The Wedding Weekend
25 & 26 March 2027
Once guests arrive in Cashel, all wedding celebrations will take place either within the grounds of Cashel Palace Hotel or just a short walk away.
We recommend arriving the day before the wedding to settle in, explore the town, and enjoy time together ahead of the celebrations. Both the Wedding Day and Day Two festivities will take place within easy reach.
With accommodation, dining, and historic landmarks all nearby, we hope guests will have the opportunity to enjoy their time in Ireland before and after the wedding weekend.
