At Bellingham Castle, the welcome is warm, the facilities luxurious and the memories, eternal. Our weddings are all individual, and due to the exclusivity, the seclusion allows you to have the day of your dreams.

Set on the banks of the glistening River Glyde, Bellingham Castle is an opulent, exclusive-hire castle wedding venue, where you and your guests can enjoy a magical day in complete privacy. The castle is the centrepiece of a 17-acre estate that includes a weir and man-made river island. The spacious 17th Century Irish castle is bursting with rich history, splendour and old-world luxury.

Fully refurbished, yet retaining all of its character and charm, Bellingham Castle prides itself on elegance and sophistication, intimacy and cosiness, luxury and exclusivity – all just 50 minutes from both Dublin and Belfast.

We wanted to create something different at Bellingham; an exquisite combination of a welcoming atmosphere and luxury castle experience. From dreamy and palatial bedrooms, to magnificent reception rooms and manicured gardens, we ensure each guest enjoys high-quality, bespoke service in an idyllic and inspirational location.

Our elegant period drawing rooms are perfect for an arrival reception, while guests can enjoy tête-à-têtes in our library or catch up in our relaxing bars before dining in the grand ‘Bute Suite’. Outside, mature gardens and the stunning riverside setting with footbridges, provide the perfect backdrop for an intimate wedding and breath-taking photographs.

From delectable canapés, to a mouth-watering five-course wedding banquet, Bellingham Castle is renowned for culinary creativity and use of fresh, seasonal, local ingredients and our Blissful Bellingham wedding package offers an extensive array of dishes for you to choose from.

As an approved venue to host civil weddings, humanist ceremonies and civil partnerships, we can cater for intimate wedding ceremonies of all sizes, from 40-200 guests, in various locations inside the castle. Alternatively, if the weather is kind, host your ceremony outdoors overlooking the meticulously manicured gardens.

Bellingham Castle offers 28 luxury en-suite bedrooms, 19 within the Castle and a further 9 in our boathouse for family and guests to relax and stay in. Depending on which room guests stay in, they will have picturesque views of the River Glyde, our formal gardens, the fountain, or the nearby church steeples.

We offer a choice of suites on your wedding night – you can choose from the stunning Sir Henry’s Room or the Music Room, both boasting large king size beds and free-standing, roll-top bathtubs – each the perfect haven to unwind after your fairytale wedding day.

The award-winning Bellingham Castle is a family-owned and operated property. Patrick Corscadden and Ciara Carolan, along with their dedicated team, have made Bellingham Castle the leading wedding venue in the north-east of Ireland since 2013.

Our team understand how important every detail of your special day is and would be delighted to help you organise a memorable, bespoke wedding. Whether imposing yet intimate, uniquely-themed, or luxury and lavish are the order of the day - our personal, discreet and attentive service will ensure that all of your wedding dreams come true.

From start to finish all the staff at Bellingham Castle were fantastic to deal with. Everything was so well organised, the staff are so well trained, fantastic food, brilliant atmosphere in fabulous surroundings for pictures. We have had a huge amount of guests say it was the best wedding they have ever been to and have complimented the castle, their staff and raved about how amazing the food was. We had a number of guests with dietary requirements all of which were catered for superbly. I was particularly nervous about some of my family members who are very sensitive coeliacs and they were catered for so well with a separate section for them at the canap?s and again the following morning at breakfast.
We are so delighted we picked Bellingham as our venue and would just love to do it all again!
You will not regret selecting this venue for your Wedding reception, it really is something special!!

As cliche as it sounds we genuinely had the best day of our lives celebrating our wedding at Bellingham Castle. It really is an outstanding wedding venue and amazing value for money. The staff are amazing and they could not do enough for us. They are absolute experts at what they do and we are forever grateful for their hard work to make our day so special. From our first viewing to checking out the day after the wedding we cannot fault them. The decor, atmosphere and food was incredible. Of course the two Irish Wolfhounds are an added bonus, they were so friendly and a big hit with our guests. Our guests are still talking about the meal, the quality of the food was out of this world, how they can cater for such large numbers and keep the standard so high is seriously impressive. So many of our guests have said it was the best wedding they were at and we truly believe it was down to the amazing venue and the responsiveness and attention to detail of the staff. We honestly cannot say a bad word about this incredible venue. We would highly recommend Bellingham Castle to any couples who are getting married and searching for the perfect venue, you will not be disappointed.

