We have had the pleasure of hosting Carol, Dave and their beautiful son Harry for their chilled out wedding. We first connected with Carol & Dave when they were living in Australia – they were looking to have an intimate wedding day when they moved back home to Ireland.
Carol & Dave’s day was exactly as they are as a couple – beautiful, relaxed, and fun. Carol looked amazing as she walked down the aisle, only to be very surprised by Dave dropping to one knee and proposing to his bride to be in the nick of time before the wedding! Lucky for Dave, Carol said yes!
The humanist ceremony was simple and elegant, after the I do’s were said, Carol and Dave signed on the dotted line to make it all official. Guests were greeted by glorious sunshine as they headed to Kingston’s to enjoy a few relaxed drinks before the wedding meal.
The chilled-out atmosphere of the day continued into the evening with music by Phil n’ The Blanks and DJ to follow.
Carol and Dave were a delight to work with. From all of us at Sol y Sombra (now 10 Bridge Street) we wish you a lifetime of happiness together.

Review from Carol & Dave via weddingsonline.ie
“We had our wedding ceremony and party in Sol y Sombra in July of this year. It was without a doubt the best choice for us and exceeded our expectations. When we began the planning process with Cliodhna, we were overseas, as we were in the middle of a move back to Kerry. Cliodhna was so accommodating to us and we knew we were in good hands. Cliodhna’s professional and friendly nature helped us feel at ease and she gave excellent, honest advice and direction. Cliodhna went above and beyond and even provided suggestions on other wedding services, such a band, celebrants, cake etc, as all this was very unknown to us, having just moved home. The packages on offer, are of excellent quality and caters for everything. Sol Y Sombra are very flexible with these packages as we did tweak and customize ours a little and caters to every budget. The venue is just perfect for a romantic and intimate ceremony and both my partner, I and our guests were in awe of how the venue was set up for the ceremony and afters. We had a total of 85 guests and they were all raving about the food quality and portion sizes. The staff were so friendly and professional, that it just added to the relaxed and stress free environment we wanted to create on the day. I really could not recommend Sol Y Sombra enough, I was so happy that I chose this as our venue and I did not have a single worry or concern during the whole process. Cliodhna was a pleasure to deal with and always contactable for a chat or advice, really going above and beyond for her brides and grooms.”
