Situated on a 180-acre estate, Kilkea Castle will turn your wedding into a regal paradise. With an intimate Banquet Dining Room, an ornate Drawing Room that overlooks lush gardens and golf courses. Built in 1180, the magical castle can be hired out, with several venues that can accommodate for different guest sizes and choices of Irish wedding band.
Moyvalley Hotel & Balyna House

A hidden gem on the outskirts of Dublin – from ceremonies, receptions and even to day-after celebratory BBQs or garden parties; this venue has it all. The restored Manor and Gardens features lovingly maintained Victorian Walled Gardens – providing the perfect feel for a summer wedding. Additionally, the reception venue has enough room for all your guests and a live band for parties – so you can keep the celebrations going late into the night.
