How beautiful is this castle? This is where we'll be having our welcome party and reception! The hotel has reserved a block of rooms for our wedding guests. Below are available room options open for your choosing. Photos of the rooms can be found in the Gallery tab. Once you make your choice, reach directly out to Yasmeen (our amazing wedding planner) at info@ladybirdeverafter.com with your name, party number and room type. She will assist in holding the room. The room types are: - 1x King - 1x double - 2x double (bunk bed style) - 1x boat bed (a unique old Irish boat that has been refurbished and structured as a bed) Rooms range from Abbey Rooms at €95 per person sharing Baronial Rooms at €115 per person sharing State Rooms/Suites €135 per person sharing Upon emailing Ana your request, she will go into details about which rooms are available and the associated price. Room blocks are held from check-in on the 24th through to checkout on the morning of the 27th. You are more than welcome to stay longer or come earlier, but those are the guaranteed reserved dates, so be sure to book early if you want to stay longer. To reserve your choice of rooms, please reach out directly to Ana at Weddings@kinnittycastlehotel.com and mention the Paul Wedding. Meals: Breakfast will be included for each morning you are there.

Flight
Dublin Airport (Irish: Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath) -- Airport Code = DUB
Fly into Dublin International Airport. I suggest coming in on the 23rd to enjoy Dublin for an evening and then head out to Kinnitty Castle Tuesday 24th in time for the Welcome Dinner that evening. You can choose to fly out anytime after the 25th. The events on the 26th are entirely optional, but we would love to go on a little adventure with you if you so care to join!
Rental Car
Auto Europe - Pickup Location: Dublin Airport
In my research, I have found this website to offer the best prices. Be sure to set your country to UNITED STATES (you will get different rates if you are set to a different country). TIPS AND TRICKS: Note that the vehicles are significantly smaller in Europe and their gas is per liter, which means the smaller vehicle is better on your pocket for gas! Don't forget... the Irish drive on the LEFT-HAND side of the road. You are permitted to drive in Ireland with a valid US State Driver's License. Please refer to the government policies here: https://ie.usembassy.gov/driving-in-ireland/ International Driver's Licenses are NOT required. Please review the Road Safety Authority of Ireland's website for road safety tips: https://www.rsa.ie/en/RSA/Licensed-Drivers/Driving-in-Ireland Lastly, to save a little money, be sure to check with your credit card company to see if they offer any rental car insurance coverage.
