Wedding Venues Dublin; Dublin Registry Office Wedding

Not everyone wants a huge wedding with a lot of guests and a long to do list. I've had countless couples over the past few years who are looking for a more low key wedding with less guests and more time to enjoy their big day. So they chose the Dublin registry office.

It has a fantastic location right next to the canal and within walking distance of Merrion Square and the rest of town. There are so many opportunities for cool photos nearby so I'm always glad when someone asks me for Registry Office wedding photography.

So what do you need to know to get married in Dublin Registry Office?

First of all Register your marriage.

First you need to get in touch with the HSE to inform them of your intent to marry and you'll need to give them a minimum of three months notice before the big day.

And don't forget that all important green folder on the big day!
