At the lauch of the innovative service was held in the newly opened Courtyard Hotel in Leixlip, the company outlined the new free service to bridal couples. Co-founder, Colette O'Loughlin, said 'We are delighted to be able to bring this service to couples, on both sides of the Atlantic, where they can easily enquire and book services for their big day'. The booking service will be promoted to both Irish and American couples, through the company's existing office in Ireland and also its new office on Madison Avenue, New York.

Julie Cobbe, Commercial Manager for Simply Weddings, advised that 'We have a significant number of bridal couples coming home from the States to get married who genuinely don't know where to start their planning. SimplyWeddings.com aims to fill that void. We also have many US brides trying to source Irish products for their big day! Our US office gives us and our clients the best possible position to take advantage of these cross-Atlantic opportunities' said Cobbe. The company aims to open further international offices in Europe during 2006.

SimplyWeddings.com has negotiated exclusive deals with each vendor as an added bonus for brides using the service. For example, Mount Juliet Conrad offer couples who book through Simply Weddings, treatments in their spa, room upgrade for both the parents of the bride and groom and a complimentary anniversary dinner with accommodation.

'Booking your wedding through SimplyWeddings.com could be easier' explained O'Loughlin. 'Quite literally at the click of a button one can view the vendors, what they have to offer, and then book their chosen service', she said.
