Testimonials
David & Kiaran's 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 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.
​
If you are planning a wedding, we, without hesitation, recommend Daragh Doyle, Ireland Wedding Planner''.

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''.

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.''
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."
Guillermo & Sanders's Testimonial
''Daragh managed our wedding right from the beginning, visiting a number of venues with us and helping us to source the right venue for us.
His knowledge of Wedding venue’s was invaluable.
He then sourced all our service providers where again he had a great level of knowledge, and managed the whole process.
He meet with us in person on many occasions.
We had wonderful Wedding day right in the heart of Dublin city, and Daragh was there right until the end to ensure everything went to plan''.

Highland Radio in Ireland requested an interview with me (Daragh Doyle) about Rainbow Weddings to discuss the changes that have taken place across things like venues, wedding suppliers and Irish people in general, since the same-sex referendum. Listen to it HERE.
