Suzanne Danker received a suspended three-year prison sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for three counts of deception and three of theft. Judge Martin Nolan imposed the sentence.

The offences occurred between 7 and 10 September 2012. The proceedings were reported on 26 January 2022. Danker had pleaded guilty, but the sources do not separately date that plea.

The court heard that Danker continued seeking payments for a Spanish wedding after her company was unable to pay contractors. Defence counsel said she had organised about 200 weddings, was relying on a promised €12,000 investment that never materialised, and accepted full responsibility while having no previous convictions.

The sentence was suspended on condition that €9,500 brought to court be paid to the victims and a further €5,000 be paid within two years. If the couple declined the money, it was to be donated to charity.
