We don't have a magic formula, but we've learned something over the years: the best elopements happen when couples feel completely supported, never rushed, and genuinely excited about their day.
Local knowledge
Your planner wakes up to Irish mists every morning and knows which paths lead to the most breathtaking views. Local knowledge isn't just helpful - it's everything when creating unforgettable moments.
Trusted vendors
Our suppliers aren't just skilled professionals - they're people we'd trust with our own family's celebrations. That level of care and reliability makes all the difference on your special day.
Full-service planning
Most couples tell us "the entire process was stress-free," and that's what makes our hearts happiest. You shouldn't spend your engagement stressed about vendor emails and timeline spreadsheets - leave that to us.

From instant quotes to transparent conversations, you'll know what you're investing from day one. No surprise costs, no hidden fees - just honest pricing that lets you plan with confidence.
Kind words from our couples
"From the moment we made contact with Peach Perfect, it was simply a dream. [...] It must be the most stress free and easiest way to plan a wedding."
"The idea of having an elopement in a different country sounds a little scary but with Peach Perfect, it made this whole thing an absolute breeze."

How to plan your elopement in Ireland
Ready to turn your Irish dreams into reality? Here's how the journey unfolds, step by step, from first spark of an idea to saying "I do" surrounded by emerald landscapes.
Pick a date
Whether it's your anniversary, a meaningful season, or just when your heart says "yes" - your date sets everything in motion. Don't worry about perfect timing; Ireland's beautiful year-round.
Decide on ceremony type
Legal ceremonies need more paperwork, but symbolic ones give you complete freedom. Both can be equally meaningful - it's about what feels right for your relationship and future together.
Guest list (if any)
Most couples keep it just the two of them, but some bring their favorite people along for the adventure. Either choice creates magic - intimate moments or shared joy with loved ones.
Reserve venue
Once your date, ceremony type, and guest count are settled, your planner locks in that perfect venue. This is when your elopement transforms from dream to delightful reality taking shape.
Book vendors
Time to choose your dream team! From photographers who capture genuine laughter to florists who understand your style, each vendor becomes part of your elopement story's success.
I can't recommend Peach Perfect enough if you are looking for a curated wedding experience abroad.

Cost of eloping in Ireland
Here's the brilliant news: eloping in Ireland costs significantly less than a US wedding, with venue and meal prices that won't break the bank. Our local planners share the inside scoop on smart spending.
Venue / Ceremony location
Book exclusive castle access at moderate cost, choose charming country houses for less, or pay minimal fees for dramatic cliff ceremonies. Every budget finds its perfect Irish backdrop.
Vendors / Services
Think of your Irish vendors as talented friends who charge fair rates while going above and beyond. They genuinely care about your day being extraordinary, not just profitable.
Season / Day of week
Most Northern Ireland venues keep consistent pricing year-round. In the Republic, summer brings slight increases, while Monday-Wednesday weddings offer the best value and intimate atmosphere.
Number of guests (if any)
Guest count affects costs, but Ireland's dramatically lower prices compared to North America mean your budget stretches beautifully, regardless of how many people join your celebration.
Overall, Peach Perfect Weddings exceeded our expectations!
- Brittany & Joseph
Just the two of you, or with a few of your loved ones
Guest count is just a number - what matters is creating the experience that feels perfectly right for you. Whether intimate or slightly larger, each celebration size offers unique magic.
Just the two of you
Escape together to emerald landscapes for the most romantic adventure imaginable. No guest management, no pleasing anyone else - just pure focus on each other and this incredible moment you're creating.
Two of you + 2 guests
Perfect for including children, parents, best friends, or another couple sharing your adventure. Four people means intimate conversation, shared laughter, and memories with your most treasured relationships.
Up to ~12-16 people
Modern elopements often include immediate family and closest friends while maintaining that intimate feel. Irish venues specialize in creating magical moments for these perfectly-sized celebrations.
Travel & accommodation
Getting to Ireland from anywhere in the world is easier than you'd think, and once you're here, the entire emerald isle becomes your playground. Northern Ireland's gateway to Europe means honeymoon adventures await!
Get in
Direct flights reach Dublin, Cork, or Shannon, while London connects to Belfast beautifully. Every destination offers incredible elopement venues within an hour's journey from touchdown.
Get around
Adventurous couples love discovering Ireland's hidden gems beyond cities. Train, bus, taxi, or rental car options make countryside exploration delightfully easy - the scenery alone justifies any travel time.
On-site accommodation
We recommend staying in Ireland for your elopement-and-honeymoon combination. Hotels, castles, and lodges accommodate couples and guests beautifully, with zero-guest elopements having unlimited cozy options.
Off-site accommodation
Outdoor ceremony locations often require nearby accommodation rather than on-site stays. Irish hospitality shines through properties minutes from breathtaking cliffs, beaches, and filming locations.

