Why a smaller wedding suits Waterford
Waterford's Copper Coast and river valleys make a scenic, intimate wedding easy in the sunny southeast. A smaller group can enjoy a coastal or castle-town setting such as Lismore or Dungarvan, with the sea and the Comeraghs close by and Dublin only a couple of hours away.
Set against the Copper Coast, the Comeragh Mountains, river valleys and Ireland's oldest city, Waterford is on the M9 from Dublin, with rail into Waterford city and Rosslare port nearby. 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.
