Where to Stay
The Co. Tyrone area and surroundings offer excellent Airbnb options — from traditional Irish cottages to spacious country homes, perfect for groups of friends or family. A great way to enjoy more privacy and flexibility over the weekend. We suggest searching around Dungannon, Moy, Armagh and Portadown.
We recommend booking early — summer in Northern Ireland is high season.
Dress Code
The wedding takes place in June in Northern Ireland — the weather can surprise! We recommend bringing an elegant layer for outdoor moments. Old Rectory's beautiful gardens will be part of the celebration.
