Over 1,000 travel industry professionals will help you get started planning your dream wedding with insider advice on the best destinations and resorts, whether you’re planning an intimate getaway, larger family celebration, at home or further afield.

Some of the most popular wedding and honeymoon destinations will be exhibiting at Holiday World Show Dublin, from old favourites to exotic, far flung locations.

Here are some of the top wedding destinations exhibiting at the 2023 show on the 27th to 29th of January in the RDS Simmonscourt, Dublin

The Medditerranean

The Mediterranean has long been a favourite destination for Irish holidaymakers, with thousands returning to seek the sunshine year after year. The beautiful weather, delicious food and wine and welcoming locals mean that weddings in the Med are very popular with Irish couples.

The tiny Mediterranean island of Malta is a big contender as the perfect wedding destination. With a pleasant climate, idyllic scenery and English-speaking population, it’s no wonder that it has an outstanding reputation. With 300 days of sun a year, you are sure to have beautiful wedding photos and are in the ideal location for your honeymoon.
 
Home to paella, sangria and some seriously incredible wedding venues is the fabulous Spain. From ancient cathedrals to picture-perfect beaches, the potential a Spanish wedding has is beyond imagination. A city wedding in Barcelona, a countryside celebration in the beautiful Basque Country or a laid-back ceremony on the beach, experts at Holiday World Show will help you chose the right wedding for you.

 

The Caribbean

With powder white sands, turquoise seas, a backdrop of blue skies and swaying coconut palms, the Caribbean Islands are the perfect location for a memorable destination wedding. A Caribbean wedding also provides wedding guests with an opportunity to incorporate a holiday into their stay.

 
This diverse group of islands has something to suit every taste! Enjoy complete privacy for a small intimate wedding by hiring out a segment of the beach, or host all of your friends and family one of the many luxurious mega-resorts.

With exhibitors from The Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, The Dominican Republic and Jamaica there is plenty of Caribbean options for couples to choose from. Our experts at Holiday World Show 2023 will be able to offer advice and guidance on marriages in the Caribbean.

Canary Islands

Sun, volcanic scenery and natural untouched beaches is the perfect backdrop for your wedding and honeymoon. Whether it is Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote or all of the Canary Islands, plan the perfect ceremony at the Holiday World Show. 

Maldives

Known for beautiful beaches and perfect weather, it is very difficult to find a reason not to get married in the Maldives. The popular wedding and honeymoon destination has many stunning venues, let the experts at the Holiday World Show find the right one for you.

Cyprus

Cyprus, the birthplace of beautiful Aphrodite, the Ancient Greek Goddess of Love is an ideal wedding and honeymoon location. The idyllic and picturesque beaches are certified as among the cleanest in Europe, with the crystal-clear waters of the coast unfolding towards the pine-clad Troodos Mountain Range, where the wild sheep, freely roam, and cedars grow amidst the rich history of gem-like churches and monasteries adorned with unparalleled Byzantine frescoes and icons.

Although Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean, it is surprisingly compact and easy to explore. In between rugged mountain peaks and the shimmering coast you’ll traverse undulating landscape and rolling hills with vineyards. Linger in idyllic villages where the rhythm slows down and there’s always time for another coffee.

All across Cyprus, you’ll have the opportunity to experience a distinctive cuisine composed of meze; small plates of local delicacies from flame-grilled, delicately spiced meats, to fresh vegetables and amazing cheeses, such as the famous Halloumi.

You will soon discover that Cypriot people are worldly and warm, and only too happy to share their island with you, including, among many other things, an attractive range of accommodation - luxurious hotels of the highest international standards infused with local flavour, quality tourist villas and more.

Thailand

Say “I do” by the sea. From the ornate palaces to the rich coral reefs and glorious wildlife, Thailand is a memorable destination to celebrate your special day. Vibrant nightlife and beach parties make it a great spot for a honeymoon. Take a trip to the Northwest for wildlife and visit the cosmopolitan city of Bangkok, before heading south to the beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters and luxury resorts of the island wedding destinations of Phuket and Koh Samui.
