Where to plan your wedding in Ireland
It might be that you have Irish heritage. Or you love the country's rich history, or are drawn to its unforgettable landscapes. Whatever your reason for choosing to plan a wedding in Ireland, there’s a location to match – here are just a few for inspiration.
County Cork
With the cosmopolitan city of Cork at its heart, Ireland’s largest county is where you’ll find colourful fishing villages, lushly green hills and valleys, mountain passes, windswept beaches, and a very warm welcome.
The Cliffs of Moher
Found in County Clare in the west of Ireland, the Cliffs of Moher offer panoramic views across the Atlantic Ocean and out to the Aran Islands. A truly epic spot for a wedding that’s anchored in natural beauty.
Dublin
There aren’t many capital cities that have mountains, the sea, and a river right on their doorstep. Combine this with the buzz of a city that’s full of creativity and craic, and you’ve got a wonderful spot for a destination wedding.
The Dingle Peninsula
For those who want a dramatic wedding backdrop, this south west peninsula delivers. Twisting roads and paths hug a dramatic coastline, where the wild Atlantic pounds the rocks and the salty breeze stirs your heart and soul.

When to plan your wedding in Ireland
If you haven’t already decided on your wedding date, I’m on hand to help you decide when it's the best time of year to tie the knot.
Spring
In March to May, Ireland starts to be carpeted with a swathe of wildflowers, while fresh green leaves are unfurling on the trees. If you’d love an outdoor ceremony, opt for late April or May for the best chance of sunshine. And, of course, 17th March is St Patrick’s Day!
Summer
In the summer months of June to mid September you can enjoy an average temperature of 60-65°F (16-18°C), and you may even be lucky to get some super sunny days in the low 70s °F. Daylight lasts until around 10pm in midsummer – perfect for those golden hour photoshoots.
Autumn
Late September and October are beautiful months for weddings. It’s still warm, the leaves are turning, and there’s this dreamy aesthetic and vibe that’s unique to the season. There are also fewer tourists and local vacationers, so you can enjoy off-peak rates for venues and hotels.
Winter
The ideal time of year to get married in an historical venue in front of a roaring log fire! But you can also wrap up warm to get some atmospheric al fresco photos. December is busy with Christmas activities, but January and February are the cheapest months for wedding venues and vendors.
Irish wedding ceremonies
There are four types of wedding ceremonies you can have in Ireland. All legally binding ceremonies require you to obtain a Marriage Registration Form at least three months before.
Civil
Performed by a registrar, this ceremony is at a register office or licensed wedding venue. Civil ceremonies follow a specific format and cannot include any religious or spiritual elements.
Secular
Secular ceremonies, such as humanist or Celtic, are legally binding when performed by a registered secular solemnizer. These can take place in any location.
Religious
Ireland recognizes any wedding ceremony performed by registered solemnizers nominated by their religious body, which are usually held in the place of worship.
Symbolic
Have the legal ceremony in your home country and then opt for a symbolic ceremony in Ireland. This is performed by the person of your choice and is infinitely customizable.

Get to know your Irish wedding planner
A chance encounter in an Arizonan ski resort led me to my happily-ever-after. I’d love to hear how I can help you plan a unique wedding day in Ireland to mark the start of yours.
Best thing about being a destination wedding planner in Ireland?
Hearing everyone’s love stories. I always find it so beautiful that, despite everything else that’s happening in the world, people want to share their love with others.
Favorite place in Ireland?
Ballybunion in Kerry. My husband’s family has had a holiday home here for over 40 years, and it’s where we spend our summers. I have this amazing sense of serenity when I’m on the beach there.
Go-to dish?
I’m such a foodie so I have loads! My cooking involves a lot of spice – that’s the Arizonan in me, so my mom and sister-in-law who live in Mexico send over ingredients that I can’t get here. The dishes we eat for Thanksgiving are also some of my favorites. Each year I host this holiday for my Irish family and cook for them, which is always a special moment.
Hobbies and interests?
My family, being in nature, and being creative are all incredibly important to me. I enjoy reading any type of book – escaping with fiction and learning with non-fiction – and I’m part of a book group for moms. You’ll also find me curled up on the sofa watching movies – each year I always make sure I see all the Oscar-nominated movies.
Best thing about living in Ireland?
The people – they’re so kind. Family is so important to the Irish, and I also love how everyone is always down for a good time.
