Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

We can not afford to fund everyone's drinking habits till 2am so we will have an open bar (beer and wine only) for half of the night then it will turn into a cash bar.

Question

Do I need a Passport?

Answer

YES! If you have not traveled internationally you will need a passport. I would start the process now since the process takes some time especially since there are delays due to COVID. If you have a passport make sure it is up-to-date and not going to expire in the next year.

Question

Will Doolin be crowded since it is St Patrick's day?

Answer

YES! I would make sure you book B&Bs ASAP because Doolin has a St Patrick's Day Parade that they put on in the town so please plan accordingly. Those who are traveling the day of the wedding please note you will probably hit some traffic so would recommend coming early to enjoy the parade and a pint of beer! Parade starts at 1:30 https://doolin.ie/saint-patricks-day-parade/
