Elopement in Ireland
Congratulations on getting engaged! The weeks and months to follow an engagement are usually filled with wedding planning and wedding appointments. After getting engaged, regular life as you know it, can sometimes feel like it’s been put on hold and everything revolves around planning your wedding. While wedding planning can be fun and exciting, it can also be extremely stressful and expensive.
If you are the couple looking for a special wedding experience without the massive cost and the stress, you should consider eloping.
What Does it Mean to Elope?
The dictionary definition for eloping is to run away secretly in order to get married, which seems very Romeo and Juliet. In our modern day to elope doesn’t necessarily mean that you run away in secret, instead it’s having a small intimate wedding at a destination of your choice with a handful of your closest family and friends. Eloping usually happens at a destination that is far from where you live that would be otherwise unrealistic for you to have a fully planned wedding at.
Elope in Ireland
Ireland is the perfect place to elope to. No matter what time of year it is, Ireland has so much beauty and romance to offer. Ireland is the land of a hundred thousand welcomes, and Irish people are known for their friendliness and hospitality. Even if you have never traveled to Ireland before, the country has a magical way of making you feel right at home, even if you are thousands of miles away from home.
Ireland has special locations to suit every couple. From gorgeous green rolling hills to seaside sand and rocks, and ancient ruins – there is a stunning place just waiting for you. Feel like a real life princess and get married in a beautiful old castle, manor or in an ancient chapel. There is beauty to be found in every corner of Ireland.

There are so many gorgeous places to explore in Ireland, you don’t need to travel anywhere else in the world for your honeymoon. After your wedding day, you are set to adventure out into the country and explore what it has to offer without the additional expense of flying to a different country.
Reasons Couples Choose to Elope
Weddings are beautiful, special days to remember but can be very costly and can cause a lot of stress. For couples who have divided family or family issues, it can become very stressful to plan your guestlist, eloping cuts your guest list for you. For couples who are more relaxed and don’t feel like the huge task of planning a traditional wedding are well suited to a small destination wedding. Eloping doesn’t mean that your wedding day will be less elegant or special, you can still choose to go “all out” from your dress to the food and the decor – just on a much smaller scale. Have your closest family, and possibly a friend or two join you for your special day, to help you create those beautiful memories that come with a traditional wedding. The real question is, why wouldn’t you want to elope? It seems to be the more romantic, intimate choice for our modern lives filled with busy, stressful days.
I hope that Ireland brings every couple as much joy and beauty as it brings it’s people. If you are choosing to elope or perhaps even choosing a destination wedding, Ireland is hands down one of the top locations in the world.
