Less to plan, all the magic.
The Lite Package keeps everything that matters — the location, the planning, the photographer — and skips the bits you don’t need for a couple-only ceremony. Simple, beautiful, and yours.
Local expertise, even when you’re planning from overseas.
Our Ireland-based team has been helping couples from the USA, Canada and around the world plan unforgettable elopements since 2014. With more than 1,500 celebrations planned, 300+ five-star WeddingWire reviews and multiple Couples’ Choice Awards, our Lite Packages give you the freedom to keep things simple while still benefiting from experienced local planners and trusted Irish vendors.

It’s all about focusing on what matters most: the two of you, a beautiful location, and an unforgettable experience together.
