Requirements for a legal wedding in Ireland

Many couples choose to get legally married in their home country first, before eloping to Ireland to have a Symbolic Ceremony. Ceremonies can be held at Sea View House, along the Cliffs of Moher, or by the coastline. The ceremony can be carried out by an Officiant, Celebrant, Celtic priest, Monk or Family friend. However, it is relatively straightforward to get legally married here in Ireland. The Irish marriage licence is valid internationally. We can assist you in arranging a celebrant who is licensed to carry out the Irish legal wedding ceremony (Solemniser).

Three Months Notification

You must register your intent to marry at least three months before your wedding date. You will need to register an intent to marry with any Registrars' Office in Ireland if you wish to become legally married in Ireland. You must also provide the Registrars' Office with copies of your legal documents (see list below).

The 5 Day Rule

Applies if you send in you are registering your intent to marry from outside Ireland You must present all your original documents in person at the same Registrars' office at least five days before your Irish wedding (or a lesser number of days with the agreement of the Registrar) before the ceremony.