We are still being inundated with compliments about our wedding, the venue, the food and the service. We were blessed with an absolutely glorious day and our guests were able to make the most of the stunning castle grounds. The food was exquisite and the service from every single member of staff was flawless. From our initial enquiry right through to the wedding day the staff could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble and everything was approached with the utmost professionalism. We had the most amazing day and so did our guests, we would like to extend our thanks to everyone at Bellingham Castle and would highly recommend it to family and friends.

Wow, I honestly don?t know where to begin. I feel like typing up a review just doesn?t give enough justice to how incredible Bellingham Castle is as well as the staff who work there are.

To provide context, my husband and I live in the UK so trying to plan a wedding in Ireland wasn?t the easiest. From the very beginning, Bellingham Castle was phenomenal and we had the BEST experience with them, by far, vs other venues we spoke with. They were the fastest to respond with available dates and they sent their availability in a calendar format, which was so much easier on the eye. We found that with other venues they would just send a list of dates via email and only narrowed this down to months you suggested. With Bellingham Castle, we actually went for a month that wasn?t what we originally had in mind, so we?re thrilled that we got a full year view on availability.

What?s more, as we were planning a wedding with no wedding planner, I had a lot (and i mean a lot) of questions and the staff were amazing at addressing these. Also as we didn?t live in Ireland, the staff were kind enough to allow for some of our wedding props to be delivered directly to the castle. This took one less stress off our shoulders also.

Now on to the wedding itself?.
1. Food - We did have a few nerves about not being able to taste the food before the wedding, but honestly we had nothing to worry about. The food at the venue was cooked to perfection and we didn?t have one single complaint from our guests. Everyone loved the food and highly praised the staff for being extremely attentive and well organised. We were particularly impressed that Bellingham Castle caterers to everyone (including those with specific dietary requirements, i.e. gluten, dairy, halal, etc).

2. Atmosphere - Out of all the weddings I've been to in Ireland, there?s something that was different at Bellingham Castle, the level of care and attention was something on a whole different level. We as well as our guests were completely blown away on the day. We received so many compliments on how incredible the staff were.

3. Organisation - Despite running a little over an hour late to my own ceremony, Bellingham Castle were amazing at trying to get the schedule back on track and the day ran so smoothly in the end. Even though I was getting flustered at times, the staff were great in helping me to calm my nerves.

Thank you so much Bellingham Castle, the day was just pure magic and we can?t thank you enough for the memories you have given us.

We had the most amazing day for our wedding in August. The staff, service and overall experience of Bellingham Castle was out of this world. Every one of our guests felt right at home and so well looked after. We had an incredible day that was managed seamlessly by the wonderful staff from beginning to end. A special thanks to a few: Eoin for taking care of us from when we arrived, making sure we had a bite to eat the moment we got out of the car and made sure we took a few moments to take it all in. Robert who was such a lovely calming presence for us throughout the day and Max who saved the day removing stains from the wedding dress like a pro. Every single staff member was so helpful, kind, polite and a credit to Bellingham making it such a homely venue for us all. We can't wait to come back for a visit !!

Bellingham Castle made all our fairytale wedding dreams come true, we couldn?t have dreamed up a better venue. A venue is only good as its staff and first and foremost the staff at Bellingham are absolutely impeccable. We planned our wedding from New York and everyone was so accommodating with the different time zone and conducting meetings on zoom. I have to say I never felt stressed in regards to the venue once on the run up to the big day. The day itself went perfectly with no kinks or issues. My husband and I, and all our guests, really notice the level of professional and care displayed by everyone and it really meant the world to us. The little touches like making sure our drinks were topped up and fixing my big long train when it got rumpled during the grand entrance, everything was taken care of. The food was absolutely exquisite and multiple people commented on how delicious it all was, especially the filet mignon and the nettle soup! The rooms were magical and the next day we were allowed to linger in the castle soaking up the atmosphere with cakes and tea before heading home. The only issue I have is I didn?t want it to end! It was a privilege to be married among such class and excellence. Thank you Bellingham!!

