Question

What transportation options are there?

Answer

For a full breakdown of how to get to the venue please see the travel section of our wedding website. If you want to explore the more rural parts of Ireland, we'd recommend renting a car. However, the Irish rail train system will be able to take you to every major city and will get you within 30 minutes of the venue. For more info on rental cars and the Irish Rail system, check out the "Travel" page.

Question

We plan on renting a car what type of car should we get?

Answer

We recommend getting the smallest car you can. Also, a majority of cars in Ireland are stick shift, if you aren't used to driving stick we'd definitely recommend getting an automatic. Especially for the Americans and Australians, the roads are much tighter than you're used to back home and you will be grateful to have the smaller car! When we did our road trip around Ireland in 2022 we had a VW Polo. There were many times we were grateful to have a smaller car and a few where it would have been nice to have an automatic!
