Location
Catherine and Ron have chosen County Clare in the Shannon region, for their Irish wedding. The home of Shannon Airport, it is a natural meeting point for their families and friends from the Old World and the New.
They will be married in the Church
of St.John the Baptist, Cratloe, at 12 noon on Friday, 19th July. The
reception will follow immediately afterwards at Dromoland
Castle.

Bunratty Village, just five miles from the Airport and eight miles north of Limerick, is the most popular tourist destination in the Shannon region. It lies just off the N18, the main Ennis to Limerick road, between Dromoland Castle, Newmarket-on-Fergus, to the north and St John's Church, Cratloe, to the south. Because of its proximity to the Church and the Castle, Bunratty has been chosen as the ideal centre for the weekend activities; a place to meet, mingle and maximise the fun! We have focused on accommodation close to the village and have nominated Durty Nellys as the 'official' meeting point! |
