Best Decision Ever!
My Wife and I eloped from Chicago. We had never visited Ireland and we weren’t sure where to start with planning a quick elopement. I’m extremely happy to say that hiring The Eloping in Ireland Team was the best decision we could’ve ever made. Every vendor we worked with was so incredibly kind, professional, and responsive. Our entire experience was incredible. I promise, you won’t regret working with this team. Thank you for making our wedding experience the best we could’ve ever hoped for.

Kimberly & Matthew
I have so much to say and none of the words I have seem to truly describe what an amazing experience I have had with Eloping in Ireland planning my spectacular wedding day for me. From the very beginning to the very end they took care of everything for me, they were friendly, helpful, informative and any possible request I had was fulfilled perfectly.
You can immediately tell that this company truly cares about providing you with the most magical wedding day you could have ever imagined having. I can confirm 100% that they pride themselves in providing the absolute best vendors and service you could imagine.
Every vendor was absolutely amazing and they all made the process so enjoyable and everyone had amazing personalities which I loved so very much. All I can say is if you’re thinking of using Eloping In Ireland, trust me, don’t think twice and just book with them and trust them.

Shiobhan & Chad
It can be terrifying to say the least, to reach out and put your wedding day in the hands of a stranger. Through the entire process, I never felt an ounce of anxiety or that I was dealing with a stranger! And if you knew me, that alone speaks volumes for the wonderful job done by Stephen and his team.
Prompt response times (with any little question), professionalism, compassion, and attention to every detail and moment that Stephen and his team are dedicated to was impressive. Our day was magical and stress free as a direct reflection collectively of all their hard work. We cannot thank them enough for our blissful wedding!

Nancy & Jason
We thought planning a wedding in another country would be scary and stressful. Eloping in Ireland took all of that away. They are the real deal. They answered every question and responded to every request almost immediately.
Every detail was exactly as promised and more. This included every service they put us in touch with. Perfect 100% experience. Thank you so much to the Eloping in Ireland team for making our wedding a fairy tale.
— Nancy & Jason (Michigan, USA)
Lottie & Dan
Stephen, Olivia, and Roisin were a dream to work with. They answered all my questions in a timely manner and got us in touch with wonderful vendors. We had a perfect, stress-free day that went exactly as planned.
I knew exactly what I wanted from my wedding day the minute I met my husband 20 years ago but never thought it possible. Eloping in Ireland not only made it possible, they made it exactly as I always pictured it. Perfect!
— Lottie & Dan (Missouri, USA)
Coya & Rebekah
Eloping in Ireland helped me plan the best day of my entire life!!!!!!! Stephen and his team were phenomenal. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect.
If you are questioning whether you should elope or get married in Ireland, the answer is yes. And if you are stressed about planning such an extravagant wedding in a country you’ve never been to, look no further. Stephen Neary and his Eloping In Ireland team will make every single one of your wedding dreams come true.
I am still in complete disbelief of how absolutely brilliant our Ireland wedding was. I would do it all exactly the same. This team that Stephen put together are no longer just our wedding vendors. They are truly family.
