Day One

Everyone flies into Dublin International, and after we ditch the bags at the hotel, we'll head down to the closest pub for some hometown Guinness and comfort food.

Day Two

We depart Dublin on a bus tour, driving through the midlands down to Blarney, in the beautiful County Cork. We will pass through the Golden Vale, the most fertile lands in all of Europe with green fields as far as the eye can see. We get great panoramic views of the Galtee mountains, as we pass through County Tipperary down to the southern County Cork.

We enjoy a panoramic drive through Cork City on the banks of the River Lee. We will enjoy an hour of free time to walk through the city center and soak up the atmosphere of the Southern Capital. Consider a visit to English Market - a historic food market with a wide array of local produce ranging from artisan meats and cheeses, the ideal place for lunch recently made famous by Queen Elizabeth herself. St Fin Barre's Cathedral and the musical Shandon bells are also nearby.

We visit Cobh, the departure point for many of the starving emigrants who left for America, and UK between 1848 - 1850 and especially during the great famine years. The final port of call for RMS Titanic, before her tragic demise. Visit the magnificent St. Coleman's Cathedral. Consider visiting the new Titanic Experience, in the original White Star Line building.

Kiss the Blarney Stone and receive the 'gift of the gab' for 7 years. Situated on the battlements of Blarney Castle you will have to bend over backwards to kiss the stone! We also visit the Witch's Cave in the castle grounds, and explore the famous Gardens. There will also be plenty of time to indulge in the haven of the Blarney Woolen Mills and craft shop, the largest Irish shop in the world.

We depart for Dublin via the Golden Vale of County Tipperary, after a great day spent in County Cork! We expect to arrive back at approx 8:30 pm.

Day Three

We tour the famous Jameson distillery and then we're off to the Guinness brewery for a whole day of taste testing the finest Irish whiskey and beer. Later that night, the bride and groom will say goodbye and hit the town for their Stag and Hen parties - not for the faint of heart!

Day Four

A day of travel! We'll be off to Belfast on the train. Get ready for the most beautiful scenery of your life. That night, we'll have dinner downtown and get some much needed rest from the night before.

Day Five

A bus tour to the Giant's Causeway! We depart Belfast and travel inland to the north coast, visiting the Bushmills distillery, Dunluce Castle, and the Causeway. We get to cross the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and do a little shopping in Carnlough. We return to Belfast taking in the incredible scenery along the Antrim Coast Road.

Day Six

We take the train out of Belfast to Clym's hometown of Castlerock. The ride is brief, so we'll have plenty of time to see the beaches of the North Atlantic, the ruins of a temple and the next door Hezlett House, and maybe have a round of golf at the 1901 course, seemingly designed to test your every skill with a club. Then, we'll take the train to Derry and drive over to the An Grianan hotel in preparation for the big day.

Day Seven

The wedding has arrived! The bride and groom will spend the morning in the hotel getting ready and taking their time. We'll make the drive up to the Grianan of Aileach fort and seal the deal. Photos are taken, and we'll head back down the hill to the hotel where a night of eating, drinking, and dancing will be had by all.

Day Eight

We say goodbye to the Emerald Isle and to Mr. and Mrs. Gatrell!
