How do I get to the Carton House? The Carton House is located less than 30 minutes from the Dublin Airport. Should you choose to rent a car, The Carton House does have parking available on site. Note that if it will be your first time driving in Ireland, there are some differences in driving wheel placement (it is on the right side as opposed to the left). Also, the driving lanes are "reverse" of here, so that does take bit of patience and practice. That being said, if you choose not to rent a car and prefer not to take a taxi, the hotel has provided the following recommendations: Swords Coaches 086.776 5379 SwordsCoaches@gmail.com Irish Chauffeurs/Luxury Tours Courtyard 01.801 9810 info@irishchauffeurs.com Classic Cars Limited 01.485 4407 info@courtyardclassiccars.com
While we absolutely love all of your little ones, we want everyone to be able to let their hair down and have a ton of fun, including the parents! We have chosen to have a child free wedding (excluding those taking part in the ceremony). For those who choose to bring their children along on the trip, (we are so excited to see them and cannot wait to enjoy Ireland with you and your kiddos) we have the following recommendations for child care. https://www.weddingnanny.net/ https://nanniesforweddings.ie/ We, personally, used The Wedding Nanny to watch our two nephews when we were last at The Carton House and they were absolutely wonderful. While we recommend them highly, this is a personal decision for your family, so please feel free to do your own research.
We are planning to host a Welcome Drinks reception at The Carton House on the evening before the wedding (Friday 1st of May) at 8:00 pm. We would love to see you there, but please feel free to arrive whenever is best for you and your family. Just make sure it leaves you time to kick the jet lag and be ready for the Ceremony. We are currently planning for a 2:30 pm start time on Saturday, but we will update this information when it is confirmed.
The dress code is Formal/Black Tie Optional. Men in suit and tie, and women in cocktail dresses or floor length dresses.
