The wow factor: Proposal via a flying hawk
At Dromoland Castle, a grand hotel set on Ireland's spectacular and unspoiled West Coast, couples can go crazy with posh outdoorsy activities like horseback riding, skeet shooting, and falconry. In fact, grooms-to-be can request a hawk to swoop in and deliver the ring while he gets down on one knee. (Trust us, the bird will not eat your diamond—they are strict carnivores.)
Proposal package, including a two-night stay, lake cruise, falconry, breakfast, and spa treatments, from $2,551, Dromoland Castle