Bellingham Castle was without doubt a spectacular setting for our wedding day and indeed our wedding pictures. The stand-out feedback of our family and friends was consistently: the quality of service throughout and the quality of the food. The entire team at Bellingham, Ciara, Patrick and team were so professional from our first enquiry to the day itself. No question or request was too big or too small. The Castle itself has the wow factor, the attention to detail of staff simply made the day for us and our guests. The food is second to none and was the talk of the wedding. A few helpful tips for other couples: the Castle do table plan names that's very elegant, so there's no need to be paying for an external table plan to be brought in, we had our ceremony in the Woodside Chapel (an eight minute walk away in the village) which allowed the castle be the "wow" after our ceremony, we had 168 for our meal which we felt was a good fit for the size of the room for weddings. We really do not have one negative comment to make and you won't regret booking Bellingham!!

We got married here in June 2023 and are only coming back down to earth now after the best day of our lives.

It was the first and only venue we looked at when we got engaged as it ticked all of our boxes, including being wheelchair accessible for one of our guests.

They were so efficient and organised when it came to the planning of the big day and helped us in every way.

On the day itself, a couple of things went against us like bad weather and terrible traffic but all the frustrations were forgotten once the warm welcome was received, not just by us but all of our guests. Staff were at the door with umbrellas to escort guests inside and offer them an appetiser and drink from the off.

The food was impeccable and cooked to perfection. The presentation was 10/10 too. They catered for all dietary requirements also.

Iosaf oversaw everything on the day and dealt with any issues in an extremely professional manner. Every single manager, waiter, cleaner, receptionist and bar tender we dealt with was kind, friendly and went above and beyond in every way. A few of our guests said that they felt like celebrities as they were being treated so well by the staff.

Rain, hail or shine it really is the perfect venue as the grounds are so beautiful if you?re lucky enough to get the sun but for us, we had one of the many gorgeous drawing rooms to get our photos taken and the venue lends itself to being extremely cosy if it is a cold, rainy day.

We couldn?t recommend Bellingham Castle highly enough and only wish we could do it all over again.

A thousand thanks to everyone who made it a truly special and memorable day for us, our families and all of our guests.

From the moment you see that beautiful, imposing front gate and drive the tree lined path to that incredible edifice, Bellingham Castle has you enchanted. My lovely wife Catherine and I recently travelled halfway round the world to get married at Bellingham Castle and the experience was everything you could ever want, and more, when you think of a ?fairytale wedding?. First and foremost, the people who run the castle are some of the most amazing, professional, and beautiful souls you could ever run into. From the very first interaction over video call, they helped us work through every detail, letting us paint the picture we were looking for, and filling in the gaps as required. When we arrived on the day of the wedding, we were stunned by just how much every single member of the staff treated us, and our guests, as if we were the very most important people. They were the consummate professionals, always ready to adjust and accommodate, and ready to help at a moment?s notice, but without seeming like they were ever hovering or on top of us. Every interaction we had with staff from the front office, to the event manager, to the wait staff, bartenders and cleaners, was delightful and made us feel so incredibly special. The castle itself and the grounds are so amazingly kept that there were ?oh wow? moments at every turn and we had no shortage of beautiful locations for professional photos. The food was phenomenal and the amenities were top notch. The price is very much worth every penny in our opinion and not as much as you might think to be the ?kings and queens? of your very own castle for almost a full day. If you want to have a truly magical experience for your wedding, we couldn?t possibly recommend Bellingham Castle any higher.

We chose Bellingham Castle as our wedding venue in late 2021, when we were guests at our friends' wedding there. The attention to detail, quality of service, beauty of the grounds and the amazing food convinced us - but even then on our own special day in April they STILL managed to exceed our expectations! Honestly, I can't say enough about how amazing Ciara and the entire team there are. Every detail is given the upmost care and attention - every guest is treated like the bride - and the bride and groom treated like the royal family!! All of our guests raved about the service, the food - every nook and cranny in the beautiful castle that has an area for everyone, from the kids' play zone to the kitchenette. Hands down the best wedding venue in the country - thank you so much to everyone in Bellingham Castle for making our day so special.

