Renew our Vows

My husband and I have decided to renew our wedding vows in July. It is our 20th anniversary, and we want to travel to Ireland to do it. We have never been and have no idea where to go or where to book. Any information would be much appreciated.

We are looking for a place where we can have a party of about 25 to 30 people. Get married in a small church, then a reception/party with a local Irish band. We want it to be a casual affair, not too fussy. We are inviting our family and wedding party to join us, so we will also need accommodation close by.

Any ideas would be great. 

Thanks,
Tracy Quinn

Hello Tracy, 

It is wonderful to hear that you and your husband are planning on celebrating your anniversary by renewing your vows here this summer! :) I would love to point you in the right direction for more information and tips for an unforgettable day. 

First of all, I recommend taking a look at these super helpful Ireland Wedding Tips, with everything from general information, perfect wedding venues, wedding adventures, traditional Irish weddings and more. 

• Renew Marriage Vows
• Vow Renewal
• Destination Wedding in Ireland

Thank you for your response and for the information. I will check the links out. We will be flying into Dublin and we don't really want more that a 2-3 hour drive from there to our destination to make it easier on elderly family members. I have looked into Doolin and Dingle so far. Any suggestions you could offer would be much appreciated.

Hi Tracy, 

Thank you for getting back so quickly! :) 

Doolin and Dingle are both absolutely lovely, and would make for a great wedding location. Since you would like to limit your travel time to a maximum of around 3 hours, Doolin would be your best choice in this case. The drive (without stopping) would take just a little over 3 hours in total from Dublin. 

To get to Dingle would take around 4,5 hours by car, but you could always decide to stay in a different town closer to Dublin, and drive there on the day of the ceremony.

Are you planning on renting a car while you're here? Take a look at the Vehicle Rental Information page for more helpful tips. 

Warm regards,

Melin

Hi Tracy,

Congratulations on your 20th wedding anniversary and what a lovely way to mark this occasion by renewing your vows!

I know you mentioned a small church but might I suggest a slightly more unique location on the North Coast of Northern Ireland?  Mussenden Temple is located in the beautiful surroundings of Downhill Demesne near Castlerock in County Londonderry.  It perches dramatically on a 120ft cliff top, high above the Atlantic Ocean on the north-western coast, offering spectacular views westwards over Downhill Strand towards Magilligan Point and County Donegal.

The temple was built in 1785 and forms part of the estate of Frederick Augustus Hervey, Bishop of Derry and Earl of Bristol.  Built as a summer library, its architecture was inspired by the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli, near Rome.  

Both the temple and the surrounding views are among the most photographed scenes in Ireland and the temple itself is available for civil wedding ceremonies through arrangement with the National Trust!

Should you have any further questions about any of the above, please get in touch with Coleraine Visitor Information Centre and we will be happy to help.  We also offer an accommodation booking service - https://www.visitcausewaycoastandglens.com/
