Mountain View is most loved for its chic and rustic vibes but did you know that you can create your very own vibe totally unique to you! In May 2023 we were blown away by Kilkenny natives Megan & Trevor’s take on bring Las Vegas to the hills of Mountain View.

The original plan for their wedding was to get married in Las Vegas but this was halted due to you-know-what in 2020 so they decided to bring the Little White Chapel to The Cow shed. American and European Roulette, Casino Stud poker and Blackjack, show girls and the one and only Elvis Presley. Where else could you create such a magic showpiece event other than The Cow shed at Mountain View. A totally unique wedding idea for 2023. Arrive in style in a 1960’s American Cadillac Convertible.
