Cocktail Attire.
We suggest coming a few days prior so that you have time to settle in, explore the area, and adjust to the time-difference sooner rather than later. However, please feel free to plan trips before/after the event too! We have hotel blocks reserved under the "Travel" tab, and we recommend using that to get a discounted rate. We are so grateful for you coming all this way to celebrate with us!
YES! Prior to traveling, you will need to fill out an ESTA waiver with the US government. This essentially serves as your travel VISA, but is required to be filled out before getting on your flights, as otherwise you will not pass border control. Please use the following official link to complete the form, and print a paper copy of your form/confirmation to bring with you just in case. https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/
In our many trips across the pond, Colm and I have found that typically the cheapest flight paths are either Heathrow (LHR) to Dulles (IAD), or Leeds (LBA)/Manchester (MAN) to Dublin (DUB) to Dulles (IAD). Going through Dublin allows for US Customs pre-clearance, but of course you can also find direct flight paths too where you'll clear customs once you land in America.
At this time, we will not require masks at our outdoor ceremony or our indoor reception. However, we do kindly ask our guests to consider getting their COVID vaccine/booster if they have not already to maximize everyone's safety. This situation is evolving day to day, and we will keep this page updated should anything change.
