Mayo

castle

Ashford Castle

The one on every Irish wedding moodboard. An 800-year-old castle on Lough Corrib where the day comes with falconry, boat arrivals and staff who appear before you know you need them. If the budget stretches, nowhere in the west touches it.

Clare

castle

Dromoland Castle

The ancestral castle of the O'Briens on 450 acres, with falconry, a walled garden and five-star everything. If you've pictured getting married at an Irish castle, this is probably the picture.

Galway

castle

Ballynahinch Castle

A castle on 700 acres of Connemara wilderness, with the Twelve Bens behind it and a salmon river below the windows. Weddings here feel like a house party in the best house in the west.

Meath

castle

Killeen Castle

A Norman castle on a 600-acre estate at Dunsany, with weddings for up to 160, lodge accommodation and a Jack Nicklaus course that hosted the Solheim Cup. The castle looming over the photographs is the whole argument.

Wicklow

hotel

Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection

Five stars inside the thousand-acre Powerscourt Estate, with the Sugar Loaf out the windows and one of the world's great formal gardens next door. If the plan is to overwhelm the relatives from abroad, this is the address that does it.

Dublin

hotel

The Merrion Hotel

Four Georgian townhouses opposite government buildings, with a garden between them and one of the country's best art collections on the walls. Quiet luxury, in the literal sense: it never shouts.
