country house

Ashley Park House

A 250-year-old house on Lough Ourna outside Nenagh with 76 acres of beech woods, a ceremony room for 180 and a pavilion that stretches to 280. Fifty bedrooms on the estate mean the party doesn't scatter at midnight.

Mayo

Wicklow

country house

Ballybeg House

A private estate in south Wicklow that hands you the keys for three or four days: chandeliered marquee for 160, beds for 54 across the house and woodland pods, and your own Shebeen bar. A festival wedding with proper plumbing.

Butler House seen from its walled garden

Kilkenny

Carrygerry Country House

A 1793 house above the Shannon estuary, under ten minutes from the airport, with eleven bedrooms, open fires and exclusive hire. The pick for small weddings where half the guests land at Shannon that morning.

A Georgian house on the Shannon at Castleconnell, with riverside grounds for the photographs and a village church a short walk away. Quietly romantic without trying too hard.

Galway

hotel · country house

Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate

A five-star estate on Lough Corrib ten minutes from the city, with a private abbey for ceremonies and dinner available in a restored Orient Express carriage. The abbey is the detail that sells it: your own church, on the grounds.

Cork

country house

Hayfield Manor

Cork city's five-star secret, hidden behind walls near UCC. Feels like a private country house that happens to be ten minutes from the station, and the service has a reputation it keeps earning.

Tipperary

Kilshane House

An 1822 house on 320 private acres near Bansha, hired exclusively, with a curved Victorian glass conservatory for the ceremony and an orangerie that seats 220. The conservatory alone has talked plenty of couples out of every other venue on their list.

Lyrath House, the original house at Lyrath Estate

Kilkenny

country house

Lyrath Estate

A 17th-century house grown into a five-star estate on 170 acres just outside the city. Big enough for the largest Irish wedding you can imagine, with lakes and parkland to lose the photographer in for an hour.

Kilkenny

country house

Mount Juliet Estate

A Georgian manor from 1757 on 500 acres in Thomastown, with a championship golf course thrown in. The Lady Helen dining room holds the ceremony crowd; the estate holds everyone's attention for the whole weekend.

Meath

country house

country house

The Johnstown Estate

A listed Georgian house on 120 acres at Enfield that scales from 4 guests to 400, with an orangery, a walled-garden terrace and a spa the bridal party will find by instinct. Handy to the M4 for guests coming from both coasts.

Mayo

castle · country house

The Lodge at Ashford Castle

Ashford's smaller sibling next door, on the same lake with the same views, minus the castle price tag. Suits couples who want the estate without the formality, and the boathouse ceremony room is quietly the best in Mayo.
