I’m Tara Fay – Let’s Get to Know Each Other!
When it comes to planning a luxury wedding in Ireland, there’s nothing I love more than bringing a couple’s vision to life in a way that feels effortless, elegant, and uniquely them. With decades of experience in the wedding industry, I have had the privilege of curating celebrations that are not just beautiful, but truly unforgettable. I could direct you to Tara Fay Events, or my Instagram, to see many examples of my work, but first, a little about me.
My journey into luxury wedding planning (which began in 1997 in LA!) has been driven by my passion for design, hospitality, and the magic of a well-executed event. Even more than all of this, I am madly in love with Ireland. This incredible place is full of magic and I cherish sharing it with couples who place their trust in me to create one of the most significant days of their lives. I love all events. Big, small or otherwise. If you’re considering a destination wedding in Ireland, you’re considering unparalleled setting, historic castles, rolling green landscapes, and dramatic coastlines—but it also comes with logistical challenges that require expert navigation. That’s where I come in.
From the moment we begin working together, my role is to make your wedding journey seamless and enjoyable. I take care of every detail – whether you dream of an intimate elopement in a hidden garden or a grand celebration in a centuries-old castle, I have the insider knowledge and trusted relationships with the finest vendors to make it happen. I also believe that a wedding should tell a story. That’s why I work closely with each couple to weave elements of their love story into every detail, from personalised decor to locally inspired menus. Whether my couples want to incorporate Irish traditions or create a modern, sophisticated celebration, my goal is to ensure your wedding feels deeply personal and truly extraordinary.
Over the years, my team and I have created and produced many of the country’s most creative and extravagant celebrations for a discerning list of celebrities and leading business figures, both at home and abroad. We’ve had our work featured in all sorts of publications, including Hello Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, and many more. (Most recently, I was interviewed by The Knot about the Irish Ring Warming Ceremony.) I have been a regular guest on national radio and television and I host a YouTube channel with my colleague and dear friend, Bruce Russell, called: Bruce & Tara Live. One thing is for certain – I’m never bored!
One of the most important aspects of my role is ensuring that you can fully enjoy the process. Planning a wedding should be exciting, not stressful, and my team and I will go out of our way to make sure you and your guests can relax and immerse yourselves in the experience.
Ireland is a magical place to say ‘I do,’ and I would love to help you craft a wedding that is as breathtaking as the landscape itself. If you’re ready to embark on this journey, get in touch and we’ll create something spectacular together.
Slán go Fóill,
Tara
