Flight
We recommend all international guests to fly into the Dublin Airport. From here, you can rent a car to get to Kildare which is about an hour drive through the beautiful Irish countryside. Please remember that Ireland is on GMT (8 hours ahead of Las Vegas) and to account for the large time difference from the States. Plan accordingly for jet leg and time getting settled. For those not used to Irish weddings, you'll want a good night's rest the night before.... it will be a late night :)
Hotel
We would love our guests to stay at the Castle for both Friday (June 3rd) & Saturday (June 4th) if possible. We would also recommend our guests to book the hotel as soon as possible as there is a wedding the day before and after ours. There are a few room options available with our code: - Deluxe Lodge Room €170 per night -includes breakfast - 2 people (overlooking the golf course & 3 minute walk to the castle) - Deluxe Carriage Room €210 per night - includes breakfast - 2 people (located within the Courtyard of Kilkea Castle) - 3 bedroom self catering cottage €440 per night - 6 people (overlooking the gold course & 3 minute walk to the castle) Please use our wedding discount code below & book at www.kilkeacastle.ie The website can be a bit tricky to use or say there are not rooms when there are so please feel free to reach out for help! Carlow is the next closest town with great hotel options and about a 20 minute drive from Kilkea Castle.

Rental Car
It's not necessary to rent a car while in Dublin as the city is accessible by foot and has plenty of public transport via bus, train and taxi. If you're planning on traveling outside Dublin, you can rent a car at the airport or the train will take you almost anywhere. Reminder for Americans that Ireland drives on the other side of the road and most cars are usually stick shift!
Shuttle
June 3, 2022 10:00 am - 11:15 am
A shuttle will pick up guests from the Hyatt Centric Dublin hotel at 10am on Friday June 3rd for those that do not have a rental car. The same shuttle will leave the Kilkea Castle on Sunday June 5th and head back to Dublin City Centre at 2pm. This is €6 a person each way.
Travel Note
Ireland is one of our most favorite countries in the world and we believe we are experts on the area! We absolutely recommend staying a few days either before or after the wedding to see other parts of the country.
