Stag & Hen Parties

Casual Pub Attire
In Europe, rather than a weekend long bachelor or bachelorette party, it's common for couples to have 'stag & hen' parties, which are a one night celebration of the upcoming wedding. For anyone in town Saturday night that wants to participate, all the guys will go one way and all the girls will go the other, and we'll have a night of fun!

Casual Pub Attire
The bride & groom will be at the pub in Dublin for a few hours Sunday evening, and we'd love to see anyone that wants to stop by! We'll have a designated room upstairs, and you can grab food and drinks here. This will be a very casual meet-up, but it'll be a great way to all spend time together before we head to the venue on Monday.
