Planning a wedding in Ireland comes with countless possibilities for creating a truly memorable event. If you’re looking to add a unique, personal touch, why not consider incorporating a wedding campervan into your celebration?
From extra accommodation for guests to cosy spaces for pre-wedding preparations, and even as the perfect getaway for a mini-moon, a campervan offers flexibility and charm. Whether you’re leaning toward festival-inspired décor or an intimate setting by the coast, a campervan can turn your wedding into an unforgettable adventure.
Seeing as wedding season is just around the corner, we thought we’d share these clever ways that customers have used our campervan rental service as part of their wedding celebrations in the past!
Before the Wedding
Extra accommodation for out-of-town friends & family
Instead of cramming everyone into one space or booking expensive hotels, offer your guests the comfort and privacy of a campervan on-site during your wedding week. With all the amenities of home—like comfortable beds, a kitchenette, and bathroom facilities—your friends and family will have a private, cosy retreat right in the heart of the wedding celebrations.
Guests can relax in a campervan parked within the wedding venue grounds, enjoying the convenience of being close to the event without missing any of the excitement. No need for stressful shuttles to hotels—everyone can stay together while enjoying their own space.
Groom & groomsmen base for the night before the wedding
Couples often choose to stay apart the night before the wedding, and a campervan makes the perfect base for the groom and his crew.
With enough space to sleep up to six people, our luxury campervans offer a fully stocked kitchenette, plenty of room to unwind, and a perfect spot for last-minute preparations. The groomsmen can reminisce, share a drink, and prepare for the big day in a relaxed atmosphere, adding to the excitement and anticipation.
Plus, the added convenience of parking close to the venue ensures no worries about travel logistics the next morning—everyone wakes up ready for the big event.
Hen party alternative for a girlie getaway
For brides looking to do something different for their hen party, a campervan getaway with the bridesmaids is a fun alternative.
Maybe you’ll choose a quiet coastal spot for chats, champagne and charcuterie boards, or maybe a lively festival with your lifelong friends. A campervan will give you that freedom to go wherever the vibe takes you and to mark this massive milestone in your life in a unique way, with plenty of opportunities for Instagram-worthy photos to capture the celebrations!
Decorate the space with fairy lights, bunting, and fresh flowers, turning the campervan into a picture-perfect bridal lounge.
Also, you’re just steps away from the venue, so there’s no rush, no travel logistics—just pure, uninterrupted time with your best friends as you prepare for the wedding.
At the Wedding
Creative Campervan Décor Ideas
In Ireland, the natural beauty of your surroundings can be perfectly complemented by boho-inspired campervan décor. Imagine wildflowers in soft hues, glowing fairy lights strung around the campervan, and macramé details adorning the doors. Create a dreamy rustic setting with a floral arch framing the van, or add wooden accents to bring a warm, cosy feel to the celebration. The campervan becomes more than just a vehicle—it’s a beautiful centrepiece that ties together the outdoor setting with vibrant, free-spirited wedding aesthetics.
Consider setting up a small lounge area outside the campervan with mismatched cushions, throws, and candles for a magical atmosphere that your guests can enjoy. It’s the perfect spot for them to relax or take photos during the festivities!

Photo Booth & Guestbook Station
Turn your campervan into an interactive photo booth or guestbook station. Guests can pose for pictures in front of the beautifully styled van, using props or fun backdrops like garlands, floral wreaths, or vintage banners. Add a vintage touch with disposable cameras for a retro vibe, or set up a video guestbook inside the van for your friends and family to record their well-wishes and funny messages. This unique touch will provide fun, memorable moments while adding charm to the celebration. Plus, a beautifully decorated campervan makes for a gorgeous backdrop in your wedding photos, capturing all those little details of your special day. Looking for some boho wedding inspiration?
Campervan Bars & Food Stations
Take advantage of your campervan’s versatility by transforming it into a quirky bar or food station. Serve personalised cocktails, drinks inspired by your relationship, or even regional favourites like Irish whiskey or craft beers, offering guests a relaxed space to grab a refreshment. Alternatively, you can use the campervan to serve small appetisers, mini desserts, or even late-night snacks like s’mores by a campfire!
For outdoor weddings, this setup adds a playful, laid-back touch that your guests will love. You can even decorate the serving area with flowers, garlands, and colourful signage to match your wedding theme.
After the Wedding
Mini-moon getaway after the wedding
After the excitement of your wedding, there’s no better way to relax than by setting off on a romantic mini-moon in a luxury campervan. Explore Ireland’s stunning landscapes—from the breathtaking Wild Atlantic Way to the serene lakes of Killarney.
The flexibility of a campervan allows newlyweds to revisit their favourite spots or discover hidden gems like the Cliffs of Moher, Connemara, or the Ring of Kerry.
You can have one of our luxury 2 berth campervans all packed up and ready to go so you can start your married life by taking some time to unwind and create some lovely memories together that you’ll cherish forever.
Romantic Getaway Van
Imagine making a stylish exit from your wedding in your very own campervan, decorated with “Just Married” signs and floral accents. The van offers the perfect vehicle to hit the road immediately after your ceremony, turning your first moments as a married couple into a fun and spontaneous adventure. Whether you choose a weekend trip to Ireland’s majestic cliffs or a longer journey through quaint villages, your campervan getaway can become a unique, memory-filled beginning to your married life. Why book an ordinary hotel when you can wake up to the sound of waves along Ireland’s coast or the gentle rustling of leaves in a forest?
Festival-Friendly Campervan Rentals
If you’re a festival-loving couple, why not continue the celebration by heading to some of Ireland’s iconic festivals? Picture yourselves pulling into the Electric Picnic, the Galway International Oyster Festival, or even a laid-back local music event. Your campervan provides a comfortable base to enjoy the festival scene without the need for traditional accommodation. With the campervan’s cosy beds, built-in kitchen, and private bathroom, you’ll be able to enjoy the festival experience in comfort and style. Perfect for post-wedding fun with your closest friends, all while continuing the celebration on the road.
With these after-wedding options, couples can enjoy Ireland’s stunning landscapes, cultural festivals, and charming towns—all while revelling in the comfort and freedom that a campervan offers. It’s not just a getaway; it’s an unforgettable journey together!
