The famed wedding planner is reluctantly parting with this charming West Cork home, says Tommy Barker.

An increase in the average amount being spent on weddings by Irish couples last year, helped boost profits at the company owned by well-known wedding planner/organiser, Peter Kelly.

A major jump in the number of people getting married here last year resulted in ‘wedding bliss’ for the firm operated by the country’s best known wedding planner, Franc.

Events company Weddings by Franc suffered an accumulated profits’ dip but life still appears to be a bed of roses for Peter Kelly after the success of his latest TV show.
