The best day! Like so many other couples this year, in March we were faced with the decision to postpone our June wedding. We knew we still wanted to do the legal part and as we were looking into the options, I came across Stephen's page on Facebook, Eloping in Ireland. We knew almost instantly this was something we would love to do. We contacted Stephen and booked a date, which we had to reschedule again; however, we were so lucky to be able to go ahead with our wedding in August on the Cliffs of Moher surrounded by our families. Stephen was fantastic to deal with, he was responsive to my many queries, built a package around what worked for us and put us in touch with excellent suppliers. The day itself was amazing, I have no words to describe it. It was seamless. From the hair and makeup, to the car hire, the photographer, videographer, celebrant and the amazing location. It was stress free. For any couple who are faced with the situation that we were, of not having the dream wedding you planned this year, having to reduce numbers (we were having 220, reduced to 10), but still want to go ahead and something different and memorable, I couldn’t recommend Stephen, his service and his team enough. We had the best day of our lives in arguably the most beautiful place in the world and we would not change a thing! Cathy & Dave Duffy x

Ireland Elopement My husband and I decided to get married in Ireland and didn't know where to start. Thankfully, we found Stephen and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. Stephen helped us book a location, photographer, videographer, harpist, florist, hairstylist, and officiant. All of the vendors we worked with were amazing and it was the most magical day. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking to get married in Ireland!

My husband Matt and I recently did an elopment at Hag's Head. Stephen helped us find the perfect celebrant, photographer, videographer, harpist, and florist to make our ceremony special. Everything turned out beautiful and ran smoothly thanks to all of Stephen's help! I highly recommend working with Eloping in Ireland if you are planning a ceremony because of the great location options, connections to fantastic vendors, and wonderful service!

Words cannot express the incredible experience David and I had eloping to Ireland and with the guidance and help of Eloping In Ireland our day was simply perfect.. Stephen is a true professional and recommended the BEST of the Best of vendors in Ireland. He went out of his way to ensure everything was exactly as we wanted. Everything was spot on and perfect. I would only recommend Eloping in Ireland if you are considering getting married in Ireland!

We eloped earlier this fall, and Stephen and his team went above and beyond expectations. We had a fantastic day getting married on the boat at the Cliffs of Moher - truly breathtaking. Everyone made us look and feel phenomenal, from the florist, hair & makeup team, the photographer and videographer (and the whole crew who were aboard for the ceremony). We couldn't have had a better wedding day, and we were so excited when we got the photos and video to show everyone back home. I highly recommend Eloping in Ireland!

Best choice ever! We are from Germany and we decided to go to Ireland for our renewal wedding after 25 years. From our first contact to Stephen, we knew, to chose him as our wedding planner was the best decision ever. He was incredible in communication, support, finding the best suppliers (we loved them all), give us the right advices about locations, weather, time schedule, decoration, answered our numerous questions with patience and honesty. As wedding photographers we would love to work with him, it´s a pity, that Ireland is not around the corner...;-) Our day exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much! And keep going your wonderful work! ? Love, Silke & Chris

I honestly don't think we would have been able to have an Irish wedding without Eloping in Ireland! Stephen was amazing at every stage of the process. He was always so prompt with responding to questions, really reducing my anxiety levels. Even with the Irish weather, the wedding was absolutely beautiful beyond my dreams and I love looking back through the wonderful photos from the day. None of which wouldn't have been possible without all of the vendors through Eloping in Ireland.

Stephen was so wonderful and gracious in helping us plan our elopement in Ireland. I cannot say enough good things about him. He was fast to respond to emails and recommended amazing vendors for the day that we enjoyed getting to talk with and their great services. Working with Stephen was hassle-free and he was great with local recommendations to stay at and sights to see. I highly recommend using Stephen and Eloping in Ireland if you are considering getting married in Ireland. The vendors that Stephen recommends are carefully chosen and top notch. I would love to use his services again for a vow renewal ceremony in the future!

My fiancé and I got a crazy idea to get married in Ireland. We are both from CT in the United States, so I knew that this would be a little tricky. After some quick googling I found Stephen. From the beginning he was wonderful. Responded to each and everyone of my emails (which let me tell you was quite a few!) in a timely manner. From the recommendations to the celebrants (Yvonne Griffin was amazing) to hair (Anne Stackpoole was lovely) the makeup artists (Deirdre and her staff at body treats)and the amazing photographer Philippe Gosseau the reception dinner at the Cliffs of Moher Hotel and our bus driver. Everything was seamless! It was a little difficult planning this from 3,000 miles away, but Stephen came through and everything was absolutely beautiful. The dinner was fabulous. Photographer was so easy to work with and just sent us a beautiful gallery. The day honestly couldn’t have been more perfect and it was all thanks to Stephen’s wonderful planning and vendors that he works with. I would highly recommend using Stephen if you’re thinking about eloping in Ireland.

