FAQs

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Please check your invitation for guest information. We have indicated through our invitation the number of guests included in your party.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes! Kids are absolutely welcome. That said, we totally understand if it’s easier for you to come solo or make it a grown-up night out. The venue can recommend local babysitters.

Question

What if I have a dietary restriction?

Answer

Please indicate your dietary restrictions with your RSVP.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Think bright, vibrant, and cocktail! No need to stick to black, we’re hoping for colour and fun. That said, please don’t feel any pressure to buy something new, we’d much rather have you there than a new outfit. For those coming to their first Irish wedding and wondering what’s typical: men usually wear suit and ties. Women wear cocktail dresses and you may see hats or fascinators, but these are optional. But truly, wear whatever makes you feel good and ready to celebrate.

Question

Do you have a gift list?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all, and we are truly grateful to those travelling from afar, we know it comes with great expense, and your being with us means the world. Please don’t feel under any obligation to give more. For those who would like to give a gift, a contribution towards our future together (in lieu of physical gifts) would be deeply appreciated.

Question

Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?

Answer

Yes, with a few notes. The ceremony, reception, and accommodation are all on the same site, with a short walk of about 250 metres between them. The buildings themselves are accessible, but some of the pathways are pebbled, which might be tricky for wheels or anyone unsteady on their feet. If that’s a concern, there’s a taxi available to help shuttle between spots. If you’d like an accessible room or need any extra support on the day, let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

No, like most weddings in Ireland there will not be an open bar, it will however be well stocked and open late into the night.

Question

Is it okay to take pictures during the wedding?

Answer

Yes, please! We’d love for you to snap photos and share them with us. Just a small request, please hold off on taking pictures during the ceremony so everyone can stay fully present. Thanks!

Question

Will there be dancing?

Answer

Absolutely, and it’ll go late into the night! Bring your best moves.

Question

Where should we stay the night before?

Answer

We would recommend staying in Dublin the night before and travelling to the venue the day of the wedding.

Question

What’s a Day 2?

Answer

In Ireland, it’s common for the wedding to roll on into the next day. For us, that means a relaxed, optional get-together at a pub in Dublin. We’ll be there from mid-afternoon, but feel free to arrive whenever it suits you. If you’re planning to explore the rest of Ireland or need to catch a flight, please don’t feel pressured to come. We’re just so grateful you’ll be spending the wedding day with us.

Question

How do we get to Clonabreany House?

Answer

There are numerous options to get to the venue. Shuttle from Dublin: If there is demand, we will run a bus operating from Dublin to the venue the morning of Saturday, Feburary 21st, and one returning to Dublin the morning after the wedding. Please indicate your interest in your RSVP. By Car: For those driving, Clonabreany is just outside of Kells, which is easily access by the M3 motorway from Dublin. It's takes a little over an hour to drive there from Dublin. By public transport: Bus Éireann runs the 109 bus every hour from Dublin to Kells. There is no public transport connection from Kells to the venue, but Taxis are available in the town.

About 8 weeks before the wedding Clonabreany House will contact you directly to take payment for your accommodation. They have been provided your contact details.

Question

How much are the rooms on site?

Answer

The price depends on the room in particular, but for 2 people sharing the price doesn't exceed €250.

Question

I plan to stay in nearby accomodation, will there be transport?

Answer

We will organize transportation that will bring people to Kells and nearby accommodation in the evening. The venue can provide a number for a taxi if needed.
