FAQs
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Fashion is one of the biggest polluters of our planet. We are asking that you utilize clothes you already own if possible. Please see our specific events for the attire for each night.
Question
What will the weather be like this time of year?
Answer
Our advice is to be prepared for anything. In Ireland, there is always potential for a storm. April historically holds temperatures in the low to mid-50s.
Question
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
We are hoping to have an outdoor ceremony but this will be weather permitting.
Question
What happens after the ceremony?
Answer
We ask our guests to head straight to the cocktail hour to mingle and enjoy served canapes and drinks.
Question
How do I get to the venue?
Answer
In terms of transportation to get to the venue please see our travel page. For those that choose to drive, Maps will be your best friend. It will take you right to the front of the lodge where you will see our bellman who will advise you on where to park and assist with unloading your bags.
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
We recommend guests arrive around 3:00 pm on April 14th for our pre-wedding drinks. This will allow you enough time to get settled in your room and freshen up before the welcome reception begins. We will not be serving food during the welcome drinks. Please explore the town of Virginia and have a nice dinner before welcome drinks. On the day of the wedding, we ask that people arrive at the lodge at 3:00 pm.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.
Question
Do you have a hotel block for guests? Where do you recommend I stay?
Answer
The Lodge has many options for accommodation, from apartments to tiny houses. We will pre-allocate these based on guests attending. If you have specific needs please reach out.
Question
Will food and drinks be served at the reception?
Answer
Yes. If you have dietary restrictions please let include those on your RSVP. Anything not noted on your RSVP will not be accommodated for.
Question
Will there be any vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/special diet options?
Answer
The chef is happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions. He has asked that we provide them with plenty of notice so please notify us of any dietary restrictions in your RSVP.
Question
Where are you registered?
Answer
We have decided not do a registry, as we feel that your presence is far more important than presents! There will be a card box at the castle for those who would like to contribute to our honeymoon.
Question
Will transportation be provided to/from the Castle?
Answer
We ask that all guests arrange their own transportation depending on their needs.
Question
Is there breakfast provided?
Answer
The Lodge will be providing an Irish breakfast for the day of the wedding and the day after.
Question
Do I have to mail back my RSVP or can I RSVP online?
Answer
