IMPORTANT NOTE
ABOUT ACCOMMODATIONS
We’re so excited to celebrate this unforgettable weekend with each of you at the incredible Ashford Castle.
To ensure a seamless and immersive experience, all guests are required to stay at the castle on Friday, April 17th, 2026 and Saturday, April 18th, 2026.
The rate is €1,055 per room, per night.
Ashford Castle will be ours exclusively from midday on Friday until midday on Sunday. The nightly rate will include food & beverage for daily meals and organized events.
We hope you will understand that due to the intimacy of the Castle, we are unable to accommodate any children. Similarly, we’re only able to invite those named on your invitation, and unfortunately cannot accommodate additional guests or plus ones unless specifically stated, due to limited capacity.
We’re truly grateful for the effort you’re making to join us, and we can’t wait to share this extraordinary place, and these special days, with you.
A secure, non-refundable payment link will be sent out in advance of September 17, 2025.
THE STORY BEHIND OUR WEDDING CREST
We want to share a little bit about the custom crest we had created for our wedding, since it is filled with symbols that represent meaningful parts of our lives and the journey that brought us here.
The California poppies and bear reflect where we both grew up.
The open book, taken from the Berkeley logo, represents our time at UC Berkeley, where we met and created so many memories. It also honors Garrett’s family legacy at Berkeley, which spans four generations!
To celebrate Molly’s Irish heritage, we included the traditional harp, clovers, and a Claddagh ring—a symbol of love and loyalty that also connects to Ashford Castle, where we’ll be celebrating together. You’ll also notice an Irish wolfhound, inspired by the beloved hounds at Ashford Castle. You may even get to meet them during your stay!
The daffodils were included in honor of both of our grandmothers, who each have a special connection to the flower.
One of the most meaningful elements is a pair of angel wings, included in memory of Molly’s brother, Charlie. His spirit is with us always.
At the heart of the crest is Ashford Castle itself, a place that now holds deep meaning for us and will soon be filled with memories shared with all of you who are joining us there to celebrate.
