Hosting a big wedding in Clare
Clare's hotels, especially around Ennis and the coast, are well set up for large weddings of a hundred and eighty and beyond, with ballrooms and plenty of bedrooms. Shannon Airport on the doorstep makes it one of the easier western counties to gather a big, travelling crowd.
Set against the Cliffs of Moher, the limestone Burren and the wild Atlantic edge, Clare is served by Shannon Airport and the M18, roughly forty minutes from Limerick and Galway. For a large guest list, that access matters as much as the setting, and the right venue makes gathering everyone effortless.
