025 by Weddingsonline.ie.

This prestigious honour is based entirely on Catherine’s work as a qualified wedding celebrant and solemniser - a qualification she pursued with determination, dedication, and more late-night study sessions than she’ll publicly admit to. The award is judged on the glowing, heartfelt, and occasionally tear‑jerking reviews submitted by the brides and grooms she has married, each reflecting her exceptional warmth, attention to detail, and talent for creating ceremonies that are both meaningful and memorable.

As Wedding & Events Sales Manager at the Lakeside Hotel, Catherine plays a central role in guiding couples through every step of their wedding journey. Known for her calm professionalism, kindness, and uncanny ability to keep everyone relaxed (including the occasional jittery groom), she works closely with every couple to ensure their day is personal, seamless, and filled with joy.

“We are absolutely thrilled for Catherine and incredibly proud to see her talent recognised on a national level. We’re also more than happy to bask in the reflected glory of her achievement,” said Eoin Little, General Manager of the Lakeside Hotel.

“Because she conducts all of our in-house ceremonies, we get to witness her passion first-hand—time and time again. Her warmth and commitment shine through in everything she does. This award is so well deserved and truly reflects the trust and appreciation shown by the many couples she has worked with.”

The Weddingsonline Awards are among the most respected in the Irish wedding industry, with finalists selected based on verified customer reviews rather than panel judging—meaning it’s the couples themselves who decide the winners. Catherine’s place in the Top 5 highlights not only her exceptional skill as a celebrant, but also the lasting impression she leaves on those who share their wedding day with her.

Speaking about the announcement, Catherine expressed her gratitude to all the couples she has married over the years, noting that their kind words and support made this recognition possible.

The Lakeside Hotel extends its warmest congratulations to Catherine on this outstanding achievement and looks forward to supporting her as she continues to create unforgettable wedding experiences throughout 2025 and beyond.
