Where to stay for your Killarney Elopement?

Killarney is a really popular tourist destination and has so many great options for your accommodation. There are great hotels and B&Bs in the area. I always recommend that my couples go for an air bnb that is nice & bright. This will help you get the best preparation photos.

Which airport should you fly into for your Killarney National Park Elopement?

Most couples fly into Shannon International or Dublin Airport. Shannon would be slightly closer but it doesn’t serve as many US airports as Dublin. 99% of couples eloping in Killarney plan to do a road trip around Ireland during their stay so they aren’t too worried about the airport being further away.

Must visit places that are near to Killarney

Some places that you need to see when you elope to Ireland are the Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Peninsula, Skellig Michael, The Cliffs of Moher & Galway. These places are all amazing and it will take you at least a week to see them all properly. If you have more time you could travel all the way up the Wild Atlantic Way to County Donegal & Northern Ireland. The Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland is one of the most beautiful places in the world & if you’re a Game of Thrones fan it was used heavily in the filming.

Killarney National Park Elopements

Wow what a place for an adventure elopement! Here are some images from a real elopement in the Killarney National Park. Hunter & Melissa flew in from Texas to elope in Ireland. The ceremony took place in the ancient ruins of Muckross Abbey, the portraits happened at the awesome Ladies View point & Ross Castle then they headed to the pub to dance the night away with the locals. It really was a perfect Irish elopement day!

Places you could have your ceremony & portraits when you elope in Killarney

Muckross Abbey

This ancient monastery is right in the middle of the National Park. First built in the 6th century, if you’re looking to have amazing photos in a place drenched in history, this place is for you. Parking is just a 5 minute walk from the abbey.

Ladies View

Ladies View is without a doubt one of the best views in Co Kerry. It takes about 25 minutes to get there from Killarney town centre. It would make for an incredible spot to have a sunrise ceremony. A popular spot which gets quite busy during the day with tourists. Access is very easy, it literally by the side of the road.

Ross Castle

This beautiful 15th Century Irish Castle sits on the edge of Lough Leane in Killarney National Park. A great spot for sunset photos and is super easy to get to. The castle is less than a minute walk from the car park. The view of the mountains over the lake is so pretty.

Where to head for the night to celebrate your elopement?

Killarney town centre is buzzing with activity and there is a great selection of restaurants & Irish pubs for you to choose from. Most couples who elope to Ireland love to finish off their elopement day by heading to a pub to listen to live Irish music, have pints of Guinness and then dance the night away with the locals. Shots of local Irish whisky often are involved too.
