Elopement & Wedding Packages

All-Inclusive Elopement &
Wedding Packages in Ireland

Designed for American & Canadian couples. One planner, one contract, zero international hassle.

Your Dream Irish Wedding

Planned from home.
Celebrated in Ireland.

Planning a wedding across the Atlantic should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Ladybird Ever After specialises in one thing: creating unforgettable elopements and intimate weddings in Ireland for couples travelling from the United States and Canada.

Every package below is truly all-inclusive. That means a dedicated US-based wedding planner, an expert Irish celebrant, award-winning photography, and full legal guidance — all managed through a single contract with pricing in US dollars. We handle every vendor payment, every foreign currency transfer, and every logistical detail so you can focus on each other.

Whether you picture yourselves exchanging vows on the dramatic Cliffs of Moher, inside the ancient ruins of Dunluce Castle, beside the serene lakes of Killarney National Park, or at a medieval castle ruin like Rahinnane — we have planned weddings at over 30 iconic Irish locations and know each one intimately.

Our packages range from simple elopements for two to full bespoke wedding celebrations with reception coordination, live music, and day-of management. Every package can be customised to match your vision, your guest count, and your budget.

“We live in Atlanta and had no idea where to start planning a wedding in Ireland. Ladybird Ever After handled absolutely everything — the legal paperwork, the venue, the photographer, even recommending the best pub for our post-ceremony pint. It was the most magical day of our lives.”

— Jessica & Kyle, married at Ross Castle, Killarney

The Enhanced Elopement — your love story, beautifully styled.

From $X,XXX / couple

Grá (meaning “love” in Irish) builds on the pure elopement with everything you need to feel camera-ready and completely pampered. Extended four-hour photography coverage means time for portrait sessions at a second location — imagine saying your vows at a castle ruin, then walking along the cliffs for sunset photos.

From $X,XXX / couple + guests

Sláinte (the Irish toast meaning “good health”) is where elopement meets celebration. Your dedicated wedding planner coordinates everything from ceremony logistics to your reception at one of Ireland's exceptional venues — whether that's a private dining room in a centuries-old castle, a cosy country house, or a lively Irish pub.

Six hours of premium photography captures your day from getting-ready moments through the reception. Your on-the-day coordinator ensures every vendor is in place and every timeline runs seamlessly.

  • Premium photography extended to 6 hours
  • On-the-day coordinator (separate from your planner)

From $XX,XXX / couple + guests

RíRá (meaning “great fun” in Irish) is our most complete package. Eight hours of photography captures your entire day. Live ceremony music — a harpist at a castle ruin, a traditional Irish musician on a clifftop — sets the tone. Additional styling for your wedding party means everyone looks as stunning as the scenery.

Yes! Ireland is one of the most welcoming countries in the world for international couples. There is no residency requirement, meaning you do not need to be an Irish citizen or live in Ireland to marry there. You will need to give three months' notice to the HSE (Health Service Executive) and provide certain documents. We handle all of this guidance as part of every package. Read our complete legal guide →
You will need a valid US passport, your birth certificate, and if applicable, a divorce decree or death certificate of a former spouse. You will also need to complete the notification process with Ireland's HSE at least three months before your ceremony date. Our team walks you through every step and reviews your paperwork before submission. Read our full documentation guide →
No, you don't need to decide immediately. We can start with a deposit to secure your date, which allows us to begin curating your journey while your vision naturally unfolds. Most couples refine their package choice during our planning calls as they learn more about what's possible.
Absolutely. Our packages are designed as a foundation — a robust canvas that handles the complex logistics of getting married in Ireland. From there, your celebration is fully bespoke, allowing for complete artistic customisation. Want to add a vintage car, a harpist, a private dinner in a castle? We make it happen.
Ireland is beautiful year-round and we plan elopements in every season. May through September offers the longest daylight hours (sunset can be as late as 10pm in June) and milder temperatures. Autumn and winter elopements have a dramatic beauty of their own — golden light, moody skies, and far fewer tourists at popular locations. Read our seasonal weather guide →
We've designed a seamless experience for North American couples with zero international admin. You will have one US point of contact, one US contract, and the ability to pay in USD via credit card. We manage all foreign currency transfers and Irish vendor payments so you can enjoy a completely stress-free planning process.
We recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance, especially if you have a specific date or popular venue in mind. However, we have successfully planned elopements in as little as 3 months. The key constraint is Ireland's legal requirement of 3 months' notice before the ceremony, so that is the absolute minimum timeline for a legal marriage.
No problem at all. While our tiers provide a starting point, we specialise in bespoke Irish weddings. If your party grows, we will provide a custom quote tailored to your guest count and your unique vision for the day. We've planned celebrations from 2 to 50+ guests.
We plan everything from two-person elopements to intimate weddings of 50+ guests. Our Sláinte, Ard, and RíRá packages include full reception coordination and wedding planning. Whether your celebration is a quiet ceremony on a clifftop followed by pints in a pub, or a formal dinner in a castle ballroom, we tailor the experience to your vision.
