Ballykealey House – Award Winning Wedding Venue Rooted in History, Built for the Present
Tucked just outside the charming village of Ballon, Co. Carlow and only one hour south of Dublin, Ballykealey House blends historic character with the space, freedom, and privacy today’s couples deserve.
Built in 1827 as a wedding gift, Ballykealey is a venue with purpose. From its original Tudor architecture to its sweeping lawns and versatile event spaces. It’s a house made for celebration.
Choose from four unique ceremony locations, including the original Oak Room, our Garden Suite, the lawn, fountain area, or our newly opened barn.
Whether you're planning an intimate wedding of 40 or a celebration for 275, Ballykealey adapts. The ballroom comfortably seats large gatherings, while our heritage spaces cater to smaller numbers with warmth and atmosphere.
Our onsite accommodation for 110 Guests, Ballykealey House offers 12 bedrooms in the manor, 2 garden suites, and 15 self-catering lodges all on the estate. We also partner with local accommodation providers to ensure every guest is covered.
Full exclusivity is built in. We’ll help you build a wedding day that feels personal, private, and true to your style, whether you're here for one day or an extended stay.
