Okay, we're an Irish wedding supplier so we may be slightly biased here, but you can’t blame us for wanting everybody to get married in Ireland! Maybe you’re a local Irish couple and you aren’t sure where to tie the knot. Or maybe you’re from abroad and you’re toying with the idea of a destination wedding. Regardless of where you're from, we think that Ireland is a pretty fantastic place to say ‘I do’. Here’s a couple of our favourite reasons why…
We have some absolutely incredible scenery...
When you picture Ireland’s gorgeous scenery, the following phrases have probably crossed your mind: dramatic cliffs and beaches, wooded forests, lush green landscape and cliffs overlooking the Atlantic ocean. All of these are reasons to consider getting married in Ireland. Whether you choose one of these settings as the backdrop to your ceremony or simply as a space to go and take photos, you have lots to choose from!
There are also some magnificent churches and chapels...
While civil ceremonies are popular, research has shown that over half of couples want to have a religious ceremony. For anybody who is Catholic, Christian or of Church of Ireland Faiths, there are lots of stunning churches and chapels to choose from. You really are spoilt for choice!
You can find the most majestic castles in every corner...
Anytime somebody describes their dream wedding as ‘a fairytale wedding’, what they’re really picturing is getting married in an ancient Irish castle! Ireland is home to over 30,000 castles, now imagine hosting your wedding in one of Ireland’s majestic castles. There are plenty of beautiful castles that specialise in hosting weddings!
Ireland is home to a wide variety of wedding venues...
Something we are particularly excited about is the variety of wedding venues. Getting married in Ireland means having lots of different types of wedding venues to pick from. We’ve got castles, as mentioned already, cozy manor houses, classy restaurants, modern hotels, alternative venues and everything in between. In fact, it might be a little overwhelming trying to decide where to begin. We’ve got you covered here. Click right here to check out our Venue Finder.

Some absolutely breathtaking ocean views...
Granted, Ireland definitely isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you picture a beach holiday. With that being said, ocean views are still plentiful on the emerald isle! Ireland is filled with not-so-overcrowded beaches, varying from large stretches of sandy beaches to smaller, rocky beaches. Beautiful, quiet beaches = fabulous wedding photos!
Ireland has a rich history & culture...
The final reason why we think you should definitely consider getting married in Ireland is all about the rich history and culture. There's no doubt about it, Ireland is steeped in history! This is demonstrated in the ancient medieval ruins, abandoned castles, gorgeous churches and old monasteries. Not only is it incredible to be surrounded by such history, but you’re sure to get some absolutely stunning wedding photos too! Ireland has a beautiful mix of modern culture and traditional Irish elements. The nation is well-known for its music, pubs, and Irish dancing. There are so many ways to include some of your favourite Irish traditions in your wedding!
