FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Black Tie Optional attire is requested. We invite guests to wear floor-length gowns, tuxedos, or formal suits to compliment the beauty of the castle.

Question

How early should I book flights and hotels?

Answer

Because the wedding is taking place during Ireland’s peak travel season, we recommend booking flights and accommodations as early as possible—ideally 9–12 months in advance. June travel to Dublin can fill quickly, and booking early typically offers better availability and pricing.

Question

Do I need a passport or visa to travel to Ireland?

Answer

All travelers will need a valid passport to enter Ireland. Guests traveling from the U.S., UK, and most EU countries do not need a visa for short stays. Please ensure your passport is up to date and does not expire within six months of your travel dates. We recommend confirming entry requirements based on your country of citizenship.

Question

Will there be a hotel block?

Answer

We will not have a formal hotel block. However, on the Travel & Accommodations page, we’ve compiled a selection of hotel options conveniently located near the venue, offering a range of styles and price points.

Question

Are there accommodations at Luttrellstown Castle?

Answer

The castle rooms have been reserved by the bride and groom for a small group of invited guests. We invite all other guests to explore nearby hotel options listed on the Travel & Accommodations page. Please contact us directly with any accessibility-related questions.

Question

Will transportation to and from Luttrellstown be provided on the Wedding Day?

Answer

Transportation details are still being finalized. We’ll share updates as plans are confirmed and appreciate your patience.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to space considerations, we are only able to accommodate guests who are named on the invitation. Thank you for your understanding.

Question

Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony is planned to take place outdoors on the lawn, weather permitting. The drinks reception will follow on the terrace, which has a gravel surface. We recommend being mindful of footwear. Dinner and the reception will be held indoors in the castle.

Question

What will the weather be like on the day?

Answer

Late June in Dublin is usually mild, with daytime temperatures around 60–68°F (15–20°C) and cooler evenings near 50–55°F (10–13°C). And because it’s Ireland, a little rain may join the party—so layers and light outerwear are always a good idea.

Question

What currency is used in Ireland?

Answer

Ireland uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted, though having some cash on hand can be helpful.

Question

Are electrical outlets different in Ireland?

Answer

Yes. Ireland uses Type G outlets (the same as the UK). Guests traveling from the U.S. or other countries will need a plug adapter.
