The 54 Best Wedding Planners in Ireland (2026 Guide)

What wedding planners cost in Ireland — honestly

Irish planners mostly quote packages, not day rates: full planning, partial planning and on-the-day coordination, roughly in that order of cost. Published prices are rare — Finnella Weddings' from €125 is the honest exception on this list, so make everyone else give you a written package breakdown before you shortlist.

Ask what's NOT included: venue visits, vendor negotiation and rehearsal time are extras with some planners and bundled with others. And confirm travel — several names here serve the whole island, but some charge for it outside their home county.

Book nine to eighteen months out for summer Saturdays. The top-reviewed names — Dearbhaile especially — fill first.

Dublin, or somewhere greener?

Dublin has the deepest bench — twenty names on this list — but county planners bring something the capital can't: venue relationships on their home turf. West Cork's coastal logistics, Donegal's wild Atlantic planning, Kerry's venue knowledge — these are genuinely local crafts.

My honest rule: if your venue is rural, shortlist the nearest county planner FIRST. Ask them how many weddings they've run at your venue or one like it. The good ones light up at that question.

And umm — whatever you do, visit the venue on a wet Saturday before you sign anything. This island tests every wedding plan eventually.
