We have to admit, a dream of ours has always been to tie the knot overlooking a scenic background.
If you too have dreamt of saying ‘I do’ with the sun shining down as you say your vows or listening to the waves crash as you share your first kiss as a married couple, you are in luck! Outdoor weddings have finally got the green light in Ireland and one location that immediately came to mind is Inchydoney headland; which we have to admit is the perfect backdrop for the big day. The idyllic headland overlooks the stunning Inchydoney Bay and offers unparalleled dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean that make it the perfect location for the perfect wedding.
The recently renovated headland at the foot of the hotel overlooks not only the Atlantic Ocean but two beautiful Blue Flag beaches and an unrivalled coastline. The €300,000 redevelopment focused on natural harmony and the seamless integration of the elements into the natural habitat and is now a picture perfect location for you to walk up the aisle. Not only does the headland now feature a natural amphitheatre but also a picnic terrace and walkways perfect for leisurely walks while taking in the awe-inspiring views. After a breathtaking ceremony on the headland the wedding party can move inside to the Inchydoney Suite to continue the celebrations and enjoy one of the outstanding wedding menus, created by Executive Head Chef Adam Metcalf at the award-winning Gulfstream Restaurant.
With a range of wedding packages, tailored to meet the individual needs of each couple, there is something for everyone at Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa with all-inclusive packages starting at just €69 per guest.
