What could be more memorable
or more romantic than a wedding at a castle? A castle wedding
has been the choice of many celebrities - Paul McCartney at Castle
Leslie in Ireland and Madonna at Skibo Castle in Scotland are
only two recent examples.
Bonaventure Tours can now provide
complete destination wedding services in Scotland and Ireland.
Bonaventure Tours will assist you through the legalities, clergy
contacts, venue selection, and myriad of details from flowers
to music to pipers, and Celtic wedding traditions.
We have Irish and Scots wedding
co-ordinators in place who will communicate directly with you
through the planning process to fulfil your dream wedding. Your
complete arrangements will also include travel arrangements for
yourselves and your guests through the wedding period as well
as your honeymoon and any touring your guests might want to do
before or after the wedding.
After arriving at your chosen
destination our co-ordinator will assist with the completion
of your legal documents, review your arrangements and provide
whatever services have been agreed upon. On the wedding day she
will be present to insure that all goes as planned.
There are no fixed wedding packages
as you might find on a cruise ship or at a tropical resort. Every
destination wedding by Bonaventure Tours is completely tailored
to your requirements and your budget. Our co-ordinators will
listen, suggest and provide options and opinions - allowing you
to make informed decisions. Our co-ordinators maintain their
independence by charging a fee for their services rather than
earning commissions from wedding suppliers.
From tiny 12th century St Margaret's
Chapel at Edinburgh Castle to the exclusive use of a complete
castle visited by Mary Queen of Scots, Scotland has options galore.
Ancient abbeys, historic sites and stately homes are further
possibilities.
It is more complicated to be
legally married in Ireland. Many couples opt to cut through the
red tape and residency requirements with a legal ceremony at
home and a religious blessing ceremony in Ireland. Your options
in Ireland may be limited by the requirements of your religious
denomination.
There are an unlimited array
of romantic castles, abbeys and historic sites throughout Ireland.
Castle Leslie and St Salvator's church is pure delight in spring
when the bluebells carpet the walk from the castle through the
gardens and the gate to the churchyard. Knappogue Castle with
its private apartment offers a unique setting for a small family
group. Humewood Castle - Irish home of the Duke of Devonshire
provides the ultimate in luxury while Glin Castle - home to the
Knight of Glin has a more intimate ambience.
In both countries civil ceremonies
must be performed in premises licensed for this purpose.
From an intimate wedding for
two to a gathering for the entire clan, our specialized knowledge
of Ireland and Scotland and our local partners will bring your
dreams to life.
