This is only relevant if you are having a legally binding wedding ceremony where your marriage will be registered in the Republic of Ireland. We are happy to assist you with this process.

Getting Married in Ireland, the Legal Requirements

Marriage application must be submitted more than 3 months in advance by post.

Please note that the 3 months period is considered only from the date your documents are officially accepted by the Registrar, not the date you first make contact with them. So please allow an extra month to gather and post copies of your documents, or longer if either partner has been previously married and divorced.

A Marriage registration fee is €200 and is payable directly to the Registrar at the time of submitting your notification (i.e. this fee is not included in your Wedding Package with us).

A Meeting with the Registrar is required at least 5 calendar days before you get married, in order to make the declaration and present original copies of your documents.

This meeting is required before a Marriage Registration Form (MRF) can be issued, which is then signed during the ceremony and exchanged for your marriage certificate.

Two witnesses over 18 years of age are required for your Irish wedding to be legally binding. If you’re eloping with just the two of you, without guests, then we can provide witnesses for you.
