This is applicable for those living locally in Northern Ireland.

For locals, there are a few options:

• Hop in your car and drive to Ballymena for early afternoon! (the ceremony timings are not concrete yet, but likely will be around 12 noon) Note, free parking is available at the venue.
• Alternatively, grab a taxi if you want to have a few glasses of wine on the day.
• We’ve booked a coach to take people from central Belfast directly to Tullyglass Hotel, leaving at 11am sharp. Please let us know in the RSVP if you want a seat onboard.

The Domestic & EU Citizen Travel Plan

If you are a UK, Irish or EU citizen, or if you have a UK visa / ILR, you do not need anything other than your passport to enter Northern Ireland. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/visiting-the-uk-as-an-eu-eea-or-swiss-citizen

• You can typically book direct flights to either Belfast International Airport (BFS) or George Best Belfast City Airport (BHD) from most British cities or European capitals.
• Both airports have bus services to central Belfast, and car rental companies available from the airport.
• To travel to Tullyglass Hotel, it is possible to use multiple busses, but instead we recommend that you book a Taxi, which is much faster and less hassle.
• If you are staying in Belfast, we’ve booked a coach to take people from central Belfast directly to Tullyglass Hotel, leaving at 11am sharp. Please let us know in the RSVP if you want a seat onboard.

If you are not a UK, Irish or EU citizen, and do not have a UK visa / ILR, you will probably need to obtain a UK Visa to enter Northern Ireland.

If you have a visa for the Republic of Ireland, it likely does not cover the ability to enter Northern Ireland. The Common Travel Area rights are only applicable to Irish and UK citizens, so travel to Northern Ireland you will likely need a UK visa.

• Once you have arrived in the UK and are through border control, then proceed with following the above suggestions for Domestic travellers.
