January is such an exciting time of year when you're engaged - here at One Fab Day, we love nothing more than sharing our wedding trend and bridal style forecasts, as well as investigating new ceremony and reception spaces.

So we're delighted to share a list of 23 new wedding venues in Ireland for 2024. Featuring undiscovered gems that may not be on your radar yet, to new to us spots we haven't shared before, as well as some wedding venue favourites with newly renovated spaces, we've got a good feeling about this lot, and we can't wait to see the beautiful bashes they host in 2024, 2025, and beyond. Some of these venues have already made it into our Top 100 Wedding Venues in Ireland Guide, so they're worth getting excited about! Of course, with new spaces, there's always an element of uncertainty - a few on our list have yet to host a wedding or, may have only hosted a few, but we're super excited to see more from them.

From a cool gallery space in Dublin and a rustic barn in Antrim, to a glam Granary in Cavan and a farm-to-fork venue in Cork, these are the hottest new wedding venues in Ireland we'll be keeping an eye on in the months ahead...
