McKenzie and Grant's wedding has a set of rooms blocked off for the night of the wedding, October 22nd, for close family and friends who are helping with the wedding. Those guests who wish to take on of these rooms can contact McKenzie. For all other nights in Ireland, guests will need to book another hotel or Air BnB in the vicinity of the venue.
That's up to you! Most likely you'll need to start with a plane ticket. If I were you, I'd plan to be in town from the 20th-24th. That way you have some time to get settled and then some time to enjoy the Irish country side.
Where do I stay when in Ireland? The Castle?
You certainly can. McKenzie and Grant have a block of rooms for the night of the wedding. But for the rest of your stay you'll need to get a hotel or air bnb of your own preferably close enough to the venue to get there in time for the day of the event. Kinnitty is a bit expensive so a week in the castle probably isn't necessary. If you want to use one of the rooms the night of the event, send McKenzie a message. But be warned that these rooms are prioritized for friends and family helping out with the wedding.
When should I book my flight?
When I just now Googled how far in advance I can book a flight, the AI generated answer was six to nine months. So I suggest booking your plane tickets around this far in advance.
Are my kids allowed at this wedding?
Fuck yeah they are. But be warned the flight to Ireland can be quite long. But that's on you. You're the one traveling with them, not me.
When should I book my accomodation?
This question boasts another question. How much risk do you want in booking this accommodation? If you wait until the last minute, then you will have far less to choose from, will probably spend more, and may be further from the venue. If you want this to be the case, book whenever. Otherwise, you may want to book as soon as you are sure that you can travel to Ireland for this wedding. Hope this helps.
How do I get around Ireland or to the venue?
You will either need to use a taxi, ride share app, or rent a car when in Ireland in order to get from one place to another - similar to any other country in the world. If you'd like to rent a car you will need an international drivers license.
