Forget Tinder – Europe’s biggest matchmaking festival returns to tiny Irish town

Willie Daly is a matchmaker from the small village of Lisdoonvarna in Ireland. Willie is known for his ability to match individuals to their ideal partner. While the festival has moved into the 21st century, Willie still believes in the old-fashioned method of round-the-table talks with couples and getting the passion flowing by getting them dancing together. His passion is to help hopeful singles, of all ages and nationalities, find a life partner and have a lot of fun on the way. This was the nineteenth century, and houses had no electricity or running water.

If you want to find love, all you have to do is visit Ireland. While many people may consider Paris the City of Love, perhaps a visit to Lisdoonvarna, a tiny, rural town in County Clare, Ireland, will change their minds. Over the last 50 years, Daly has apparently set up around 3, marriages, so he must be doing something right. Daly, whose father and grandfather were also in the matchmaking business, uses an ancient-looking book that is full of love profiles to make his matches. However, be aware that in the past, the festival has had trouble attracting men, according to Culture Trip , so some attendees may be leaving without a new beau.

Ireland’s traditional matchmaker may be the country’s last

My name is Willie Daly and I am a third generation traditional Irish matchmaker: a gift I inherited from my father and his father before him. On the west coast of Ireland, just a few miles from Lisdoonvarna in County Clare , I live on a small elevated farm with horses, ponies and donkeys within view of the Cliffs of Moher , the wild Atlantic Ocean of our own Liscannor Bay and the beautiful, spellbinding, magical Burren. I have been matchmaking for over 50 years and am proud to say I have matched over couples in my lifetime. Matchmaking is in my blood and I am fortunate to have inherited the skills of my father and grandfather. Like them, I know instinctively what makes a good match.
