All-in-one weddings are all the rage.
80% of couples in Ireland opt for an all-in-one approach to their wedding day, where they want their ceremony and reception to occur at the same location. One reason all-in-one wedding venues have risen in popularity so much is to avoid the transport emissions that comes from having the ceremony and reception in different places.
67% are opting to tie the knot in civil and secular ceremonies, with 13% choosing spiritual ceremonies. 20% would like to marry in religious services including traditional church settings.
