Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Trinity College Dublin?
The main College Green entrance is in Dublin 2. Agree the arrival entrance and access arrangements with the Trinity team responsible for your ceremony.
Who can apply for a chapel wedding?
The Chaplaincy lists qualifying staff, degree students and graduates among those who may apply, with a connection required for at least one partner. The chapel hosts Christian weddings. Check the current application requirements directly with the Chaplaincy.
Are civil ceremonies available at Trinity?
Trinity’s official wedding information lists the Public Theatre and Regent House for civil ceremonies. It describes the Public Theatre as available to students, staff and alumni, and Regent House as open to bookings from members of the public. These are different spaces from the chapel shown here.
How far ahead should we contact the chapel?
The Chaplaincy currently says that normally six months is required for a chapel marriage. Contact it early to confirm the application process, your eligibility and availability; this is not a booking guarantee.
Can we take photographs elsewhere on campus?
Confirm the permitted spaces, timings and any requirements with Trinity before the day. Booking a ceremony does not mean every interior or campus location is available for photographs.
Was Carole and Stephen’s reception at Trinity?
No. Their reception was at The Shelbourne. This guide uses their Trinity ceremony photographs and keeps the hotel preparations and reception separate.
