Everyone is different.

Of course everyone will deploy their hard earned cash differently, some Brides may be getting their hair and makeup done by their family or friend an not need to hire a makeup artist / hair stylist, some couples may not want a photographer but they will want a videographer!

This is what led us to create the Irish Wedding Budget Calculator - It enables couples to easily input how they envision their special day to pan out and gives you an estimated budget at the end!

Some tips to help you save on the cost of your Wedding.

Shop Local.

We hear this one every day, however it’s still an under rated way of saving money, if you hire a local photographer, celebrant, band, singer, makeup artist, hair stylist and florist that’s about 15 people that don’t have to travel outide of their locality, no travel fees, reducing costs, point out to them that it’s local and see if you can get a bargain!

Take advantage of packages that suppliers have to offer.

Just like our very own unbeatable Wedding Photography & Videography Package, other suppliers more than likely have packages with multiple options available to save you money. You may be surprised to find out that these can be tailored to suit your needs.

Ask your friends & family for reccomendations.

This goes without saying, if your sister, cousin, friend or aunt recently got married and had a great team of suppliers then why not ask about them!.

Check reviews and research more.

Reviews don’t lie, if something looks cheap its probably too good to be true, check out every suppliers reviews.

Be flexible with the date of your Wedding.

Early to mid week Weddings offer huge savings accross the board from Venues & Suppliers, why not get married on a Tuesday?! Contrary to popular beleif It will be cheaper for your guests too if they’re staying over.

Bargain, Haggle, Negotiate!

You may find there is some finessing that can be done regarding price when talking to suppliers, you may not need their service for the entire day, it may only be needed for part of your day, chat to your supplier and see what you can work out.
