Our Story

Ciara & Mark

Even though Galway is a small place, it took a global pandemic for the two of us to finally cross paths! What started out as a couple of pints in Killorans after the Thursday night sea swims, turned into a first date — but not without a catch. Ciara agreed to go on a first date but on one condition: Mark would have to beat Ciara to the finish line — forcing Mark to quite literally swim for his (future) life!

As the world around us changed so much, we found a place of peace and happiness with each other. When normality resumed, Mark returned to London life and Ciara shortly followed. Although London is where we are happily building our life together, Galway will always be home.

Blackrock always had such a special place in our hearts, as it was what brought us together, and so, it was the place where Mark decided to propose!

We can't wait to bring everyone we love together to celebrate our marriage in Adare. Thanks for being part of our story!

Travel & Accommodation

Accommodation

The Dunraven Arms is now fully booked for the wedding weekend.

There are plenty of B&Bs and Airbnbs in Adare village itself. Nearby towns such as Limerick City (16km), Rathkeale (10km) and Patrickswell (10km) also have great options and are a short taxi ride away. We recommend booking early as Adare is popular in summer.

Getting to Adare

Limerick City is approximately 20 minutes away.

Shannon Airport is the nearest airport, approximately 35 minutes away.

On the Day

The church and reception venue are both in Adare village, a short walk apart.
