on the beautiful Aran Islands
The Aran Islands is the perfect destination for a wedding venue in Ireland, from intimate to extravagant, traditional to unexpected. The Aran Islands offer breathtaking wedding receptions which create an unforgettable wedding experience that is uniquely yours and one that your guests will never forget.
The Venue
The Aran Islands are among the most beautiful Irish wedding venues in the world. Inis Mór, the largest of the islands, is the perfect romantically rugged setting for striking photographs of your big day. Our island has many golden and stony beaches teeming with flora and fauna, miles of ancient stone walls, a breathtaking wedding backdrop, mystical ecclesiastic ruins and forts and traditional Irish pubs!
Weddings at the Aran Islands Hotel, Inis Mór are like no other. Your loved ones get to embrace the island way of life, disconnect from daily stresses and immerse themselves in genuine quality time. As you may well know, a true Irish wedding is all about the Craic & Ceoil (fun & music in Irish) and what better place to experience it than our rugged Island in the centre of the Wild Atlantic Way.

You leave your busy life behind you as you step onto the boat and are whisked away to another world on Inis Mór. You can unwind, re-connect and spend quality time with your loved ones, while celebrating in style.
The Ceremony

Some couples choose a bespoke wedding ceremony in our stunning extended marquee with full length windows giving you the perfect backdrop for your traditional, Celtic, civil, humanist or romantic enchanted wedding ceremony Ireland.
Dara Molloy is a local Celtic Priest & Monk living on Inis Mór, who can marry couples legally and is a preferred choice for couples looking for something different and very personalised. Dara specialises in symbolic Celtic Ceremonies at the hotel or at your chosen location on the island.
The Food
We all know the three pillars of a memorable wedding are; Food, Music and the craic. Inis Mór is renowned for the Craic & Ceoil (Fun & Music) but a little know fact is the passion held by locals for sourcing the freshest local produce, that showcases the outstanding quality and variety of the area’s seafood and organically grown vegetables. We lovingly prepare a feast for your guests using locally produced, seasonal and authentic food in our award winning restaurant.
The Accommodation
Our newly extended accommodation is the talk of the island… it has been christened ‘The Village’ by locals! The Village @ The Aran Islands Hotel is a collection of Seaview Bedroom Chalets with island and seaviews. Each chalet has a large glass front that opens up onto a decking area with outdoor furniture, so that you can breathe in the fresh air Inis Mór is famous for.
Balcony rooms are available in the hotel and all accommodations include a tasty breakfast each morning. Our honeymoon suite offers breathtaking views over the bay and harbour, making it the ideal setting to sit back and enjoy the serenity, beauty and hospitality of one of Ireland’s last remaining secret havens and more importantly to be one of the first memories of your marriage.
