Have you ever thought about hopping across the Irish Sea to the Emerald Isle and planning your wedding in the stunning countryside of the West of Ireland?
The West of Ireland offers the perfect destination for your dream redding, in particular the stunning landscapes of County Mayo. Located along the Wild Atlantic Way; a dreamy coastal driving route of 2,500 km which weaves and winds through 6 regions, nine counties and three provinces, stretching from County Donegal’s Inishowen Peninsula in Ulster to Kinsale, County Cork, in Munster.
One of the main regions along this coastal route is the Bay Coast stretching from North Mayo to South Galway. In particular Co. Mayo has much to offer for destination weddings not least its many stunning landmarks including Croagh Patrick, the beautiful Atlantic Drive of Achill Island and Clew Bay with its infamous Blue Flag beaches like Keem and Keel strands, The Great Western Greenway a 42 Km cycling and walking trail, cultural and heritage sites such as National Museum of Country Life, Ceide Fields, and that’s just the countryside!
But enough about the geographic and let’s talk about the wedding experiences…. The county boosts a host of castles and vintage manor hotels which provide the perfect wedding destination for those that want to indulge in romance and escapism as part of a unique wedding experience.
