Did you know you can rent an entire castle resort in ireland?
As the sun gently peeks through the chiffon-draped window, you awaken to the sound of birdsong on a gentle breeze. Gazing up at the soft pink canopy, you still can’t believe you’re actually getting married in a castle! Then, like clockwork, there’s a knock at your door. Room service is delivering breakfast in bed to your bridal suite and just as the door is about to close, you could swear you heard a familiar voice coming from down the hall. You peek your head out, and there they are, your BFF who just arrived. The two of you let out a squeal of excitement and scurry back to sip some bubbly before you slip into your matching robes and frolic around the grounds before heading to get your glam on at the salon on-site. Normally, you wouldn’t leave your room without being fully dressed for the day, but since you’ve rented the entire castle, why the heck not?
No, this isn’t a sneak peek at the latest season of Bridgerton, this could be your real-life wedding day if you get married at Luttrellstown Castle, Europe’s Leading Luxury Wedding Resort for 2023 and 2024.
