We're going black tie optional, with the bridal party in tuxedos. Suits and ties are warmly welcome, and for women, anything from a full length gown to a midi dress is perfect. We're not strict on the rules here, so please wear what makes you feel your best, whether that's a bold colour, a favourite fabric, or something you've been looking for an excuse to wear!

We absolutely love your little ones, but we have chosen to have an adults-only celebration, with the exception of immediate family members. We know this might take a little organising and we appreciate your understanding! If you need your child on site for any reason or have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Feena or Cormac and we'll do our best to help.

We're having an unplugged ceremony, please put phones and cameras away so you can be fully present with us. Our wonderful photographer will capture every moment and we'll share a gallery with you after the day. You're very welcome to take photos during the reception and dancing.

The ceremony begins at 1:00 pm sharp. Please aim to be seated by 12:45 pm.

Having you with us is all we could ask for. But if you'd like to give a gift, a contribution to our honeymoon would mean the world to us.

Absolutely. Please complete the dietary section of the RSVP form and we'll make sure the kitchen is fully briefed. If you have a severe allergy or complex requirements, please also email feenaosullivan@gmail.com or WhatsApp Feena or Cormac directly so we can speak with the chef personally.

Yes, please do! We'd love a session for anyone who wants to get involved. Instruments are welcome and we'll keep the music going right through until the 2am bar extension.

We'd love for you to share the magic of the day! Feel free to post photos of the venue, the estate grounds, and yourselves. We do kindly ask that you hold off on posting any photos or videos of the bride and groom until after we've shared our first pictures ourselves. We want to be the ones to reveal the big moment! Thank you so much for respecting this, it means a lot to us.

We've specifically catered our invites to include everyone's partners and other halves. However, if someone isn't included on your invite and you'd like to bring them along, please reach out to Feena or Cormac directly and we'll do our best to help.

Yes! We will be organising a coach at the end of the night to drop guests within a 30 minute radius of the estate, covering Kilkenny City and Thomastown. If you are travelling outside of this area, we'd recommend arranging a taxi in advance.

Yes, there is plenty of free parking available on site at Mount Juliet Estate.

Yes, Uber and Free Now both operate in the area, and there are a number of local taxi services available too. However, do bear in mind that late November falls right in the busy Christmas period, so if you are pressed for time getting home, we'd recommend booking a taxi in advance to avoid any wait.

We'll be making the most of every moment on the day itself, so there won't be a day two. We hope to see you well rested and ready to celebrate on the 28th!

Life happens! Please email feenaosullivan@gmail.com or WhatsApp Feena or Cormac directly as soon as possible. We'll do our very best to accommodate changes before the 28th of September.
