7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Cocktail-Casual attire
Join us for some libations and tapas-sized bites before we set our sights on the sprawling Temple Bar area.
Thu, Oct 3, 2024, 9:30 pm - Fri, Oct 4, 2024, 12:00 am
What's better than finger foods and fists full of pints? More pints! Following the welcome party at Bad Bob's, we'd like you all to experience the local culture in the Temple Bar area. And by "local culture" of course I mean "A Guinness or six, or seven, or eight". This will be unstructured, with groups going to different pubs in the area, so be prepared to moving around a bunch. This is an optional, informal event that we hope brings our attendees together.
11:00 am - 11:30 am
Shuttle Bus #1 to Tinakilly Estate
This is the first of only two shuttle busses we'll offer our guests to utilize to bring you from the hotel in Dublin to Tinakilly Estate & Country House. The ride is between 45-60 minutes. IMPORTANT: Please let us know if you'll be renting a car or will plan on using one of the shuttles provided by filling out the survey on the FAQ page.
11:45 am - 11:45 am
The second and final shuttle down to Tinakilly. I don't think anyone will miss this bus, but if you do, there are public bussing options available that will drop you about a mile from Tinakilly Country House.
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
You'll use this time to sip some champagne, check-in to your room—should it be available—and wander the grounds for a bit before being seated for the ceremony.
2:00 pm - 2:45 pm
Formal Cocktail
It's here! We'll have a quick ceremony to seal the deal and marry. Come join us on the great lawn. Should it rain, the venue has backup options. But let's think happy thoughts instead, yeah?
2:45 pm - 4:45 pm
Formal Cocktail
As the Irish say, it's time for the 'drinks reception' (cocktail hour for most Americans). Let's kick off the celebrations and explore the grounds with a few drinks and some light acoustic music.

Formal Cocktail
Yes, the hours are accurate! This is, apparently, normal for Irish weddings. So let's be normal and be merry—with food, libations, music, dancing, and more. For guests staying on the premises, your accommodations are a wobbly walk away. For all those staying in one of our selected nearby hotels, we're working to get a taxi or two to run back and forth at different intervals. Those exact details will be ironed out at a later date.
8:00 am - 10:00 am
Casual
Breakfast will be served downstairs at Tinakilly from 8am until 10am.
11:00 am
After checking out and eating, we'll have two buses departing from Tinakilly and heading back up to Dublin. IMPORTANT: These buses do NOT go back to the Travelodge Dublin City Centre. Instead, you will be dropped off at Busáras, which is a central bus stop in Dublin 1. To get from Busáras to the Airport, guests can easily transfer to a public bus via Dublin Express. The travel time is ~30 minutes and the cost is around 8-15 euro.
