FAQs
Question
Can we bring our children?
Answer
To allow all our guests a night of relaxation and revelry, our wedding events will be adults-only. However, if you'd like to bring your children to Ireland and make it more of a family vacation, we'd encourage you to bring childcare (grandparents!) or hire on-site Irish childcare. We've vetted a fantastic nanny service that we'll be using for our girls during the welcome party, ceremony and reception—let us know if you are interested and we can give you pricing and details. Please note that we cannot accommodate additional guests in the castle so if you will be traveling with grandparents or nannys, we can suggest some great family friendly accommodations nearby.

Question
What will the weather be like in Ireland at that time of year?
Answer
May is known for mild, pleasant spring weather, generally considered one of the driest and sunniest times of the year in Ireland. Average temperatures range from daytime highs of 60's to nighttime lows of 40's with long daylight hours. Still, it is Ireland, so be prepared for rain, wind and varied unpredictable conditions. Another fun fact, we'll have 16 hours of daylight (sun doesn't set until 9:30 in Ireland in the spring!)
Question
Will I need a converter to plug in my electronics?
Answer
Yes! Ireland uses Type G electrical outlets (three rectangular pins) with a 230V/50Hz supply, requiring visitors from the US use a plug adapter. You will need a Type G adapter for standard electronics. This one is a great option: https://a.co/d/03Cs1WTH For high-power devices (hair dryers, straighteners) you'll likely need a voltage converter. A few options: -Use the hotel provided hair dryer -Bring a dual voltage hair dryer/straightener -Bring a voltage converter (these don't always work since US voltage is much higher than UK)
Question
Will I have to drive on the opposite side of the road....
Answer
Yes....driving around Ireland by car is really the best way to see it but please remember you will have to drive on the opposite side of the road.
