Once we have gotten everyone's RSVP and preferences, we will be assigning all our guests to rooms/lodges and submitting that list to the castle. You will then reference our wedding and pay when you arrive in July. For castle guests, you do not have to contact the castle yourself to book any castle rooms. For those staying at the lodges, however, we will email you information on how to book your lodge (via phone call or email).
Unfortunately the check-in time at the Castle coincides with our ceremony time. Here are some options/suggestions: (1) You can come to the castle already dressed, leave your stuff in the car, and then officially check in right after the ceremony. There will be time between the ceremony and the reception to do so. (2) You can mostly get ready prior to arriving and then do a quick change in the main lobby bathrooms (they are a good size and clean), and again check in right after the ceremony. (3) If you are a female and want to come and change more leisurely and hang out with the bride and the bridal party, you are welcome to come on up to the Presidential Suite of the Castle. No boys allowed! (4) If you are, however, a boy, you can hang out with the groom's party (location TBD). (5) There are a number of people who will already be checked in from the night before so you can hang out with one of them as well!
You can check out the Castle website (accommodations page) for a list of most amenities. Here is a short list of essentials: toiletries, hair dryer, bathrobes, slippers, complimentary Nespresso coffee machine with pods & Irish Breakfast tea, free wifi, free parking
