FAQ for USA & UK Couples Planning a Wedding in Ireland
Can we legally get married in Ireland as a US couple?
Yes! Non-residents can legally marry in Ireland. You must give at least 3 months’ notice to the HSE Registrar and may need to attend an in-person appointment. Your celebrant (like Michele Feeney) will guide you through the legal steps.
Can UK couples legally get married in Ireland after Brexit?
Yes. UK citizens can still legally marry in Ireland. You’ll need to give at least 3 months’ notice to the HSE Registrar and may be required to attend an in-person meeting. Your celebrant will help guide the process.
Is Cloghan Castle a good venue for an intimate destination wedding?
Absolutely. Cloghan Castle is perfect for smaller weddings with 20–60 guests, offering both indoor and outdoor ceremony options, luxurious rooms, and complete privacy for the entire day.
Do we need a wedding planner if we’re flying in from the US or UK?
While it’s not required, having a local planner or working with a photographer familiar with Irish venues can help coordinate vendors, schedules, and legal requirements efficiently—especially for destination weddings.
Can we include American or British traditions during our Irish wedding?
Of course! Many couples blend cultural traditions—like unity ceremonies, first looks, or personal vows—into their Irish castle weddings. Cloghan Castle is flexible and welcoming to all cultures.
How far is Cloghan Castle from a major airport?
Cloghan Castle is about 1.5–2 hours from Shannon Airport or Dublin Airport by car. Transportation for guests can be arranged via private bus or shuttle service.
Is there accommodation on-site for guests?
Yes. Cloghan Castle offers several luxurious bedrooms for the couple and closest family or friends. Additional accommodation can be arranged in nearby Loughrea or Galway.
Can we bring our own vendors (photographer, florist) from the UK or US?
Yes, but many local vendors specialize in destination weddings. UK vendors are allowed to work in Ireland if insured. I regularly work with international couples and offer both photography and vendor guidance.
What’s the best season for a destination wedding in Ireland?
May through September offer the best light and weather for outdoor weddings, but Irish castles like Cloghan are stunning year-round—especially with moody winter light.
How soon should we book our destination wedding in Ireland?
Ideally 12–18 months in advance, especially for summer weddings or full castle buyouts. I recommend booking your venue and key vendors early to secure your dates.
