Things to Know

Here are some helpful tips before you get to Ireland (and the Castle on an Island!) but please, feel free at any time to reach out to either of us on anything we can help you with or questions you have before the wedding.

On this website you will find everything you need to understand the travel, accommodations, and recommendations we have for the trip.

We are so excited for you to have made the journey!

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING?

We recommend booking flights, accommodations and any transportation early. If you are renting a car, note the earlier you book, the more cost effective it will be. (Please remember driving is on the opposite side in Ireland!)

ARE CHILDREN INVITED?

To allow all our guests the opportunity to let their hair down and enjoy themselves, we’ve elected to make our wedding a child-free event except for immediate family!

DO I GET A PLUS ONE?

Since we want to keep our wedding as intimate as possible, we can't accommodate plus-ones beyond those named on the wedding invitation. We look forward to seeing you soon!

HOW DO I GET TO WATERFORD?

Ireland has two main airports: Dublin Airport or Shannon Airport. Dublin Airport to Waterford Castle: (2-2.5 hours by car). Shannon Airport to Waterford Castle: (2-2.5 hours by car). The best way to get to Waterford is to fly into Dublin, and then either take a bus or train to Waterford. Renting a car is also an option - with any of these modes of transport. We recommend arriving to Waterford and checking into your lodge at Waterford Castle- The Island Resort stay on June 14.

(More info regarding travel are in the Travel Tabs!)

HOW DO I GET TO WATERFORD CASTLE?

Waterford Castle is on an Island, so there is a ferry from Waterford to the Castle itself. You can either take your car, or take the ferry on foot. It is about a 5 minute journey across the river. The ferry is a 24-hour service. It runs daily to the following schedule: 7am – 11pm every 15 minutes and can be called as needed after hours. Please note after hours may be a longer wait time if calling a taxi and using the ferry - this is why we recommend staying at the island's lodges for the wedding dates.

PASSPORTS

Please double-check the expiration date on your passport to ensure it is valid throughout your entire stay in Ireland. If you plan to extend your travel before or after the wedding, be sure to check the passport requirements for each country you plan on visiting, as they may differ. If you need a passport, please apply at least 6 months before your planned departure date.
