Welcome Party - Monday, August 3, 2026
Lydon’s Lodge - Cong, County Mayo, Ireland - 5:00pm
We’re kicking things off with a proper Irish welcome at Lydon’s Pub, the kind of traditional pub where the pints are perfectly poured, the music has a mind of its own, and strangers become friends within five minutes (ten, if you’re shy). Join us for dinner, drinks, and a live Irish band that will almost certainly inspire a sing-along, a foot tap, or someone attempting to dance a jig with questionable accuracy.
It’s the perfect way to ease into the festivities, meet everyone, and embrace a bit of Irish craic before the big day. Come hungry, come thirsty, and be ready for a truly Irish night.
The Wedding Day - Tuesday, August 4, 2026
Ashford Castle - Cong, County Mayo, Ireland
Located in County Mayo, Ashford Castle is a place where history, nature, and “wow, this place is fancy” all meet. The 800-year-old castle is surrounded by peaceful woodlands, scenic lakes, and enough activities to keep even the most energetic guests busy—from falconry to fishing to simply pretending you live here now. We’re thrilled to share this incredible spot with you for a few days.

Drone Footage & Photography
We’ll be capturing our special day with professional drone footage of the castle and grounds, along with photography from our wonderful photographer. We look forward to sharing these magical moments with you afterward. To help us stay present and preserve the atmosphere of the ceremony, we kindly ask that you keep your phones off during this part of the celebration. Thank you for honoring this request and being fully with us in the moment.
Dress Code: Formal Garden Attire
We kindly request formal attire. It’s a castle wedding, and showing up underdressed just feels historically inaccurate.
Please note: Part of our celebration will take place on the castle's lawn and garden paths. Ladies, you may want to consider footwear accordingly. Scott - No onesies!
