Daragh
Jessica & JB's (Carton House) Testimonial
Working with Daragh was such a great experience from day one. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable during the planning of the wedding.
He thought of things that I would have never thought to plan. But honestly, he really impressed me on the wedding day.
I would not have been able to do it without Daragh. He was so kind, calm, focused, and showed so much initiative for 13 hours straight!
He really made all the difference.
Without him, I would have been so stressed and would not have been able to enjoy the day like I did.
Thank you again Daragh x
Sophia & Bill (Ashley Park) Testimonial
Where to begin with Daragh?! My husband Bill and I started our wedding planning in November of 2024. Bill is from Kildare County while I'm American.
We've been living in New York the past few years and when he proposed, we decided Ireland would be the place for the wedding.
We didn't even know where to begin with planning a wedding abroad, and then we found Daragh. From our first conversation with Daragh he knew exactly what we were looking for.
We described our ideal venue and within 5 minutes of our conversation he recommended Ashley Park, our perfect location. From then on Daragh was there every step of the way.
He has great partnerships and relationships with incredible vendors, which made our lives so much easier when it came to planning.
Not only that, Daragh is a wonderful calming presence during a stressful time. He truly makes you feel like everything will be completely fine even when things are out of your control. For example, we had a last minute drop for one of our vendors right before the wedding. Daragh found and briefed an incredible replacement before we even knew anything was wrong.
He was truly a God send throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding. Daragh was such a pillar of support and on top of everything so my husband and I could really live in the moment and enjoy the day.
All in all, our wedding was the best day of our lives, which wouldn't have been possible without Daragh's partnership. From beginning to end, Daragh was there.
We could not recommend him enough to any other couples needing a planner!
Robert & Kaitlyn (Cloughan Castle) Testimonial
Planning an international wedding could have been incredibly stressful, but working with Daragh Doyle made the entire experience feel seamless, organized, and genuinely enjoyable.
From the very beginning, Daragh went above and beyond in every possible way.
Daragh was always accommodating with video calls across time zones, making us feel supported and connected throughout the entire planning process. He handled everything from incredible vendor recommendations and coordination to detailed week-of and day-of schedules that kept everything running perfectly.
What truly sets Daragh apart is how personally invested he is in his couples. He held regular meetings to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks, kept us on track without adding pressure, and somehow made the process feel calm and exciting at the same time.
On top of all of that, he also served as our celebrant, which made our ceremony feel even more personal and meaningful.
Every vendor he recommended was absolutely fantastic! Extremely talented, professional, and wonderful to work with. It’s clear he has built amazing relationships with the best people in the industry.
We honestly cannot imagine our wedding without Daragh. If you’re considering him as your planner, especially for a destination or international wedding, book him immediately. He is organized, thoughtful, kind, professional, and truly goes above and beyond for his couples.
We are endlessly grateful for everything he did to make our wedding so special.
Emily & Chad (dunluce Castle) Testimonial
Daragh was amazing.
His knowledge and guidance in helping us plan our wedding ceremony is what made it absolutely flawless.
Everything we wanted and needed he was able to make happen and coordinate for us. It was a huge relief to have Daragh handling all of the vendor and support elements for us directly.
He provided detailed plans and coordination info so we knew exactly what was happening, when it was happening, and who would be providing the various services.
He was extremely flexible and accommodating to everything we wanted and helped to ensure that everything was exactly how we wanted it.
Niamh & Danny (Dromoland Castle) Testimonial
We were lucky enough to have Daragh organise and celebrate our wedding at Dromoland Castle, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better experience.
From start to finish, Daragh took care of every detail — accommodation, venue, photographer, videographer. He provided us with contacts for everything else including the music, wedding cake etc — everything was perfectly arranged.
​
He made the whole process so easy and stress-free, and on the day itself he created the most beautiful, personal, and memorable ceremony.
Our wedding day was truly magical, and that is down to Daragh’s professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail.
​
We cannot recommend him highly enough.
If you’re looking for someone who will make your day incredibly special, Daragh is the person you need!
John & Kompal (BallyKeally House) Testimonial
Ingrid & Podge (Wilton Castle) Testimonial
Daragh was our wedding planner for our wedding in July 2024 and I couldn't say enough about how great he was.
He helped the day run so smoothly - from the morning, to the church to the reception. He is so knowledgeable and helpful. He recommended our various wedding vendors who were all top notch lovely people.
Daragh was anticipating any issues in advance and was keen for us to be able to fully enjoy our day. He helped us have our dream wedding, a relaxed fun day celebrating with all our nearest and dearest.
I would recommend Daragh to anyone.
TJ & Anne (BalleyKeally House Testimonial
We are based in the US, and we were lucky enough to find Daragh to help us plan our destination wedding in Ireland.
​
Daragh was incredible to work with- he recommended a perfect venue for us on the first attempt after learning the style and size of wedding we were looking to have- his relationship with Ballykealey House made coordination with the venue as simple as could be!
Daragh was patient with our requests as far as vendors go- he had a great list of vendors to choose from and was happy to do some research on new vendors that we had found on our own as well!
He worked with our vendors throughout the planning process and throughout the day of the wedding, ensuring that we were able to be fully present and focus on each other and our guests.
We couldn’t have been more pleased with the result- it was everything we were hoping for and so much more! We had a beautiful, worry-free wedding day that our family and friends were thrilled to be a part of.
We cannot recommend Daragh enough-thank you again!
Flan & Michael (Dublin City) Testimonial
Hiring Daragh as our month and day of coordinator was by far the best decision we made in our wedding planning.
Daragh is beyond sound and pleasant to be around and he is completely on the ball when it comes to communicating with suppliers and ensuring everything goes according to plan.
Daragh paid attention to every detail we provided him with in terms of how we wanted things to go on the day.
He was able to completely take charge and allow us to actually enjoy our day and be present rather than worrying about all the logistics in the background. The stress relief and peace of mind that Daragh provided us with for our special day was absolutely priceless.
We also just genuinely enjoyed his company, he is incredibly easy to get on with and just completely put us at ease.
Without Daragh all of our hard work planning our wedding would've just culminated in one stressful wedding day with us trying to manage everything and we would've never been able to enjoy all our hard work.
To anyone on the fence about hiring a month and day of coordinator, trust me when I say hiring Daragh truly was the best decision we made.
Cillian & Liz (Cliffs at Lyon) Testimonial
We loved having you be part of our family for Elizabeth and Cillian's wedding on July 19th.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I found Daragh Doyle through an Ireland wedding website, and it felt like striking gold, his name came up so many times as the person to hire.
He was outstanding in his role as our day coordinator for my daughter's wedding at Cliff at Lyons on July 19th. As soon as Daragh arrived, he jumped right in. Not only did he manage various small issues, but he
also gathered a group of chatty flower girls and junior ushers.
We had him running from one place to another, and he was incredibly easy to work with. He remained calm and composed, seamlessly navigating the day.
We planned the wedding entirely online and met with Daragh a few times over Zoom to discuss our various plans and vendors.
However, as anyone who has planned a wedding knows, unexpected bumps can arise despite the best-laid plans. Daragh expertly handled all of these challenges, making it feel as though He was part of our family.
If you hire Daragh as your day-of coordinator, I can assure you it will be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.
You won't be disappointed!
matthew & marta (Catholic church & Belverdere House & Gardens) Testimonial
Having Daragh as our wedding day coordinator was one of the best decisions we made!
He made the entire day stress-free, taking a huge weight off our shoulders.
From start to finish, Daragh managed everything seamlessly, ensuring that everything went according to plan and keeping us on schedule.
His calm and organized presence was incredibly reassuring, especially knowing that he was there to handle any unexpected issues (thankfully, none arose! which is likely due to Daragh's planning).
We were able to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about the details.
Daragh was truly a lifesaver, and we can't recommend him enough to any couple looking for a smooth, worry-free wedding day!
Natalie & Conor's Testimonial
‘’ Daragh is an incredible Wedding Planner.
We traveled from Denver, CO and our family & friends traveled from FL, NV, and NC. We stayed in the estate for two nights. Daragh helped us coordinate transportation for all our guests from Dublin to county Meath, as well as the rehearsal dinner at the local pub.
We met with Daragh over the course of a year on zoom to plan out every detail. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day.
From the rehearsal dinner from the venue, to the reception, it was truly a dream. My guests were all impressed by the estate and the staff at Loughcrew.
We really appreciated how often Daragh checked in on us during the day.
The vendors he selected exceeded our expectations. Everyone was just so kind and helpful and the estate had everything we could possibly need. We are so grateful to you Daragh, thank you again for everything''!!!!
Kieran & David Testimonial
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 personalized wedding day and ceremony that we wanted.
Daragh ensured that we had no stress throughout the whole process, even when there were 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 the 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 done 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.
If you are planning a wedding, we, without hesitation, recommend Daragh Doyle, Ireland Wedding Planner.

