Its not necessary to have the email service from the same region. This is due to couple of reasons,

  • The added latency in selecting the closes region is not considerable when it comes to SES API invocation to send mails. In your case the performance impact, using EU (Ireland) region for email sending isn't significant.
  • After the email is sent using SMTP protocol that is delivers to user's mail provider which can be in a different region. Therefore using SES in the same region won't impact the email delivery.
  • You will be charged a cross regional data transfer fee for SES service used from another region. However its also not that significant if you don't have large attachments. For more details check SES Pricing.

Yes, you can use SES from another region. It might be possibly be slightly more expensive since you will incur some region-to-region bandwidth charges that might otherwise be free (not 100% sure), but I suspect unless you have a huge quantity of emails, the extra cost won't amount to much at all.

But bottom line is, yes, you can combine services from multiple regions into a single solution.
