Smaller Venues And Eloping: How Covid Has Changed Irish Weddings

The traditional Irish wedding is iconic and it's usually a massive two or three day event involving everyone from your great aunty Mags to your entire GAA team. But, due to Covid-19, thousands of couples around Ireland have had to rethink how they're marking their big day. With current restrictions only allowing 6 guests to attend the ceremony, plenty of couples have decided to postpone, or even cancel, their wedding until things revert back to something a bit more normal. For lots of other couples, the restrictions have allowed them a bit more freedom to have the day that they really wanted all along. Clara Malone is a celebrant from Coastal Ceremonies and she joined Dermot and Dave to explain how weddings will change after Covid. Clara also revealed how many couples from around the world are choosing to elope to Ireland to have their dream day, including getting married at the Cliffs of Moher!   Photo: Jessica and Danilo Photography.