Daniel & Mikayla Testimonial
Daragh is the best! We had him as our wedding planner.
My husband and I highly recommend working with him! Not only did he save our wedding, but he exceeded our expectations throughout the whole process and made our wedding better than we could have imagined! He was caring, professional, efficient, and trustworthy and took the time to know us on a personal level.
Daniel and I originally had a venue booked in Headford for our September wedding, but there were too many red flags- so we had a few months to re-plan our entire wedding. We reached out to a handful of wedding planners, but after speaking with Daragh we immediately knew he was a good fit and we wanted to work with him. When we told Daragh about our situation he not only didn’t shy away but eagerly welcomed the challenge and assured us that we would still be able to have our dream wedding. We scheduled calls every few weeks or communicated via email to touch base on planning. After a few weeks, he found us the perfect venue at Slieve Aughty Centre, and he did a site visit ASAP to make sure the venue would be a good fit for our needs/ease our anxiety.
Once we secured the venue, he worked with our vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly (photographer, hair, DJ, florist, etc.). The day before our wedding he met with us at the venue and we spoke with the venue coordinator to go over last-minute details and answer any questions we may have had. On the day of our wedding, he was there bright and early checking up on Daniel and me, making sure that we had everything we needed. Daniel and I flew over from Florida, so I had brought over a guest book and little things I wanted displayed for our guests- I gave them to Daragh and he assured me they would be taken care of. As the day went on Daragh was moving things along in the background without making us feel rushed to get ready or to be anywhere at a certain time – we were on a schedule, but it didn’t feel like it. His presence and good cheer kept us and our guests at ease.. I remember walking back from our ceremony and seeing our guest book displayed on the table so perfectly- it made me smile. After the ceremony, he continued to speak with our guests while guiding people where they should be and helping the transition from ceremony to cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, etc. Several challenges arose such as the groom's suit arriving late from the dry cleaners, pouring rain and flooding, and a cat crashing our ceremony, but Daragh was able to adapt and overcome those obstacles.
Without Daragh, we wouldn’t have been able to relax and fully experience our wedding day. He offered tips throughout the planning process and the day of our wedding to make sure we got time to step away and take in all that was happening around us. He wanted us to have our dream wedding and he surely did deliver! Plus, our guests adored him!
Daragh, thank you so much for all that you did! It was a pleasure working with you. I know you will help many other couples have their dream wedding in the years to come!

