What is the deadline to RSVP?
Kindly RSVP by Friday, 1st May 2026.
Why no ceremony? I love a good mass!
We're having an intimate ceremony in Cornwall in June, so we will have technically tied the knot already.
Are children welcome at the wedding celebration?
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adult-only event, so everyone can relax and enjoy the day.
What are the food options?
Wedding celebration - canapés; meat & vegetarian hot buffet; late-evening pizza & bites. Day 2 - BBQ.
Does the wedding venue have outside space?
Yes, there is decking overlooking the River Shannon. There is no grass to worry about for your heels, ladies.
Can I bring a plus one to the wedding celebration?
We are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation.
Can ladies wear a white or light coloured dress?
No. We already have a bride, and you don't want to see her angry. Best case scenario, you will be directed to the closest Penneys (Primark).
Is there parking at the wedding venue?
No, but there is a range of car parks close by. See near The Strand: https://parkingnearme.ie/westmeath/athlone
What will the weather be like in July?
Rain is always a likely possibility in Ireland! Hopefully, it will be a sunny day, but keep an eye on the forecast closer to the time so you're prepared with a brolly and/or sunglasses.
Will there be a photographer?
Yes. Alex's step-dad, Mike, is kindly going to take some pictures early on in the wedding celebration day. For speeches, please keep phones low so they don't appear in the pictures.
Can we post pictures on social media?
Absolutely. And we'd really love it if you could share your photos with us. There will be QR codes around the venue to upload your pics to.
Are children welcome at day 2?
Yes! Please bring your little angels to day 2. There will be a range of things to keep them entertained. To maintain their energy levels, Red Bull & sweets will also be available. You will be responsible for minding them, though!
Will day 2 be inside or outside?
Weather permitting, a mixture of both! There is an outside area for during the day and a private inside area for day/night.
Is there parking at the day 2 event?
Yes, there is ample parking at The Bounty. If you have a particular passion for car parks, we'd highly recommend Google Image searching "The Bounty Athlone car park" to whet the appetite.
Could I walk to the Day 2 event?
Theoretically, you could walk to anywhere within the island of Ireland, but we wouldn’t recommend Malin Head to Mizen Head. It’s approx. 30 minutes from the Athlone Town Bridge in the centre of town to the venue. It might be one to see how the head is feeling on the day before making such a commitment ;-)
