Elopements and
intimate weddings
in Ireland

For couples travelling to Ireland to elope, or to celebrate with a small circle of the people they love most.

Start planning your elopement →

Eloping doesn't mean running away. It means choosing what matters.

A beautiful place.
The person you love.
Perhaps a handful of your favourite people.
A ceremony that actually feels like you.

If you're dreaming of eloping in Ireland, I'd love to help. I work with couples travelling from all over the world, helping them understand the practicalities, find the setting that feels right and create a ceremony that is entirely their own.

From our first conversation to the moment you say “I do”, I'll guide you through each step, so you can arrive in Ireland knowing everything is held with care.

A real Celebrate Love wedding

Katie and Rob | Boyne Hill House

2026

Áine was an absolute pleasure to work with and did such a beautiful job on our ceremony. From the moment we met her, she had such a calming presence, which really helped put us at ease throughout the whole process and especially on the day itself.

She created a ceremony that felt so personal and truly reflected us as a couple, which meant so much. It struck the perfect balance of heartfelt and relaxed, and we got so many compliments from our guests about how lovely it was.

Áine also went above and beyond in the little details: she printed our vows and readings so we didn't have to worry about a thing, and she provided the handfasting ribbons and memorial candle, which made everything feel really seamless and special.

We're so grateful to have had her as part of our day and would highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding ceremony.

Your elopement. Your way.

Planning from overseas is simpler than it sounds. Think of this as a gentle framework, not a rigid itinerary; I'll guide you through each part.

  1. 01

    Choose your location

    Start with the four places here, or tell me about somewhere else in Ireland. I'll share what I know so you can choose with confidence, wherever you're travelling from.

  2. 02

    Choose your experience

    Decide how much support feels right. You can talk it through with me first; there's no pressure to have it all worked out.

  3. 03

    Make it yours

    We'll talk (often over video call) about your story, your people and how you want the day to feel. I write your ceremony from there.

  4. 04

    Arrive and be present

    By the time you land in Ireland, the plan is clear. I'll be your calm point of contact, so you can simply be together.

  5. 05

    Say “I do”

    A ceremony created only for you, in a place that means something.

“Planning a wedding is hard, it’s even more difficult doing it from another country.”

Getting married in Ireland

If you're travelling from overseas, there are legal requirements and paperwork to understand before you can marry in Ireland, and they take time.

As an HSE registered solemniser, I can legally officiate your ceremony, and I'll help you understand what's needed and when, so nothing feels uncertain.

Understand the process →

What about the other details?

I'll help you make sense of the practical side of an Irish elopement: the legal ceremony process, a realistic planning timeline and how the day will flow.

My fee covers my time, ceremony creation and the planning support included in your chosen experience. Venue hire, accommodation, photography, flowers, music, hair and makeup, catering and transport are booked directly by you, and where your experience includes recommendations, I'm always happy to point you to the right people.