Georgia & Burachi Testimonial
From the moment we met Daragh we knew he was the perfect person to coordinate our wedding. He not only had all of the contacts and rigorous efficiency, but he also just totally ‘got it’.
A home wedding is a mega task but Daragh made every moment so enjoyable and made complete sense. He knew where to allow more time, where we would inevitably lose time, and how to keep the show on the road regardless!
If anything went awry on the day, we certainly didn’t know about it. And Daragh went above and beyond to give us the best day of our lives. If he wasn’t seen organising the next step of the day, then he busy was pouring drinks, turning on lights and showing people where they needed to go. We couldn’t have done it without him, and we wouldn’t have wanted to either!
We owe our incredible day to him. He gave us the freedom to enjoy and relish every second of it. So much love and appreciation for him - he’s one in a billion!!
Georgia & Burachi (Home Wedding, Stepaside, Dublin, July 2023)
Will & Crystal's Testimonial
''Our wedding ceremony took place at St. Oliver Plunkett's Church Ruins and the reception was at Loughcrew House Estate. We came from the USA, NYC specifically. Daragh was quick to respond, via email and setting up calls, which was important to us, especially being from NYC where we want things done yesterday. We already had a wedding vision in mind, but Daragh was extremely helpful and gave great advice when it came to the normal wedding details, of which we did not have much experience or knowledge. Our wedding was unconventional due to the time of the ceremony being later in the evening.
Daragh really went out of his way for us- picking us up from Dublin and driving us to see the wedding venue. We also had buses transporting people from Dublin and different hotels to the wedding venue. Daragh stayed until 3:00 am to make sure people found the right buses when he was scheduled to leave at 10:00 pm! He's easy going, so he didn't stress us out at all, but at the same time, he's in control of all of the various parts he's orchestrating. We couldn't have done it without him!"

