Why We Love the Cliffs of Moher

If you’re dreaming of a windswept ceremony on the edge of the world, the Cliffs of Moher deliver - every single time.

Towering 700 feet above the Atlantic Ocean in County Clare, the cliffs are one of the most awe-inspiring places to get married in all of Ireland (or anywhere else). Crashing waves, dramatic skies, endless sea - and a kind of raw, emotional energy that just doesn’t translate through photos (though we try).

Ceremonies here feel cinematic, grounding, and completely unforgettable. There are lesser-known spots along the cliffs that offer privacy and beauty - and we’ll guide you to the perfect one based on weather, light, and the vibe you’re after.

The cliffs are ceremony-friendly and can comfortably host up to 40 guests. There’s a backup location on site, and while a venue fee applies, no additional permits are required for small, private elopements. Parking is nearby, and most ceremony spots are only a short walk away.

We recommend planning between April and October, with May and September offering especially stunning sunsets. West coast weather is famously unpredictable - fog, sun, mist - but we keep flexible backup options ready to go.

This place is unforgettable, not just because of the view - but because of what it makes you feel.