Our favourite Irish elopement locations
Best time to elope in Ireland
Vendor and venue rates rarely change seasonally in Ireland, giving you complete flexibility for choosing your perfect elopement timing. Each season reveals different versions of this island's natural beauty.
Spring
Parks, cliffs, and gardens burst into vibrant blooms creating colorful ceremony backdrops. Mild 8-12°C temperatures make late spring ideal for comfortable outdoor nature ceremonies without weather worries.
Summer
Ireland's mild climate creates perfect summer weddings even at peak temperatures around 20°C. Bonus magic happens with landscapes staying sunlit until 10 PM - imagine those golden hour photography sessions!
Autumn
Pure enchantment arrives when autumn paints woodlands, parks, and castle surroundings in magical brown, red, and tangerine shades. Fall colors create storybook backdrops around every elopement venue.
Winter
Privacy-loving couples find winter perfect for peaceful celebrations. Fewer tourists mean intimate venue access plus magical Christmas holiday atmosphere throughout traditional Irish communities.
Decide on your elopement ceremony
The ceremony forms your elopement's beating heart - when emotions peak and everything becomes beautifully serious. Our celebrants craft deeply personalized experiences based entirely on your unique love story.
Symbolic
Spontaneous, rule-free ceremonies for free-spirited couples wanting their Irish elopement to follow nothing but personal vision and love story. Celebrants ask deep questions to craft your most special experience together.
Civil
First-time marriages wanting legally binding Irish ceremonies require formalities under Ireland's welcoming laws - registrar notice, authorized officiant, witnesses. Worth the paperwork for official recognition everywhere.
Religious
Religious ceremonies often provide legal binding like civil weddings, but requirements follow your faith's traditions rather than government laws. Ireland's diverse churches create beautiful denominational ceremony options.
Humanist
Non-religious, informal ceremonies revolving around your unique values and beliefs without legal formalities. Tie the knot anywhere, include any elements you want - complete freedom for personal expressions.
Spiritual
Spiritual ceremonies focus on couples' shared higher power connections without religious institution binding. Highly customizable according to personal faith, with ceremony flows designed around your preferences entirely.

Religious and civil weddings typically provide legal recognition worldwide. Ireland's marriage laws stay remarkably easy to navigate with no residency requirements - your planner handles all paperwork complications.
Secular
Free-spirited, spontaneous ceremonies where family members or friends can officiate. These symbolic celebrations focus purely on emotional and personal experiences without religious, legal, or spiritual rules constraining you.
Eloping in Republic of Ireland vs Northern Ireland
Without boring technical details, key differences between Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland stem from separate governments - the Republic and UK respectively. Here's what matters for your special day.
Legal requirements
Two main legal differences: Ireland requires 3-month registrar notice versus Northern Ireland's 28 days. Additionally, Northern Ireland allows interfaith/humanist legal ceremonies while Republic limits legal marriages to authorized officiants and ministers.
Currency
Northern Ireland uses pound sterling (£) as part of the UK, while Republic of Ireland operates with euros (€). Simple difference but important for budgeting your elopement expenses.
Travel & borders
Despite technical separation, no border checks exist between Ireland and Northern Ireland due to shared historical governance. Travel freely by any transportation without passport or visa requirements.
Paperwork differences
Beyond notice period variations, minor differences include appointment requirements and specific forms. Both countries require birth certificates, identity proof, and several other standard documentation pieces.
Activities before & after your elopement
Your ceremony marks just the beginning of your Irish adventure! The real exploration starts afterward - diving deep into authentic culture, dining with locals, and discovering landscapes without rigid timelines.
Cliff walks & coastal views
Wild Atlantic Way walks offer the most compelling honeymoon adventures imaginable. Hold hands while Irish breezes carry you along breathtaking coastal panoramas with deep blue ocean views stretching endlessly.
Castle & heritage tours
Google searches might spark connection with Ireland, but stepping onto its soil and witnessing heritage sites firsthand creates the only true understanding. Include exciting heritage tours for authentic Irish experiences.
Traditional pubs & live music
Laid-back Irish people love connecting with others - that's how traditional pubs were born. Share drinks with locals and find yourself immersed in friendly neighborhoods after just one pint.
Food & drink tastings
Drive Wild Atlantic Way from northern reaches down to picturesque Kinsale harbor, stopping at local bars, restaurants, and pubs for unforgettable food tours celebrating regional Irish flavors.
Outdoor adventures
Adrenaline-seeking honeymooners find Ireland's green outdoors irresistible. Hike Mourne Mountains, walk Lough Key forest trails, boat quiet lakes, explore Giant's Causeway, discover hidden worlds in ancient caves.
Romantic escapes
Some couples prefer relaxation over adventure - Ireland accommodates perfectly. Enjoy quiet picnics, peaceful walks, canal boat rides, charming abbey visits, or wine and books in beautiful parks while cuddling.
