Are the ceremony and reception at the same venue?

Yes — both are at Lir.

Yes — there are plenty of parking spaces at the venue.

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to limited space at the venue, we unfortunately cannot accommodate additional guests. Please do reach out if you have any questions!

Can I RSVP for more than one person?

It would be greatly appreciated if each individual attending could complete the form separately.

Should we bring a gift?

Your presence is our present! We are so grateful to have your company on our special day.

To Ireland

We recommend flying to Belfast International (not Belfast City) — this is slightly closer to the North Coast and has more flights from London.

To the North Coast

The best option is renting a car from the airport for the weekend.

You can also get the train to Coleraine or Portrush from Belfast Central Station (if you're flying to Belfast City) or Antrim Station (if you're flying to Belfast International), but this can take a long time and trains are relatively infrequent.

If you need help arranging your transport, let us know!

Back to your hotel

Taxis will be available throughout the night after the wedding to take you back to your hotel.

Taxis

Unfortunately Uber hasn't made it to the North Coast, so we recommend using local taxi firms to get around.

Local transport

If you aren't renting a car, there is a train that goes from Coleraine to Portrush, and to Castlerock, and buses connect most places. However, these are fairly infrequent. What the North Coast lacks in transport infrastructure, it makes up in natural beauty.

The hotels below are a good starting point. There are also some great AirBnbs and B&Bs — we recommend looking in Portrush or Portstewart.
