Wedding venues in Wicklow

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.

BrookLodge & Macreddin Village

A hotel at the centre of its own purpose-built village in a wooded valley, with a chapel for the ceremony and Ireland's first certified organic restaurant for the dinner. Nowhere else in Wicklow feels remotely like it.

Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort

A five-star resort on 360 acres between the mountains and the Irish Sea, with two championship courses to occupy the golfers while you get photographed. Weddings also run at Woodstock House on the grounds for a more private feel.

hotel

Glenview Hotel & Leisure Club

Above the Glen of the Downs on 30 acres of woodland and gardens, 25 minutes from Dublin. The view over the wooded glen from the function room is the reason couples book it.

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.

country house

Rathsallagh House

Exclusive-use only: the whole Queen Anne house, walled gardens and 500-odd acres are yours for the day. Nearly forty years of weddings and a habit of collecting romantic-venue awards. West Wicklow, near Punchestown.

Tinakilly Country House

A Victorian house built in the 1870s for the sea captain who laid the transatlantic cable, on 14 acres looking out over the Irish Sea. Family-run warmth with real history in the walls, 45 minutes from Dublin.

hotel

Tulfarris Hotel & Golf Resort

An 18th-century manor on the shore of the Blessington Lakes with the mountains behind, 45 minutes from town. The manor house suites keep the wedding party together, and the lakeside light does half the photographer's job.

Woodenbridge Hotel & Lodge

Dates from 1608 and calls itself Ireland's oldest hotel, at the meeting of two rivers in the Vale of Avoca. Small, storied and riverside, for couples who'd rather have character than chandeliers.
