FAQ's

What is the average capacity for a small or intimate wedding venue in Munster?

Intimate wedding venues in Munster typically cater for guest lists ranging from 20 to 80 people. Many historic houses, boutique hotels, and exclusive-use country manors specialise in these smaller numbers, ensuring a personal and cosy atmosphere for your celebration.

Are there exclusive-use small wedding venues available in Munster?

Yes, Munster has a wonderful selection of exclusive-use venues perfect for intimate weddings. This option grants you and your guests private access to the entire property, including the grounds and accommodation, for the duration of your booking, offering ultimate privacy and a truly bespoke experience.

Do I need a wedding planner for a small wedding in Munster?

While not essential, a planner can be invaluable. Many intimate venues in Munster have their own experienced wedding coordinator included in their packages. They can help manage suppliers and ensure the day runs smoothly, allowing you to relax and enjoy the celebration with your guests.

What are some unique ideas for an intimate wedding in Munster?

Munster's landscape offers incredible opportunities. Consider a ceremony on the Cliffs of Moher, a reception in a cosy, fire-lit pub in Dingle, or a gourmet dining experience in a historic castle in County Tipperary. A smaller guest list often allows for more unique and personalised activities.

How far in advance should we book a small wedding venue in Munster?

Even for a small wedding, it's advisable to book your preferred venue 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for popular summer dates or weekend bookings. For off-season or weekday weddings, you may find more flexibility with a shorter lead time of around 6 to 9 months.

Can we get legally married at any intimate venue in Munster?

For a legally binding ceremony, the venue must be registered and approved by the HSE. Many dedicated wedding venues in Munster hold a license for civil ceremonies. Always confirm the venue's status directly with them and check the HSE's requirements for giving notice, which must be done at least three months prior to your wedding date.
