Why a smaller wedding suits Mayo
Mayo's scenery makes an intimate wedding feel enormous in the best way. A small group can reach Achill's beaches or a setting on Clew Bay and have the landscape almost to themselves. Knock Airport keeps even a compact, far-flung guest list within easy reach of the wild west.
Set against vast Atlantic beaches, Croagh Patrick, islands and wide open bog and mountain, Mayo is served by Ireland West Airport Knock, with rail to Westport and Ballina. With a shorter guest list you can hold the day somewhere with real character, keep the atmosphere warm and personal, and spend your time with people rather than logistics.
