Getting married in Ireland

In 2015, Ireland became the first country in the world to approve marriage equality by popular vote. It’s a meaningful place for a queer wedding, and couples from abroad can marry here too.

The legal bit

Give at least 3 months’ notice to a civil registration service. You’ll get a Marriage Registration Form, which you hand to your solemniser. Civil ceremonies need two witnesses over 18. The notification fee is €200.

Coming from overseas

If you live outside Ireland, you can give notice by post, but you’ll still need to meet the registrar at least 5 days before the wedding to sign a declaration. Foreign nationals may be interviewed as part of the process.

Choosing your ceremony

Your solemniser can be a registrar, a religious celebrant or a secular solemniser, including humanist celebrants. Our couples have even added handfasting and Pride smoke bombs.
