We try to keep our fingers on the pulse of all things wedding related here at WeddingDates.ie HQ, and we did tell you about Ireland’s newest wedding venue, Johnstown Castle in Wexford a couple of weeks ago. Well, now Johnstown Castle are hosting their first ever wedding fair to invite couples to take the tour and experience the grounds at this unique and magnificent property.
Tickets are €10 for a pair, but we have managed to get some comps for our readers!! The first 50 people to email info@weddingplanner.ie mentioning WeddingDates.ie will get a free pair of tickets, just make sure to state which day you want to go to the fair on. It is on the 18th and 19th of September by the way!

Couples attending this two-day event will be able to view the castle’s stunning rooms, now available for wedding ceremonies, as well as meeting wedding suppliers and enjoying special deals and giveaways, live music by Gavin McCaffrey and Stephen Tallon, enter competitions and be entertained by Close up magician of the stars Liam Sheehan.
