Winners Irish Wedding Venue 2026

Wedding venue platform SaveMyDay has revealed the 2026 winners of its annual Irish Wedding Venue Awards, recognising the wedding venues across Ireland that couples value most — as chosen by public vote.

In the lead-up to the awards, more than 700 newlyweds and engaged couples shared their experiences, voting for the venues that played a central role in creating their celebrations.

I am delighted to add that Leading Ceremonies has officiated at venues included in the list, or are booked to do so in the future! (applicable venues are linked).
