Build it, they’ll come . . . for the wedding

Getting married in a "little white chapel" or a "big red barn" no longer requires a trip to the States. A Co Mayo company will erect a traditional US barn or a cute little chapel for your ceremony and party, anywhere you like.

Big Red Barn, which won best entrepreneur and best start-up business of the year in Co Mayo, is responding to the more than 6000 people a year having weddings that are not in churches. Now all you need is a piece of land or, more likely, friends and family with land.

Big Red Barn has coupled with Marry Me Ireland to offer celebrants to officiate and personalise the occasion for the couple and their families.
