Destination Weddings Abroad
So, you've decided to get married abroad. How exciting!
Maybe you're dreaming of exchanging your vows in the sunshine, overlooking the sea, surrounded by beautiful scenery or at a gorgeous little venue you've fallen in love with.
And let's face it, the possibility of sunshine on your wedding day is certainly appealing when you're living in Ireland!
But while you're planning your wedding somewhere beautiful, you might be wondering who'll actually conduct your ceremony.
Well, how about bringing your own celebrant with you?
Rather than trying to find someone locally who you've never met, you can have someone from home looking after your ceremony.
We'll get to know each other beforehand, talk through your plans and create a ceremony that's personal, relaxed and reflects the two of you.
Whether you're planning something romantic and intimate or celebrating with family and friends who've travelled to join you, I'll help you create a ceremony that feels exactly right.
And because I'll be travelling from Ireland, we'll have everything prepared well before we leave, so you'll know what to expect on the day.
You concentrate on enjoying your wedding abroad, and I'll look after the ceremony!
What's Included
- Complimentary consultation
- Personalised ceremony questionnaire
- Wedding ceremony written especially for you
- Two ceremony drafts for review and amendments
- Guidance with personal vows and readings
- Your choice of a personalised love story or other ways to make your ceremony your own
- Up to two symbolic rituals or ceremony enhancements
- Flexibility to include local traditions, family customs and personal touches
- Additional support with ceremony arrangements for your destination wedding
- Access to my wedding ceremony guides and planning resources
- Travelling to your chosen destination to conduct your wedding ceremony, with travel and accommodation costs arranged and charged separately.
Every destination wedding is a little different, so I'll put together a personalised quotation based on where you're getting married, the travel arrangements and what's involved in your ceremony.
We'll have a chat about your plans first, and I'll explain exactly what's included in your quotation so you know what to expect from the beginning.
Flights, accommodation and any additional travel expenses are not included in the ceremony fee and are payable by the couple.
Destination Weddings Abroad
- From €2,000
Planning and conducting a wedding ceremony abroad involves quite a bit more than the ceremony itself.
Unlike a wedding here in Ireland, where I can usually travel to your venue and return home the same day, a destination wedding can involve several days away, depending on where you're getting married.
There's the additional preparation, organising travel and accommodation, allowing time for flights and transfers, and making sure I'm at your destination well ahead of your ceremony.
It also means setting aside those days exclusively for your wedding, when I would otherwise be available to conduct ceremonies here at home.
What doesn't change is the personal service you'll receive. Your ceremony will still be written especially for you, with the same care, attention and support that I give every couple I work with.
The difference in price reflects the additional time, travel and commitment involved in being there with you for your wedding abroad.
Why Does a Destination Wedding Ceremony Cost More?
Travel & Accommodation
I'll arrange and book my own travel and accommodation, so that's one less thing for you to worry about. These costs are separate from my ceremony fee and will be clearly outlined in your quotation.
Travel and accommodation costs must be paid in full before bookings are made. Once booked, these costs are non-refundable.
Getting Legally Married Abroad
Marriage requirements vary from country to country. Many couples choose to complete the legal marriage separately and enjoy a personalised symbolic ceremony at their destination.
If you're hoping to have a legally recognised ceremony abroad, you'll need to check the requirements in your chosen country.
