They offer three all-inclusive wedding packages which offer excellent value for money while never compromising on the quality of products and services on offer. They also have dedicated staff who are ready to tailor a wedding package to your exact needs and desires.

A wedding at the Ardboyne Hotel will include the following:

• A professional consultation with the management team regarding your particular needs

• Freshly brewed tea and coffee for wedding guests upon arrival
• Use of the Ardboyne’s impressive landscaped gardens for photography

The three packages on offer cater to different budgets. Each package comes with an impressive set menu, but they are more than willing to adjust these to your specifications. You can also choose a personalised menu from their extensive range of a la carte wedding menu options.

The Ardboyne offers a 10% discount on midweek weddings. Since they have become such a sought-after destination for weddings, they also provide fun services like post-wedding barbeques – Irish weather allowing, of course.

Besides their specialised wedding services, the Ardboyne is also a great choice of wedding venue because of the great variety of attractions and amenities in the vicinity of the hotel. This area is rich in sights and activities for every kind of interest, so your family and guests will have a wide range of options to choose from to keep them occupied before and after the big event.

When it comes to family-friendly fun, other activities include horseback riding and races and ample fishing – trout and salmon, in particular. There are also several top-notch golf courses close to the Ardboyne.

For those who love history and archaeology, you’ll be spoilt for choice here. Meath is often referred to as the Royal County since it was the home of the old Irish Kings. Trim Castle is the most prominent of Ireland’s Anglo-Norman castles and dates back to the medieval period. Meath is also home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the ruins at Bru na Bionne which predate Stonehenge by 1000 years.

All things considered, the Ardboyne Hotel offers everything you could want in a wedding venue, and their specialised wedding services will ensure that the process of organising your big event will run smoothly.

One of the most traditional Swedish holidays is the Midsummer Eve, this year at Friday June 21. If you happens to be in Sweden, you will notice that most places are closed this day and all Swedes are celebrating it together with family and friends, mostly outdoors at the countryside.

We will also escape Stockholm city, this year we will take a roadtrip up to Hälsingland around 250 km from our dear capital city of Sweden. For once the weather forecasts look very promising too. Usually at Midsummer Eve it’s unsteady weather, both sun & rain, making it difficult to sit outdoors eating in peace without getting wet…

If you are in Stockholm and not invited to a Swedish Midsummer Festive event by Swedish friends, it’s still possible to celebrate it either in different parks like Vasaparken and Tantolunden in the city or outside the city by going out in the Stockholm archipelago. You will find Midsummer celebrations in Fjäderholmarna at 1pm, Vaxholm at 2pm, Sandhamn at 3pm and Grinda at 2pm.

Another late option is to go to Skansen.se, the outdoor museum where a lot of traditional celebrations is held. Take the short ferry trip from Slussen to Djurgården. A safe choice, since there will be the traditional midsummer pole and dancing around it as always. Only the dancing could be a tourist attraction in itself, since we look rather silly during some of the dances…

There are some restaurants open too accoarding to the tourist office:

- Oaxen Krog & Slip, Beckholmsv.26
- Sturehof, Stureplan 2
- Villa Godthem, Rosendalsv.9
- Wärdshuset Ulla Winbladh, Rosendalsv.8
- Berns, Berzelii park
- Hermans Vegetariska restaurang, Fjällgatan 23B
- Fåfängan, Klockstapelsbacken 3

Happy Midsummer folks, please sing a snaps song (traditional Swedish singing to go with the alcohol) extra loud – for us!
