16 of the Best Wedding Planners in Antrim (2026 Guide)

What a wedding planner in Antrim actually costs

Honestly, most planners here quote packages rather than day rates — full planning, partial planning, and on-the-day coordination as the three tiers, roughly in that order of cost.

My honest advice: ask what's INCLUDED at each tier. Some Antrim planners include venue visits and vendor negotiation in full planning; others charge them as extras. Get the package list in writing before you fall in love with anyone.

And for the destination specialists on this list — Alise Taggart, Pam Barrack, Eloping in Ireland — ask early about legalities. Marrying abroad has paperwork, and a planner who owns that paperwork is worth their fee alone.

Book nine to eighteen months out for summer Saturdays. Weddings by Dearbhaile's calendar especially — thirty five-star reviews don't leave many gaps.

Belfast city or Causeway Coast?

One thing I tell every Antrim couple: decide your setting FIRST, then pick the planner who's strongest there.

Belfast city weddings are venue-and-vendor logistics — hotels, city suppliers, tight load-ins. The Causeway Coast is weather permits, outdoor ceremonies, guest transport along the coast road. They're honestly two different jobs.

Ask every planner on your shortlist: how many weddings have you run in MY setting? The answer separates the list quickly. And umm — visit your venue on a wet Saturday before you sign anything. The coast is breathtaking in sunshine and a different animal in rain.
