Across The Country?

Looking to travel more around Ireland after the wedding?
Everyone is welcome to join Molly and Joe in Galway City, Ireland, ~2 hours across the country. It's the perfect place to start the rest of your trip (if your heart desires!) and where Molly studied. From Galway, many day trips can be made, specifically to the famous Cliffs of Moher & Aran Islands.
Where to Next?
After June 20, 2024
Molly & Joe decided to have their wedding in Ireland for many reasons.
One of them being the opportunity for those they love most to have a once in a lifetime adventure and experience. If you decide to join us in Galway, Molly and Joe will be (most likely) leaving Galway on June 22 or June 23, so please do whats best for you! Whether that be stay in Ireland for more time, explore the rest of Europe or head home, our only wish is that you enjoy the Emerald Isle as much as we do.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What if I can't make it to Ireland?
No worries at all! There will be a party to celebrate Joe & Molly back in Hudson, Ohio in July 2024.
Can I bring a plus one?
Unfortunately, due to space limitations, we cannot have all of our guests bring a guest of their own unless they are specifically named on the invitation. Thank you so much for understanding.
Will there be a break in between the ceremony and reception?
No, we'll roll right into the craic (AKA fun in Irish)! Ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception all take place at The Killeen Castle.
Is everyone invited to all of the events leading up to and after the wedding?
Yes! All of our favorite people are in one place, we want to soak in every second together.
Where is The Killeen Castle?
The Killeen Castle is ~30 minutes outside of Dublin in County Meath. This area is known for its archaeological sites & stunning grasslands.
Will The Killeen Castle Lodges run out of space for all of us to stay?
Yes - it could. Immediate family, grandparents and bridal party will be staying on the grounds, and we're hoping depending on the RSVP head count, majority can also stay on the grounds. It's important to let Molly & Joe know ASAP if you are wanting to stay on the grounds. If you don't there are numerous other accommodations in the area (list of these will be added to the website soon).
What is the dress code?
Whatever you feel most happy in! Preferably cocktail attire. The wedding ceremony will be taking place in the beautiful gardens of the castle. Wildflowers will be blooming!
