What couples ask
The questions you are probably already asking.
There are more ways to plan an Irish wedding now than there have ever been. More venues, more suppliers, more opinions. It can be a lot to weigh up on your own, especially from thousands of miles away. Most couples reach a point where they just want someone honest and knowledgeable to talk to.

From a Client
We didn’t need another person telling us what colour the flowers should be. We needed someone who knew our venue inside out and could build a timeline that actually worked. Emma was our clarity.

23 years inside Irish weddings
“After filming 1,500 weddings, you stop noticing the décor. You start noticing the things nobody warned the couple about.”
I have spent 23 years behind the camera at over 1,500 weddings across Ireland. That has given me something no brochure can, I know how venues really run, which suppliers genuinely deliver, and where best laid plans tend to fall apart.