Stephen & EOIN's Testimonial
My partner and I had a fantastic wedding day and we both feel Daragh played a big part in making sure it went off without any issues. We first met Daragh in 2017 to initially plan our wedding and he provided great guidance and support during our early plans. Due to COVID we had to postpone the wedding twice but Daragh provided great insight and helped us move the day on both occasions seamlessly. We finally got married this Summer and Daragh helped execute the big day and was always present to make sure all the vendors knew what they had to do. We highly recommend Daragh to anyone looking for a wedding planner to help arrange everything but also to help make sure everything runs smoothly on the big day.

Elodie & Benoit's (Belgium) Testimonial
The best wedding planner in Ireland. Daragh is organizing everything you need. Super réactive. He immediately understood our expectations.
He organized our wedding exactly as we wished even if he only had one month to do it.
Locations, transport, ceremony, catering, photographs, music, planning …. Everything was at a high level. Even better as we expected.
If you need to plan your wedding don’t hesitate…. Daragh is the planner you need.
Thanks for everything Daragh. You made our dreams come true.
VAJAY & JENNIFER's (INDIA) Testimonial
Daragh planned every aspect of our Wedding and provided full on the day coordination. We had a very specific and somewhat limited budget.
This was one of the reasons we decided to engage a Wedding planner even though it may appear illogical with a limited budget, Daragh’s expertise helped to keep us within budget.
We had an amazing photo shoot in Dublin’s Phoenix Park. We got amazing feedback from our guests, many of whom had traveled from India. We can’t thank Dargh enough!

SHANE & KELI'S WICKLOW Testimonial
We had our Wedding at my Dad’s home place in Wicklow. At such a non traditional venue having a Planner & Co-ordinator is essential. You really need a planner and a Coordinator to pull it all together on the day and keep everything on schedule, and Daragh really did that.
He also made some tremendous service provider recommendations particularly with the catering, which is such a vital part of a Home Wedding, and really important to have someone with experience.

KYLE & AOIFE'S Testimonial
Daragh is top class. He was the wedding coordinator on the day of the wedding and the lead up. He was all over his brief and took so much work and stress of us in the build up.
Honestly it you’re looking for a coordinator, Daragh is the man!! Give him a buzz and you’ll see what I mean after a few minutes on the phone.

MIKE & SANDRA's Testimonial
Thanks to Daragh, Mike and I had a very special wedding day. He managed all the preparation, planning, problem solving and communication in his unassuming, easy going, empathetic, yet professional way. We knew from our first meeting with Daragh that he was passionate about creating the perfect wedding for us. His delivery was flawless. We are so happy that we had Daragh as our wedding planner.

joe & sadabh Testimonial
Daragh was our Wedding Planner at Inish Beg West Cork in April 2022.
Our parents could not stop talking about how amazing Daragh was.
He was on site from early morning and never stopped all day. He got involved in everything, including pouring drinks, he has no airs and graces, and is very much hands on as a Wedding Planner.
A lot of our guests also commented about Daragh’s involvement on the day which says it all.
Thanks so much for everything Daragh, you really glued the day together and we loved having you.

chris & vivian's Testimonial
We live in Abu Dabi, Chris is from Australia and i'm originally from Limerick. Planning a Wedding from abroad a Wedding Planning is essential. Daragh was in regular contact and arranged ongoing zoom consultations. The Wedding had to be rescheduled due to Covid and Daragh showed great flexibility. He did ana mazing job on the day and was very interactive.

