Alan meets with the bride and groom early on in their engagement to find out about their needs, wants and budget for the big day and from then can begin organising every detail of the wedding from when the bride and groom wake on the morning of their big day right up to when they disappear to their honeymoon suite in the early hours of the morning. The fact that Weddings By Shamrock can organise every single detail of the big day is a big plus for couples who can rest assured that their big day will be completely and utterly stress free.

Of course the key bonus of Weddings By Shamrock is that by using his huge contact base, Alan can get the best possible value available for the bride and groom and can save the average couple between €2,000 to €3,000 on what they would have had to pay for the big day if they had booked it themselves.

While still in its early days, the company has proved a huge success to date, a fact which Alan attributes to the excellent team at Weddings By Shamrock which includes Alan, his wife Shirley and Event manager Richard Kirby. "We've got a great team, it's like a big family and we work really well together," he said.

Looking to the future Alan says that they have lots of plans for the months ahead with a big day in Puerto Rico among the many weddings that Weddings By Shamrock will be organising over the coming weeks and he will be spending any spare time he can find with his wife Shirley and the apple of his eye, his ten and half month old baby Molly. "I'm really passionate about what I do and will continue to expand the business over the months and years ahead. When Weddings By Shamrock becomes a job then I might re-assess the business, but, right now it's not hard work because I absolutely love what I do. I had never imagined myself organising weddings, but I honestly really enjoy it and intend on continuing with this for a long time," he said.
