What to Expect for Your Ireland Elopement

What to Expect for Your Ireland Elopement

Planning an elopement from abroad can feel like trying to build a day you've never lived in a place you've never been.

That's exactly why you don't need more Pinterest boards, you need a framework that makes sense in real Irish weather, real Irish light, and real Irish places.

And I promise: it can be easy if you let it. (And work with someone who makes it easy.)

Can you do this on your own?

Some of you have been to Ireland before and know exactly what you want and how to do it. 

But most folks planning a destination elopement without this kind of support end up spending weeks sorting through travel blogs, “top 5” lists, and conflicting advice; stressing over details; and worrying about missing something because they don’t know what they don’t know.

This is...whatever the opposite of that experience is.

Usually, folks planning a destination elopement without this kind of support end up spending weeks or months sorting through travel blogs, “top 5” lists, and conflicting advice; stressing over details; and worrying about missing something because they don’t know what they don’t know.

This is...whatever the opposite of that experience is.

here's how it works:

Maybe. But most couples don't want to spend months trying to become Ireland experts.

01
You don’t need a plan, a spreadsheet, or even a clear picture yet. If you know you this is what you want, that's enough.

On our video call, we’ll take what feels like loose daydreams and shape them into  a real, workable plan, including your elopement location (!!). Which, excuse me, is a very big deal and very exciting.

I know it can feel a little weird scheduling a call with someone you've never met, but that's the point! Getting to know each other a wee bit (hi, I'm a real person, not AI. And I promise I don't bite)

You'll leave the call with:

  • A short list of tailored location options that fit your vision
  • A clear sense of the kind of elopement you want
  • A realistic idea of possibilities
  • Next steps that feel easy

Step 01: we talk

How We'll Make it Happen

Your Ireland Elopement experience

Once you’ve chosen your date and locations, it’s just two steps:

  1. Sign the contract
  2. Pay your retainer (€1k)

That’s it. No extra hoops. From this moment, your date is booked, and I’m all yours.

Step 02: booking
(super easy)

02

Art takes time and intention, and that's why I have a specific approach to planning.
 
We start from the locations you’ve chosen, then layer in rituals and details until it becomes a complete experience. You won’t be handed a giant checklist and told to figure it out. I’ll guide you through decisions in the right order, at the right time.

Everything you need will be laid out for you in a location guide. You’ll also get check-ins and planning emails as we go.

Step 03: we shape your elopement

03

By the time your elopement arrives, everything will be sorted. You'll know where you're going and when, and you won’t have to watch the clock.

I'll guide you through the day, handling timing and pivots, and we'll move at your pace. You'll say your vows in stunning landscapes, explore Ireland, and actually get to take it all in instead of rushing through a checklist.

Step 04: you elope in Ireland (!)

04

"Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! I felt at ease/seen through the whole Ireland elopement process and the results?! I can’t stop staring at the pictures"

The day itself is just the beginning.

In a few days, you’ll have a preview gallery to share with friends and family. Within 6 weeks, the full story arrives in your gallery: images that feel like memories, not just documentation.

And if you choose an album, that’s the final chapter: holding your elopement in your hands.

Step 05: relive it forever

"Rachel is the BEST! We felt totally at ease during the process and the whole experience felt very personal and thoughtful."

Frequently
Asked
Questions

We literally have nothing planned yet... +
Would you believe that about 98% of my couples start exactly where you are? Having a blank canvas to work with is a good thing! Let's chat about it—I do free consultations before booking, no strings attached. They're a chance for us to see if we're a good fit and do some tangible planning together.
What kind of planning support do you offer? +
While I'm not a traditional wedding planner, I do quite a lot of planning, just modified for elopements, in my own particular way. I help you choose your perfect location, shape an itinerary around it, and keep everything running smoothly on the day itself. I'm also here for all your questions and general consulting throughout the process.

(The main difference? While I'll absolutely connect you with vendors I know and trust, I don't book them directly. This gives you the freedom to create the experience that's right for you. I make suggestions, but you're the ones who'll be making all the decisons.)
Can we invite guests? +
Of course! Eloping doesn't mean you have to be alone (though many of my couples love that option). I generally cap groups at 6-8 guests, depending on your package and plans. Your elopement should focus on you and your love — not managing a small crowd's worth of opinions is one of the perks.
How do you support neurodiverse couples? +
As an autistic ADHDer myself, everything I do comes from a place of understanding. I've built several accommodations right into the standard experience, and I'm always happy to work with you to add any other support you need.
Can we do [insert our idea here] for our elopement? +
Most of the time? Absolutely. I'm here to support your vision, whatever that might be. That said, I'll always be straight with you if something won't work quite the way you're imagining. My priority is giving you the best possible experience, even if that occasionally means suggesting an alternative.
How do we book you? +
Super easy:
1. Send me a message
2. We'll chat about what you're looking for and choose your elopement location
3. Once you've chosen your location(s), just sign the contract and pay the retainer

That's it, you're booked!
How far in advance should we book? +
The earlier the better, my darlings. More planning time means a more relaxed experience for everyone. I'm currently booking 2026/2027 and typically book 6-12 months in advance.

Ready to Experience it Yourself?

You don’t need a timeline, “the spot”, or even a clear plan yet. Just the sense that Ireland is calling you (and that you want an elopement that makes sense for you).

Let’s start with a conversation. It’s totally free, and I won’t whip out a contract on the call or anything. We’ll chat about your elopement dreams, and you’ll walk away with the relief of knowing this is possible, and that you don’t have to figure it out alone. 

I’ll be in touch by email to set up your consult call! That call is where we talk through what you’re drawn to, answer your questions, and start turning this into a real plan, including choosing the place(s) where your elopement could happen (!!)

There’s no pressure to sign a contract or anything on the call. It’s a chance to feel things out together and see if this feels like a good fit.
