We would first like to thank you 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏼‍♂️so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for even considering making this trip in order to be a part of our special day. We realize how much of a cost and inconvenience this could be, but we are hoping to help make it as simple and cost effective as possible.🙏

And really REALLY hoping that our wedding can just be a small pit stop in a bigger lovely and dreamy Irish & beyond European adventure. An excuse to have an unforgettable experience for you and your family that we’re incredibly honored to be a small part of. 🗺️✈️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸‍♂️🍻

That said, if this information is annoying or unhelpful but you still want to come and just need a bit of guidance or have questions, CALL ME!! ☎️ (Or text if you prefer. Or fax📠). I will help in any and every way possible and I promise it would only be my pleasure to help.

If you just want to do your own thing, please read no further. I leave it in your capable hands. 💗

As for the rest of you…

👩🏼‍🚀🕵🏼‍♂️Welcome to the choose your-own-adventure part of the novel…🚂🛵

🛫So there are 3 airports you could fly into, depending on what your plans are.🛬

💫I think the best way is to work backwards and around the event, just to (try to) avoid any confusion. 💫

☀️So the wedding is at Ashley Park House in Nenagh, county Tipperary, the hometown of the late great Shane McGowan of The Pogues🎸🥁. It’s in the midlands and not like a big attraction, but it’s a cute town and Shane’s favourite pub is there, where everyone (including Johnny Depp) went after his funeral. Tipperary does have attractions (see “Things to Do- in/around Tipp”) outside Nenagh, though, including the Rock of Cashel and other 🏰 castles and a cool looking cave, etc. So if you want to get to Ireland maybe the day before the wedding, you could stay there the night before the wedding (List of accommodation that’s no more than 15 min from the venue under “Tipperary Accommodation”). You could obviously even stay there the night OF the wedding if you don’t feel like moving to the venue, which we totally understand isn’t ideal, especially for those with kids. But we have a little block of rooms held at a hotel in Nenagh for anyone who chooses that adventure the night before (and/or the night OF). It has a nice pool and is real cute. (See “Tipperary Accommodation”).

We will be staying at home in Galway the night before the wedding, and for anyone who arrives in Ireland a day or 2 (or longer) before, Galway is a brilliant place with amazing day trips nearby and you can take buses if you don't want a car rental. (See Galway Info).

☀️HOWEVER, the wedding venue is really really ✨magical✨ and we get the entire place to ourselves, so we’d LOVE for anyone who wants to, to stay there with us and celebrate until the 🪩wee hours🪩 and then crawl to your 🛏️beds🛌, just a little crawl away. 🙏We wish we could have had 2 nights there, but unfortunately we’re sandwiched between 2 other weddings. If you're ok with moving, as we'll be doing, maybe just have a little 🎒bag👜 with wedding attire, sleep clothes and clothes for the next morning and leave everything else packed to avoid extra hassle. There are 50 rooms at the venue which are allocated by us, not the venue, so if you want to stay let us know ASAP. (Accommodation info, options, prices, etc is included under Tipperary Accommodation).

☀️The day after the wedding we will be making our way 🚙 to Dingle in the magnificent county Kerry🌅, where we’ll make our base to spend a few days without having to relocate again. But trust us, it’s MAGIC. If you don’t want to travel anywhere else in Ireland after the wedding, we chose this location because it’s what we’d recommend if you had to choose just one place to go. And we (or just you) can do day trips from there or wander around locally, there’s so much to see and do around there. You won’t regret it, we promise. (Accommodation options under “Kerry Info”-we have an entire b&b held if you’d like to book a room there). Dingle is about a 2 hour drive from Nenagh. We were thinking our car caravan of Kerry goers could break up the drive by stopping for lunch in a pretty town called Adare 🏰. It’s very picturesque and cool and there is a brilliant playground that restless kiddies of all ages will enjoy (and so will their hungover parents).

💃🏻🕺🏼So that’s what we’ll be doing, and you’re so incredibly welcome to join us, as we hope a bunch of you will. But obviously, carry on with your own adventures if nah.

**Please see "Travel" tab for info on airports and transportation options.

I'll also update the Q&A tab whenever someone asks a question, so have a gander in case.
