Story

There’s something truly special about couples who never forget where they came from - and for Sean, that meant returning to his Irish roots for the most meaningful day of his life.

Though Sean and Hannah built their love story in New York, where they met and now live, a piece of Sean’s heart remained in Ireland. Wanting to honor that connection, the couple made a beautiful decision to fly across the Atlantic and celebrate their wedding in the land of Sean’s ancestry.

Legally married in New York, Hannah and Sean still longed for a wedding that reflected their heritage and love for tradition. So, they planned a symbolic ceremony in an Irish castle, one that captured the authenticity and charm they envisioned.

Thankfully, they didn’t need to navigate the transatlantic planning alone. With the help of their dedicated wedding planner in Ireland, they were guided through venue options and trusted local vendors who helped bring their vision to life.

By autumn 2024, the couple had arrived in Ireland with around 50 guests for an unforgettable celebration in a fairytale castle nestled in the heart of Co. Wexford. From the morning preparations to the reception festivities, the day was filled with joy, heritage, and the unmistakable warmth of a love that spans both time and continents.
