Welcome, Adventurous Souls
We’re Leeona (your planner and celebrant) & Tommy (your photographer and filmmaker). Together, we create, design, and document unforgettable elopement adventures across Ireland.
Whether you're dreaming of windswept cliffs, mossy forests, castle ruins, or secret beaches — you’ve just found your elopement dream team. This is your no-stress, all-magic, personalized guide to eloping in Ireland.

Why Elope in Ireland?
•Iconic scenery (think Cliffs of Moher, Glendalough, and secret waterfalls)
•Romantic traditions (handfasting, Celtic vows, Irish blessings)
•A relaxed pace where your love story is the only schedule that matters
•Adventure meets intimacy – all wrapped in wild landscapes and pub coziness

How to Elope in Ireland as an American (or Anywhere Abroad)
You can legally marry in Ireland — but it's a bit more complex than a U.S. courthouse:
•You need to apply at least 3 months in advance
•Hire a registered solemniser
•Your ceremony must occur at a legally approved location
•Witnesses and paperwork are required
Our tip? Most couples get legally married at home and celebrate symbolically here. It's easier and gives you more freedom for wild locations (like the Cliffs of Moher, remote beaches, or mountaintops).

When’s the Best Time to Elope in Ireland?
Our favorite months: May, June, September, and early October
They’re mild, green, and less touristy.
✅Long daylight hours (sunrise 5am, sunset 10pm)
✅Wildflowers & dramatic skies
✅ Drier seasons with cooler breezes
Don’t fear the rain — it adds atmosphere, depth, and incredible photos. We always carry blankets, umbrellas, and a backup plan.

Best Places to Elope in Ireland
•Cliffs of Moher (Clare) – Iconic, windblown wonder
•Gougane Barra (Cork) – A lakeside chapel wrapped in forest
•Glendalough (Wicklow) – Valley of two lakes + ruins
•Connemara (Galway) – Wild ponies, misty moors, and castle ruins
•Slieve League Cliffs (Donegal) – Less touristy than Moher, equally epic
•Dingle Peninsula (Kerry) – Beaches, mountains, and real Irish charm
And yes – we’ve got secret spots too. You’ll just have to come with us to find them 😉
