Wedding Day

Ceremony

Reception

We're getting married, and would be honored to have you celebrate with us in Ireland for a long weekend (or week) of food and drink, great friends, and unforgettable memories. We stayed at Kinnitty Castle on our first trip to Ireland in April of 2022. It feels appropriate to say I do where, Keith signed the guest book as "Keith and Soon-to-be Heather Dougherty" during our stay. Festivities begin in Dublin on July 10th, with our ceremony at Kinnitty Castle in Offaly on July 13th. Suggested itinerary includes the first two nights in Dublin, followed by two nights stay at Kinnitty Castle. See Events Tab for details on events leading up to and including wedding day. Please note that space is limited for overnight guests as Kinnitty Castle Hotel. It's recommended that you book your room as soon as possible to secure your overnight accommodation.

Hen & Stag Night Out

In Ireland, a hen party is a party for the bride-to-be and her female friends, similar to a bachelorette party, while a stag party is the groom-to-be and his male friends, equivalent of a bachelor party. For those that wish to participate, hens &amp; stags will go out separately for a few hours, then meetup at a specific location to continue to the party towards the end of the night. This is a great opportunity to spend time with the Bride &amp; Groom before we head to the Castle for Wedding Festivities. Meeting location will be determined at a later time.
