Yes! We have a block of 25 rooms at the Armada Hotel for our guests on the night of the wedding. These rooms are first come, first serve, so we recommend booking early to secure the discounted wedding rate. To reserve a room, please call the hotel directly and mention our wedding date along with both of our surnames: Cross/Buckley. If you do not secure one of the first 25 rooms, don't worry – the hotel has plenty of additional rooms available, but they will be offered at the standard rate. We hope you'll stay with us and make a full weekend of the celebration by the sea!
Nope! Everything is happening on the grounds of the Armada Hotel, so there is no need to worry about transportation between venues. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception are all in one beautiful location, just steps apart.
Yes! We are planning a relaxed Day 2 pub crawl in Listowel, the hometown of Jerry and Siobhán! If you are thinking of staying overnight, the Listowel Arms Hotel is right in town and steps away from a number of our favorite pubs. We will share more details on the Schedule page in the coming weeks!
August is one of the warmest months in Ireland, especially along the West Coast. In Spanish Point, you can expect mild temperatures, typically ranging from 55°F to 65°F (13°C to 18°C). While it is often pleasantly cool and breezy light rain is always a possibility – this is Ireland after all! We recommend packing layers, a light jacket, and definitely a raincoat just in case. The coastal views are stunning rain or shine, and we hope for clear skies on the big day!
Euros are the local currency, but many places also accept Apple Pay and other contactless payments. You can easily withdraw cash from ATMs or visit a local bank if needed. To avoid any issues with your cards, please let your bank know your travel dates to prevent transactions from being flagged or declined.
We love your little ones, but to help us plan accordingly, children are welcome only if they are specifically named on your invitation or if invitations are addressed to the entire family (i.e. The Smith Family).
We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Dress to impress in your best formal or cocktail attire. Please no jeans/denim and kindly avoid shades of white. The ceremony will be held outside weather dependent.
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!
