The Dunadry Hotel and Gardens
If the walls within our iconic venue could speak, they would tell many stories of times gone by, dating back to the 1600’s when it housed the High Kings of Ireland, to its days as a Paper Mill and a Linen Mill before it took form as a hotel.
The Dunadry hotel is home to 72 luxurious bedrooms ranging from Classic, Executive and Suites, and to Dunadry Health & Fitness Club, including fully equipped gym, indoor heated pool and thermal areas.
There is a special wedding rate of £149 per night for rooms booked to attend the wedding. Please let them know you are attending our wedding when you are booking.

Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please let us know if you can join us by Friday 2nd December 2022. Thanks so much!
What will the weather be like?
The weather in Ireland is often wet and a bit cold, especially in winter months. We are expecting this will be the case on our wedding day. Our day will all be in the same venue so, other than going to and from your car, you shouldn't have to be outside. But if we are graced with an unexpectedly dry day please feel free to make the most of it!
Where should I park?
There is lots of free parking at the hotel.
Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
Yes, everything will be on the ground floor of the hotel and there are accessible toilets available also.
What should I wear?
Something you feel fabulous in!
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Everything is inside (we're taking no chances with the Irish weather)!
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Whatever you want!
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
We would love for you to take photos of the day and share them with us after. We won't be able to see every part of our day and we don't want to miss anything! There will be a photo booth in the evening and we would encourage everyone to take silly pictures so we can see you all :)
Our celebrant will give instructions about photography during the ceremony.
Will you live stream your ceremony?
Yes! We are planning to stream the ceremony for those who can't make it on the day. This is the link:
You should be able to navigate back to this page from there. We hope you enjoy our ceremony!
Are kids welcome?
Unfortunately, we are restricted by numbers at the venue so the only children we can accommodate at the wedding will be our own nieces and nephews. We are very sorry if this impacts your decision but we hope you are still able to make it to share our day.
What is the purpose of the stamped paper in my invite?
This is seeded paper containing wildflower seeds (a mix of Sweet Alyssum, Baby's Breath, Poppy and Basil with some sheets also containing Rudbeckia). By following the instructions on the invite you can use this to grow these at your own home. We wanted to give everyone the gift of some fresh flowers and something for the bees to pollinate. If you live in Australia you won't have received these as we didn't want our invites in quarantine.
