Q: How do we make sure the Honeymoon runs smoothly?
A: Some tips- Contact everywhere you have booked to ensure there are no issues. Put all your travel documents in a safe upon your arrival. Irish plugs are 220v so buy a few 3-pin adapter plugs. Tell people you are on your honeymoon and bring your marriage certificate. You never know what upgrade you might get.

Q: Should we tell people we are on our honeymoon?
A: Yes of course! Bring a copy of your marriage certificate as proof.
Q: When should we book our honeymoon?
A: The earlier the better, around 9-12 months in advance. Don’t wait too long after the wedding because some places only offer honeymoon services if you got married within 6 months.
Q: We want to spend a few nights in the city and a few in a secluded resort, how should we book it with the least hassle?
A: Simple, contact us and we’ll arrange everything.

A: Luckily there are no mosquitoes in Ireland. There are few disease riddled animals in comparison to exotic parts of the world. There aren’t any wild snakes with deadly venom… phew!
Q: Will I need a visa to enter Ireland?.
A: Yes, you need a valid passport and visa. Don’t pack it in your suitcase. You’ll need it upon arrival in Ireland. It is a good idea to photocopy it just incase of loss or theft.
