The dress code for our wedding is cocktail attire. We invite you to dress to impress for this special occasion!
-
Our plan is to hold the wedding ceremony outdoors on the beautiful grounds of Temple House. However, if the weather doesn’t cooperate, we will move the ceremony indoors within the house.
-
There will be canapés after the ceremony, and a four-course dinner in the evening. For anyone feeling peckish after some drinks and dancing, we’ll have late-night snacks! As it’s a smaller venue, guests will need to choose their starter and main course in advance.
Temple House also caters to vegan and gluten-free diets, so please let us know on the form if you have specific dietary needs.
-
We will be serving complimentary drinks at the reception and during dinner. There will also be a full bar, with drinks for purchase.

While your presence at our wedding is present enough, we know some guests may wish to give a gift. We don’t have a registry, but cards can be left with Gavin’s dad, Kevin.

On the day after the wedding (Sunday), we have booked 2 slots for the Hot Box Sauna at Rosses Point. The first slot starts at 12pm, the second at 12.50pm, each lasting 45 minutes. Join for whichever one you can (limit is 16 people per sauna session).
For anyone who isn't going to the sauna (or who wants to have some coffee/brunch before or after their dip), tables have been reserved under Cathy's name down the road at the Driftwood Cafe at 12 noon.

You will need to bring your bathing suit and a towel. If you don’t have a towel we will have a few or you can po into any Dunnes Stores and grab a relatively inexpensive towel.
