No. The 2003 Marriage Order explicitly prohibits the performance or recognition of same-sex marriages in Northern Ireland.
However, the 2004 Civil Partners Act provides same-sex couples with all of the same rights and responsibilities of marriage, except for use of the word "marriage."

Which legislative body can enact same-sex marriage legislation in Northern Ireland?
This answer is either the Northern Ireland Assembly or the Westminster Parliament (Houses of Lords and Commons in London). The Northern Ireland Assembly is empowered to legislate on certain "transferred matters," but prevented from doing so on other "reserved matters" and "excepted matters" which can only be dealt with by the Westminster Parliament. (The list of matters is specific to Northern Ireland; legislators in Scotland and Wales have to deal with different, yet similar, limitations.) In the United Kingdom, the Westminster Parliament is sovereign, meaning it absolutely can pass any law it pleases and that law can apply to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Whether the Northern Ireland Assembly can alter the legal requirements for marriage in Northern Ireland is unclear.
