Real Luxury Weddings in Ireland
1) Castlemartyr Estate - David & Kieran from Sydney, Australia
Kieran and David met in a bar on Oxford Street in Sydney one Saturday night in July 1995. Their eyes met across a crowded bar.
They started to chat and then moved on to a local cafe for a late-night snack, where they got to know each other a little.
At the end of the night, they exchanged telephone numbers. Kieran tells me he intended to wait and see if David would call
him. As it turned out, David called the next day, and they arranged to meet a few days later. Over time they committed to each other and gradually built a life together.
Over the years, Kieran and David talked about getting married, especially after Australia saw sense and finally introduced marriage equality. A bone of contention between them was who would propose – they tell me that they can both be stubborn.
Eventually, David patience won out; Kieran popped the question in February 2022 while they were enjoying a romantic getaway in Mudgee, a picturesque town in rural New South Wales.
As Kieran and David shared news of their engagement, where they would marry was asked and often answered in a single word – Castlemartyr!
They had holidayed at Castlemartyr many times over the years, with David being originally from Cork, they returned to Ireland regularly over the years.
And so they gathered with their nearest and dearest at the luxurious Castlemartyr in September 2024 to celebrate their dream Wedding.

DAVID & KIERAN'S TESTIMONIAL FOR IRELAND WEDDING PLANNER
Dear Daragh,
If you are looking for a wedding planner, go with Daragh Doyle.
The success of our wedding owes a great deal to Daragh as he ensured we had the personalised wedding day and ceremony that we wanted.
Daragh ensured that we had no stress throughout the whole process, even when there issues, including one at the last minute. Daragh dealt with everything and ensured that in the lead up to the wedding, and on the day itself, we were relaxed and stress free - other than the expected nerves before the ceremony, but even then he ensured we had some time and space for ourselves.
Over the course of 18 months, Daragh guided us through all stages of the planning process for what turned out to be perfect wedding for us. His sound advice based on extensive experience made each stage of the planning process so easy for us. Daragh listened to what we wanted, and then gave us options to choose from - he understood that this was our wedding and we could have what we wanted, not what he or others expected. As we live in Australia, all of this was doing via Zoom meetings and we had complete trust and confidence in Daragh’s advice. He was responsive to emails, and scheduled regular meetings to update us on progress and plan the next steps etc. Working with Daragh was always a positive experience.
In addition to being our wedding planner, Daragh also officiated at the ceremony and married us. This only added to the personalised service that Daragh provided. After the wedding, our guests all commented on what a great job Daragh did during the ceremony itself, and how he ensured it was a warm, inclusive and personal ceremony.
If you are planning a wedding, we, without hesitation, recommend Daragh Doyle, Ireland Wedding Planner.
