Introduction – How It All Began


EVENTS BY Cassidy-McCleans became a reality after planning our own wedding in August 2023. Like most couples, we broke our day down into different sections and really thought about how our guests would feel at each stage of the celebration. From the ceremony to the drink's reception, right through to the evening party, we carefully planned what we could add to each part of the day to create a wedding that both us and our guests would truly remember.

During the planning process, we quickly realised there were several elements we would have loved to include – experiences, features and ideas that simply weren’t available across Northern or Southern Ireland at the time. That’s where we began to identify a genuine gap in the market.

Alongside this, we experienced first-hand how challenging it was to manage multiple suppliers, each with different payment schedules, terms and conditions, and communication styles. It planted the seed for something bigger – a one-stop shop where couples could find most of what they want and need for their wedding day, all under one roof. We fell in love with the planning process, saw a clear opportunity in the industry, and decided to take the plunge.

The Problem Couples Face When Planning a Wedding


From planning our own wedding to now working within the wedding industry, one thing has remained consistent – couples often feel overwhelmed. There are so many suppliers to choose from, countless decisions to make, and not always enough guidance along the way.

We regularly hear from couples about slow or missed responses when reaching out to suppliers, the stress of juggling multiple deposits, and the challenge of keeping track of different payment terms and timelines. These pressures can quickly take the excitement out of wedding planning.

As a one-stop shop, and as a company that prides itself on clear communication and exceptional service delivery, we aim to remove those stresses. Our role is to simplify the process, give couples confidence, and allow them to enjoy the journey to their wedding day.



Our One-Stop Shop Approach – What That Really Means


Our one-stop shop approach means we can be part of your entire wedding day – from ceremony and reception styling, right through to your evening entertainment.

We offer a range of timeless wedding classics including floral décor, photobooths and light-up letters, alongside new and exclusive experiences brought to the Irish wedding market. Our LED Infinity Dancefloor is the first of its kind in Ireland, our Find a Key Claw Machine offers a fun and memorable alternative to traditional wedding favours, and our CO₂ guns are designed to get the evening party started in unforgettable style.

Beyond décor and entertainment, we can also provide your wedding cake, Dutch pancakes for your drink's reception, content creation to capture those behind-the-scenes moments, and your evening DJ service.

Couples are then free to choose the suppliers that are most personal to them – such as their venue, photographer, videographer and celebrant – while trusting us to manage everything else seamlessly. With one company, one point of contact, and one deposit, the planning process becomes smoother, simpler and far more enjoyable.



Elevating the Guest Experience


At EVENTS BY Cassidy-McCleans, everything we do centres around the guest experience. From the very first enquiry through to setup on the day, we are there to support our couples every step of the way.

Our services are designed to create standout moments that enhance both your experience and that of your guests. From magical first dance moments on our LED Infinity Dancefloor, to breathtaking cold spark effects during your entrance as newlyweds, each element is carefully chosen to elevate the atmosphere and create lasting memories.



Our Signature Pieces & Experiences


Some of our most loved signature offerings include our LED Infinity Dancefloor, selfie mirror photobooths, 360 videobooth with LED backdrop, CO₂ guns, LED Infinity letters, luxury faux floral styling, and our Find a Key Claw Machine wedding favour alternative.

These pieces don’t just look incredible – they create moments. Guests love the excitement of winning prizes from the claw machine, couples rave about the energy CO₂ guns bring to the evening party, and our dancefloor regularly becomes the talking point of the night. In fact, many couples book our services simply because they’ve experienced them at a friend or family member’s wedding and know they have to have them for their own.




A Personal, Hands-On Approach


From your initial enquiry right through to your wedding day, we are fully hands-on. We personally carry out setup on the day and check in with couples around eight weeks before their wedding to ensure we have everything we need to plan their day to perfection.

If our couples need us, we’re always just a phone call, email or message away. When planning feels overwhelming, our role is to reassure, guide and remind couples that everything is under control.



Looking Ahead – The Future of EVENTS BY Cassidy McCleans


Looking to the future, we are excited about the continued growth of EVENTS BY Cassidy McCleans. One of our goals is to open our own showroom, allowing couples to visit us in person, see our offerings on display, and feel inspired while planning their day.

We have also launched our bespoke floral offering and will continue to source and introduce new, exciting products to the Irish wedding market – always with the aim of enhancing the wedding experience.
