While our team doesn’t actually plan any weddings for a living, we all LOVE working in the wedding industry and talking about the latest trends. So for the month of love, we were wondering with all this industry knowledge our team has: What does their dream wedding look like?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Where is your dream wedding location?<\/b><\/h4>\n

We have hundreds of wedding venue customers with absolutely dreamy surroundings but in honour of playing fair our team kept it vague – it is now up to you to go find that dream location!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I would get married in the same location as my actual wedding – in the woods with the most amazing view.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019d get married in North Wales at my Grans with a river on one side and the woods on the other – I’m sickly nostalgic, but it’s like Narnia there.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019d go somewhere warm, with sun, sea and stunning scenery.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

My dream wedding location would be somewhere with an outdoor terrace and beautiful views. And sunshine!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Definitely in the UK – somewhere South East so easy for my large family but no specific location as we are all spread around quite a bit.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019d get married in the Countryside, surrounded by amazing views<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your venue doesn\u2019t have to have a spectacular view or scenery to be special. There are various different types of beautiful backdrops for photos like landscaped gardens, balconies, and historic doors to name a few. During your showround tour ask your wedding coordinator what they suggest – they will know their venue really well and will know the best spots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type of venue?<\/b><\/h4>\n

With hotel venues being the top choice for wedding venues in Ireland and the UK our team all chose alternative venue options for their dream weddings. If you are looking for a more informal or outdoor setting check with your venue\u2019s wedding coordinator about what can be done to make the reception more cosy and comfortable, like incorporating flower arches or playing with decor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019d go with something similar to our actual wedding as we loved an outdoor venue with a rustic, woodland vibe.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019d get married at the church where my parents and grandparents were married and then to a marquee in my grandma’s garden for a big old party!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Someplace rustic and informal. Somewhere that has the bar in the same room as the dancing, you want your guests to be all together but with break-out areas nearby. No grand ballrooms for me.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I prefer a country house with beautiful outside space and accommodation for everyone to stay and continue the party.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Other team members that kept it short and sweet said; the beach, a castle or country house or a barn venue.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Big wedding or small intimate celebration?<\/b><\/h4>\n

It looks like small weddings were a favourite for our team with 6 out of 8 saying they\u2019d prefer small intimate ceremonies over a big celebration\u2026 According to our 2023 Irish couples survey 36% of couples plan to invite between 101 and 150 guests and 24% plan to invite between 51 and 100 guests to their wedding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