Daniel & Eoin's Testimonial
''We went to Daragh late in the game when preparing the wedding ourselves became too stressful with increasing difficulties.
He came and removed the stress, he worked with all the suppliers we had worked with, had people he could work with if there was anything missing, smoothed any difficulties with suppliers, and was a pleasure to work with.
He was able to manage the time pressures, family, venue and all other issues in a way that meant our day went entirely smoothly and is still (to be a cliché) one of the best days of our lives. He made what was becoming a stress into such a pleasure.
He is worth every penny. We should have gone to him earlier. Highly recommended.''
Rob & Lorraine's Testimonial
''We had Daragh as our wedding planner for our wedding on the 15th December 2018. I can honestly say that Daragh was one of the nicest, professional, organised and understanding people we encountered during the process of organising our wedding.
He was diligent from the beginning, realistic and ensured we stuck to our budget. He was always available for phone calls and meetings when needed, which was especially important for us as we were planning our big day from London. He ensured we negotiated the best deal possible with our hotel and even went to extra mile in helping me choose my dress!
Daragh made every effort to ensure we were happy with the progress of events and particularly on the day of the wedding he made sure we did not have to stress about anything. He did a fantastic job making sure everything ran smoothly, including giving us a detailed schedule of the timing of the day itself. He helped us to make important decisions, deciding on things we needed to have and things we did not need to have on the day.
He also did a fantastic job as MC at our reception. We honestly could not recommend him enough!''
Daragh & Hannah's Testimonial
''We organised our wedding in Meath from London and Daragh was a massive help to us. As we hadn't gone down the hotel route for our venue it was great to have him look after the subtleties like PA systems, transport and bar staffing as well as coordinating all our other vendors in the run up to the wedding and on the day.
Daragh had lots of helpful suggestions on how to get our ideas to work. We would have been lost without him, we would definitely recommend''.
Dougie & Liz's Testimonial
''We had a surprise wedding last weekend. We invited our guests to our engagement party and with Daragh’s help turned it into our dream wedding. It took huge amounts of flexibility and foresight for Daragh to make everything happen when we hoped and that he did in spades. Thank you so much from an extremely grateful and happy couple''. Liz & Dougie
Mark & Niamh's Testimonial
''On the 31st of Aug we got married at what was described by our guests as one of the best Weddings they have ever been to. This wouldn't have been possible without the help, guidance and management of Daragh.
To say Daragh went above and beyond is an understatement, every granular aspect of the plan for the day was scrutinised and planned, and of course he was there to ensure everything ran smoothly.
We will never forget our Wedding day, and give our sincerest thanks to Daragh for making sure it was perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone''.
Barry & Niamh's Testimonial
''We planned on having a relaxed outdoors wedding in south county Dublin. Daragh Doyle was superb. He took all the hassles of co-ordinating the day away.
We found Daragh to be highly organised, professional, an excellent communicator and an absolute gent to deal with. In the run up to the wedding his professionalism, attention to detail and commitment to make our day really special took away any fears for how it was all going to run on the day.
We could not have had such a fantastic day without Daragh. We would not hesitate to recommend Daragh. From start to finish and execution on the day he was absolutely brilliant.
Thank you so much Daragh, you promised to leave no stone unturned and you certainly delivered on that promise''.
Anne & graine's Testimonial
"Daragh planned and conducted our wedding ceremony with exceptional professionalism and commitment, to the very final detail. No stone was left unturned to ensure our very special day went as smoothly as possible.
From start to finish, he personally made us feel so relaxed knowing that everything was under control. We would never have managed the degree of detail that he undertook.
He was like a family member, everyone loved him and felt his strength and energy throughout the whole time.
We cannot thank Daragh and his team enough. x."