Megan & Adam - May 4, 2019 We had this crazy idea to get married in Ireland. We live in Los Angeles, California. How hard could it be? Answer - Not hard at all...if you have the right people. Stephen delivered on EVERYTHING we asked for, and had some amazing ideas and tips to boot. On top of an eight-hour time difference and a type-A first time bride, everything went seamless. Every vendor was top of their game. Every location was stunning. Every suggestion was perfect. Eloping, small wedding, even large weddings, reach out to HelpPlanMyWedding.ie - they are in a class all by themselves and set the example for how wedding planning should be handled. If you're torn on who to use, trust me, Stephen's professionalism and knowledge of the area and the industry are invaluable. Take the stress out of the day and go with them. You won't regret it. We're so happy we found this company. We will forever hold Ireland in our hearts and are thankful that Stephen helped us plan the most magical wedding that we will never forget.

My husband and I eloped in Ireland in April 2019 and I stumbled upon Stephen's services and immediately contacted him. He responded in a timely manner, was very professional, and always available when I needed him! He did such a great job organizing everything and his hair, makeup, photography, florist, and minister he works with are all great! I was nervous about not having a hair and makeup trial but everything came out AMAZING!!! I cannot thank you enough Stephen for a wedding my husband and I will NEVER forget. If we had to do it all over again we would chose Stephen every time! Thank you thank you thank you!

My wife and I had already booked our trip to Ireland by the time I proposed. Our initial plan was to have the wedding next year, but we quickly became overwhelmed with the planning. My wife had the brilliant idea to get married while on our trip, and bypass any further headaches that come with planning a wedding. Then she found Stephen with Help Plan My Wedding by searching online for a wedding planner in Ireland. From then on everything seemed to fall in place. We gave Stephen a month and a half to plan a dream elopement for us, and we could not have been happier with the results. His responses were prompt and he was extremely easy to work with. He tried to accommodate our every request, but remained honest and realistic when we had been a bit fanciful. He was extremely helpful in regards to the legal aspects of our getting married in Ireland, and what options we had. Not only was Stephen a joy to work with, but so was the team he assembled for the ceremony. We were completely at ease, and enjoyed our time with these fine folks. I know that not everyone can say the same about their special day. Should a couple chose to work with Stephen, I can guarantee they will not regret it. Five out of five stars all around!

Stephen was great! He took time to speak with me and arrange all the details of our wedding day! Stephen went above and beyond when on the day before our wedding at 3pm on a Sunday I decided I would like a driver for our wedding the next day. Stephen made it happen! And our driver was awesome! He provided us with so much information about the history of Ireland. Stephen finding that driver last minute made our day PERFECT!

Stephen was also so responsive, and lovely to work with. He helped us find the most spectacular photographer to capture our day of pictures. He also introduced us to our unforgettable celebrant Pat, who we'll be in touch with for many years to come as a new friend. Highly recommend this service if you are looking to wed abroad.

We got married in Dubrovnik in Croatia. We obviously had very little experience or any idea what we needed to do for our wedding. But from the moment we got in contact with Stephen he couldn't have been more help to us. He talked us through what was necessary and put us in contact with a range of suppliers, all of whom were top quality. It took so much stress out of the whole build up to the wedding and made our day so special for us. We really could not recommend him highly enough.

Planning our Irish wedding from the US was a challenge. There were several key vendors I was having difficulty locating, which is where Stephen stepped in. He helped us to find excellent musicians, wonderful local flowers and a cake, and helped us to navigate a few unplanned logistical challenges that arose. Stephen was prompt in every email response and helpful. Would definitely recommend his services!

Every one of the suppliers Stephen recommended were just brilliant. I hate to single anyone out but in particular our babysitter, Stefano, was amazing! He won over our little girl straight away and kept her busy and happy during the ceremony and for all the photos too. We really couldn't have asked for anyone better! All the others, Debra, Louise (was like a surrogate big sister on the day), photographers Chiara and Massimilano, Nicholas the celebrant and not forgetting Andrea our chauffeur, were all perfect, professional and easy to work with. The Hotel Forum was beautiful, both in terms of location and the beautiful meal that evening. It's a pretty upmarket kind of place but they didn't flinch at the sight of us arriving back at 7pm with a tired two year old who would eat only the contents of the bread basket! Just the opposite in fact. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. All in all we were thrilled with our day and holiday to Rome and we're so grateful for Stephen's help with sourcing suppliers. We wouldn't have known where to start and he took all the stress out of our wedding planning.

My wedding was beautiful over in Lanzarote and I'm so happy that Stephen recommended that particular hotel.

I thought that because my husband and I were eloping we wouldn't need a planner. I was wrong and I am so glad we went with Stephen. Every person he recommended was spectacular. Our photographer, our celebrant, and my makeup artist, were all everything I could have asked for. And Stephen had awesome recommendations on ceremony locations as well. Whether you're planning a wedding from Ireland or outside the country I would highly recommend Stephen to any bride and groom.

I used Help Plan My Wedding to plan my wedding abroad and I would definitely recommend them. They saved me a lot of stress and ultimately money. They found me my dream wedding venue and all the suppliers I required. They also did all the haggling on my behalf and got me great prices. I bombarded them with questions during the planning period and they were always quick to respond. They only charged €350 for their services and I definitely saved 4-5 times that amount with the deals they negotiated for me. My friend is using them now to help her plan her wedding in Ireland. I'll be recommending them to everyone else I know getting married in the future.
