Irish weddings usually call for formal or cocktail attire. For women, elegant dresses and gowns are perfect. Men typically wear a suit and tie. It’s best to avoid white or ivory outfits, as those colors are reserved for the bride. Since Ireland’s weather can be unpredictable, bringing a shawl is a good idea as there is a very short walk between the ceremony and reception area.
RSVP details will be included with our formal wedding invitations, which we plan to send out by April 2026. Once you receive yours, you’ll be able to RSVP online through our wedding website. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Absolutely! Your health and comfort are very important to us. Please let us know about any food allergies or dietary restrictions as early as possible, ideally when you RSVP, so we can coordinate with the Castle and make sure there’s a safe and delicious option ready for you. If you have any questions or need to update your information, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Please check your invitation for plus one details. If you have questions, feel free to contact us.
Yes, parking is available at the venue.
If you’re arriving at the castle on the morning of the wedding and your room isn’t ready yet, Cabra Castle has private dressing and changing rooms available for guests to freshen up and get ready before the ceremony.
We kindly ask guests to refrain from taking photos during the ceremony to allow everyone to be fully present. Professional photos will be shared afterward.
We suggest arriving the day before the wedding to settle in and join us for welcome drinks at the castle. The wedding is the following day, and we’re also hosting a casual BBQ the day after to keep the fun going. If you can swing it, staying three nights is ideal, but no pressure at all! We completely understand if you’re only able to join for the wedding day itself. We’ll be thrilled to see you whenever you can make it!
Irish weddings are a full-on celebration! Ours will include a ceremony, dinner, drinks, and lots of dancing... and then more drinks and dancing. Things tend to go late and there’s a good chance you’ll end up singing with strangers at the bar by the end of the night. Expect great vibes, plenty of Guinness, and a crowd that knows how to have a good time. Come ready to party!
