Formal Attire - for example, a formal suit and tie for men and a floor length dress, fancy cocktail dress or dressy pantsuit for women. For women hats/fascinators are encouraged. 

We love your kids, but we are having an adults-only wedding. If anyone needs help with making arrangements for child care, please let us know and we will do our best to assist.

Can I bring a date?

Unless specified on your invitation, we ask that your significant other not join you. We can celebrate with them at a later date!

Is it okay to take pictures during the ceremony?

We will be having an unplugged ceremony - We kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony and be present with us. We have professional photographers on hand to capture all the special moments and are excited to share their photos with you.

What's the weather like in Ireland in July?

Average temperatures in July are between 60 - 68°F. Apart from short refreshing showers, summer is Ireland's driest season. July gets about 18 hours of daylight, only turning dark after 11pm in the evening. Hence the well-known saying in Ireland, “make the most of your evening”.
