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.
Gifts
Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for. For those who would like to give a gift, we've included our details below.
We are in the process of buying our first home together — a huge and meaningful step for us as a couple. If you'd like to contribute towards our new home instead of a traditional gift, we would be truly touched and grateful. Every contribution, big or small, is received with so much love. 🏡
If you'd prefer to celebrate in another way, we are equally grateful and touched. 💚

We kindly ask for an unplugged ceremony — please keep phones and cameras away during the vows. We want everyone fully present in that moment. Our photographer will capture everything, and photos will be shared with all guests shortly after the wedding!
