Meet Dani
The woman behind
I'm Dani — founder, host & matchmaker.
Where science meets soul — with a little Irish craic.
For more than 20 years I've worked across education, events, community engagement and networking — connecting and matching people, creating experiences that bring them together, spark connection and make them feel part of something.
I've always been fascinated by people — what brings us together, what makes us click, bond and stay, and what happens when the right people meet in the right environment. That curiosity eventually became Love Éire.
A little old-fashioned romance. With a modern understanding of relationships.
Dating has become faster. Social media has shortened our attention spans. Apps have given us endless choice — but more choice doesn't mean better connection. Somewhere along the way we started treating dating like shopping. Swipe. Compare. Match. Move on. We can do better than that.
Love Éire is here to help you slow things down and connect beyond surface talk. We don't do superficial; we do depth. Proper conversations. Meeting people face-to-face. Making an effort. Giving someone a chance to surprise you. Chemistry that can't be captured in a profile. And bringing back a little of that old-fashioned romance — while still honouring what we now understand about healthy, modern relationships.
I notice people. I notice energy. I notice connections. I notice what makes people click. I notice the person standing quietly at the edge of the room. Perhaps that's why I tend to sprinkle a little romance on everything I do — and help you bring your own sparkle back.

There isn't one magic formula. But there are ingredients.
Self-awareness
Knowing yourself before asking someone else to know you — your values, your patterns, your needs.
Respect
For yourself, for the other person, and for the relationship you're building.
Clarity & intention
Being honest about what you're looking for — and having the courage to say it.
Emotional intelligence
Listening, understanding another perspective, and navigating the messy, beautiful reality of being human.
Chemistry
That spark you can't always explain. Wonderful — but on its own, not enough.
Compatibility
Shared values, lifestyle, communication and emotional availability. The way two people actually fit.
The magic is in finding the right combination of chemistry and compatibility — and we sprinkle a little of it over every event we host.
Get ready to receive love
I don't believe you can force love. But I do believe you can prepare for it. You can become more self-aware. You can understand your patterns. You can learn to communicate. You can get clear about what you want. You can make space in your life for another person.
Love isn't always about searching harder. Sometimes it's about becoming ready to receive.
Creating the right conditions
At Love Éire, we don't promise that everyone will leave every event with a partner. We create the right conditions for something to happen. Good people. Interesting places. Shared experiences. Real conversations. A little adventure. A little courage. And when the conditions are right, it naturally evolves into a little romance.
Our philosophy
Head. Heart. Human.
Love Éire blends relationship science, emotional intelligence and practical tools with intuition, curiosity and a healthy dose of Irish craic. Science meets soul — and a little spirituality, with the odd spirit thrown in. Be present. Be yourself. Fun, without the fluff.
is about celebrating love
Love Éire is primarily for singles, but we also celebrate love, so we host some (limited) couples events too.
For singles, we create experiences that help you meet people beyond the apps. For couples, we create experiences that help you reconnect, celebrate and enjoy Ireland together. And for everyone, we're building a community that puts quality over quantity, connection over convenience and people over algorithms.
Come off the apps. Come back to real life. Come back to connection.
Come back to love.
Workshops
Head, heart & a healthy dose of craic
Online and in person, for singles and couples. Some are free for members; the rest are available at member rates.
Know Yourself First
Values, patterns and what you genuinely want — before asking someone else to know you.
Say It Clearly
Communication and emotional intelligence: listening, honesty and the courage to be direct.
Chemistry & Compatibility
The spark and the foundations — and why you need both for something that lasts.
Get Ready to Receive Love
Making room in your life so you recognise something meaningful when it appears.
Symbolism
Love that grows together
Love Éire takes much of its inspiration from nature, and one of these examples is ivy — a plant deeply woven into Ireland's landscape and history. Evergreen and resilient, ivy grows through changing seasons, adapting, flourishing and enduring.
For centuries, ivy has carried symbolism of fidelity, enduring love and deep connection. Its intertwining vines offer a beautiful metaphor for relationships: two people growing alongside one another, connected but still themselves.
That feels very Love Éire: connection without losing yourself, closeness without codependence, and love that has room to grow.
At Love Éire, we believe in interdependence, not codependence — supporting one another while remaining whole, respecting individuality while building something meaningful together.
Because lasting love isn't about completing someone or holding on too tightly. It's about choosing each other, communicating openly, respecting individuality, sharing experiences and creating something stronger together.
Like ivy, the best relationships need the right conditions to grow — trust, self-awareness, communication, intention, chemistry, compatibility and care.
We don't believe love can be forced or found through endless swiping. We create the conditions for people to meet, connect, discover and let something real take root.
And once it does, give it time. Give it care. Let it grow.
Love Éire. Rooted in connection. Growing together.
