Tips for Planning an Irish Castle Wedding

continued from page 1

What special considerations should brides remember when planning a castle wedding? 
 
If a bride is planning a private castle wedding, my advice would be to vistit the location before.  Even for my clients getting married in Ireland, I usually recommend that they take a peak at the location during off-peak season when airfares are as cheap as $300 round trip.  This expense is worth every penny.  It will give you great peace of mind and will allow you to take very specific notes about the location.  Remember to take notes, ask lots of questions and be sure to ask what was the best wedding at the location and why.

Can you suggest an Irish wedding tradition which brides might like to incorporate into their own nuptials?
 
For brides getting married in Ireland or having an Irish wedding, I suggest you get a copy of Bridget Hagerty's book The Traditional Irish Wedding.

It is full of wonderful traditions and suggestions to make your wedding authentic and memorable.
