Congratulations you are getting married. What do you do next?
Step 1. State Notice
For a legal marriage in Ireland, every couple must Register *Your Intent To Marry with the HSE at least 3 months prior to your wedding date.
A fee of €200 is payable to the state registrar for “Notification of your intention to marry”. Full details of the registration process are available on the *HSE Website.
Step 2. Book your Venue
In choosing your venue remember that for legal solemnising your venue must have an identifiable address and be open to the public. Your ceremony can be outdoors providing the venue meets these criteria.
So in short, you cannot get legally married in your parents back garden, your favourite park, beach or your granny’s beautiful big house !!!!
