Weddings
You can elope to the Irish Inn or plan your dream wedding here. A Protestant minister, Native American, or judicial official will be arranged to perform your ceremony in one of the magnificent nature areas nearby or in the inn. Eloping is so romantic, and this one-on-one running off to marry in Pope County, Illinois is by far the most popular way to go. We had a wedding this year for 125 by our pond, which was far bigger than any other event held at The Irish Inn to date. We prefer small weddings of ten or fewer, but if your heart is set on getting married here, we try to work with any couple who comes to us. More and more people are choosing to marry in the superb nature settings of the Shawnee National Forest. People want something simple, elegant, and uncomplicated. They also want to save money and avoid the stress of doing all the wedding planning themselves.
"We make it easy. All they have to do is call 618-695-LOVE with their date. They get their license from the Pope County Courthouse one day and marry the next. So far, the oldest groom married at The Irish Inn was 81, which shows that love can happen to anyone at any age! 88-year old World War II veteran, Rev. Murrell Hazel has married people on horseback, on the Ohio River, near waterfalls or bluffs, and in most of the natural areas around here," explains Brian McCreery. The McCreerys were themselves married by Rev. Hazel in June, 2008.
