Get startedBudget Tips for Irish Weddings
Practical advice to help you make the most of every euro.
Watch for Hidden Costs
Corkage fees, service charges, overtime rates, and VAT can add 15-20% to quoted prices. Always ask for an all-inclusive figure.
Keep a Contingency Buffer
Set aside 5-10% of your budget for unexpected costs. Last-minute changes and forgotten extras are more common than you think.
Venue Is Your Biggest Lever
Venue and catering typically take 35-45% of the budget. Choosing a mid-week date or off-peak season can save thousands.
Book Early for Savings
Popular Irish vendors book out 12-18 months ahead. Early booking often means better rates and more availability.
Prioritise What Matters to You
Spend more on what you'll remember, whether that's a brilliant band, stunning photos, or incredible food. Cut back on the rest.
Negotiate and Compare
Get at least three quotes for each vendor. Many Irish suppliers are open to packages or off-peak discounts if you ask.
