The Bride and Groom decided to have a Micro Wedding with only Bridal Party and Immediate Family in Ireland but wanted to be able to include all of those they love in their celebrations and joy. Due to Irelands requirements on marriage the Civil Ceremony will actually be the couples legal date of marriage and will be the date the couple celebrates in the future as it is the day before their 6 YEAR Anniversary.

April 1st, 2025. If you do not RSVP by this date it will be assumed that you can not make it and there will be no seat reserved for you.

Summer Cocktail Attire. This is less formal than black tie but more formal than jeans and a t-shirt. Skip the stilettos as you will need to be able to walk through what used to be a former farmers field.

Please park at the Mother of the Bride's house, right next door, it's a Yellow Rancher with a blue door. Decorations will be tied to the mailbox. Cars will park lined up along the ditch facing the white house.

There will be a happy hour and canapés following the ceremony, however there will not be a sit down dinner.

April 26th, 2025. If you do not RSVP by this date it will be assumed that you can not make it and there will be no food or seat reserved for you at the wedding. We need RSVPs by this point so we can notify our lovely caterer and he can start securing produce.

Formal. Ladies that means dressy separates/jumpsuits and dresses that are either floor length or hit above the ankle. Gentlemen that means darker-hued suits paired with a crisp white button-down and tie.

Olive Green & Terracotta. The bride welcomes those who would like to dress in these colours.

Due to the small guest list and minimum number requirements for room blocks at most hotels the bridal couple will not be reserving a block. However the venue owner has provided a list of recommended hotels. This can be found under the Travel tab. The couple also encourages their guests to check AirB&B as Ireland has a good number of affordable rentals all over.

The bridal couple invites their guests to arrive early and enjoy the many gardens on the property. Highlights include: The Italian Parterre, the Water Gardens, & the Seasonal Gardens and Champion Trees.

Huntington Castle & Gardens have a 14th Century Benedictine Abbey on site that will be the location of the wedding ceremony. Please note: This location is subject to change depending on the weather. The alternate location will be the 17th Century Barn Theatre.

The couple would greatly appreciate an unplugged wedding; they will pose for a photo moment at the beginning of the ceremony but then kindly request you put your phone away and enjoy the moment with them. The couple has hired a professional photographer and will happily share the photos. During the Happy Hour and Reception feel free to use your phones as long as you do not block any moments the hired photographers are attempting to capture.

Located across the parterre, formal gardens, from the Abbey is the Yew Tree Walk, pictured above, the bridal couple invites you to join them under the trees for a reception of dinner, drinks, and dancing.

When you RSVP there will be a form to fill out which will include Menu Options and a place to list any Dietary Restrictions or Allergies.

Yes, however as the venue is a historical location they limit drink options to Wine and Beer only.

Ireland in June is known for long days and short nights. Sunset can happen as late as 11 PM. With this in mind the reception is scheduled to conclude at 10:00 PM to allow people to return to their hotels/accommodations before dark.

The bridal couple understands not everyone will want to stay at the same types of hotels. A shuttle has not been arranged due to the drastic geographical difference in hotel locations for this reason. Please plan to get yourself back to your accommodations safely at the end of the night.

There is a parking lot behind the castle that is connected to the central courtyard through a gate.

Please see the "Registry" section for a compiled registry. The Bride and Groom request gifts are sent to their home and not brought to the Ireland location to simplify transportation and storage. They can be brought to the Civil Ceremony and there will be a table set up.

The bridal couple have created an Amazon cheat sheet for their guests with recommendations for items that might be needed for the adventure.

U.S. citizens can visit Ireland without a visa for up to 90 days for business or tourism. However please ensure your passport is up to date as you are typically not allowed to travel out of the country if your passport expires within 6 months of your departure date.

Effective January 8, 2025, all U.S. citizens traveling to the UK (including Northern Ireland) for tourism, for 6 months or less will require an ETA prior to travel.  U.S. citizens can apply for ETAs as of November 27, 2024. The application fee is £10, and an ETA is valid for two years. You do not need an ETA to visit the Republic of Ireland.

Euros. Please plan to exchange money in a bank before you leave the country as the exchange rate will be better and check foreign transaction fees on your credit cards. If you plan on traveling to Northern Ireland, they use Pound Sterling.

The Bride will try and post an updated weather forecast the week leading up to the wedding. However, June in Ireland is typically warmer than the rest of the year, with average temperatures ranging from 50–63°F, and can reach highs of 68°F and above. June is also expected to see 2.75 inches of rainfall, which is higher than expected for a summer month. Other weather conditions to expect in June include: 13 rainy days, 6 hours of sunshine per day, and 65% humidity.

The bride, Savannah. The groom, Nicholas, probably doesn't know.
