Summer weddings, answered
When should we book a summer wedding venue?
As early as you can. Summer Saturdays at popular venues are often taken twelve to eighteen months ahead, so booking well in advance gives you the best choice of date and venue.
What is the weather like for a summer wedding in Ireland?
Summer gives the best odds of warm, dry weather and long evenings, but Irish weather is never guaranteed. The best-planned summer weddings still have a comfortable indoor or covered backup.
Are summer weddings more expensive?
Usually. Summer is peak season, so venue and supplier prices tend to be highest. Choosing a Friday, Sunday or midweek date in summer can bring the cost down.