***** WOW, WOW, WOW. Beyond incredible service! They deserve 5 stars! *****

I had been planning our wedding from the US for a few months. After looking at endless amounts of castles, I had a short email exchange with Bellingham Castle staff and knew I had FINALLY found the right place and boy was I right. The staff and property are everything you could want and more.

We were close to 50 people traveling all the way to Ireland so I wanted us to stay longer on the property. We stayed 4 nights in the castle with one of them being our wedding day and we had a few events on the other dates. It was the most magical experience and that combined with how perfect our wedding day, it was just more than I can put into words. Honestly I want to cry as I write this review because everything was just so beautiful and staff made it that much more enjoyable.

Even though I was in a timezone with 8 hours difference if I emailed or called they always responded right away. They made planning everything so easy and as the event happened they were very flexible to changes.

The food was sooooo good! The wedding day food was amazing but we had other meals and they were so great as well. Breakfast every morning was superb.

I cannot get over how friendly and helpful the staff are. Everyone loved Ciara and the rest of the team. You are welcome to visit your friends in Guadalajara and Las Vegas anytime!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Bellingham Castle Staff! You made our castle dreams everything we could have wished for and more.

If you are looking at booking please look no further. You can't go wrong here.

Could not recommend Bellingham Castle highly enough. They are absolute professionals from start to finish. The venue itself is so stunningly beautiful, as are the grounds - and having it all to yourselves for the day makes it extra special. Their close proximity to Dundalk also gives your guests lots of handy accommodation alternatives given there are not a huge number of rooms available (28 at the time of our wedding). The service is exceptional and management have ensured that the experience is consistent throughout all interactions. While you don?t have the opportunity to do a menu tasting, everything plated is of a very high quality - and the approach saves you a job, in what is a very busy time for couples!! Their organisation and expertise meant that we could really relax on the day - they took complete control and there wasn?t a single thing we could pull them up on. Our guests were beyond complimentary about their experience in Bellingham! So delighted with our choice of venue. The entire team were incredible!

Our wedding at Bellingham unfortunately did not go ahead. Bellingham were most understanding in this sensitive matter. They were very professional and kind. We didnt lose all of our deposit. It's good to know that such genuine suppliers exist that help their patrons when things dont go to plan.

I'm the Mother of the Bride. Because of COVID it took 3 tries at dates in order to be able to pull off the wedding and I can say the wait was absolutely worth it. The wedding couple and all the guests felt that EVERYTHING about the day, venue, service, food etc. exceeded all of their expectations. There isn't a thing we'd change. It was magical. Ciara was our ballast throughout the nearly 3 year process involved. She is the utmost in terms of responsiveness, professionalism and warmth.....although to be honest, those are all the same qualities we observed with each staff member. It is obvious that they all take great pride in doing an excellent job. We'd love to find another reason to go back again!

The service was out of this world. Weddings are their thing which they have perfected down to a tee while still feeling like you haven't got a mainstream wedding. Attention to detail was just incredible and the whole preparation and execution was done as if we were the only bride and groom they worked for!

I can't believe nearly 6 months has passed since what was literally the best day of our lives. People say that but you don't necessarily believe them, but Bellingham ensured that it was! They accounted for every tiny, little aspect and every tiny little detail - things you wouldn't even think of. Everything from the moment we arrived to the time we had to leave was exceptional and was beyond over wildest dreams and expectations. One of the waiters even saved a guest's life when she had a near-choking episode on her dinner when he slickly performed the Heimlich manoeuvre before returning to serving champagne on the top table! I cannot thank him and Belligham Castle Staff enough and I couldn't recommend them enough!

We could not praise Bellingham Castle enough for the service they provided for our wedding day. Ciara and her team were the epitome of professional. They went over and beyond at every turn. We found the Castle to be superb value, the quality of service, the food and the venue itself would be hard to match. Having an exclusive venue for the day really makes the wedding an intimate affair. All of our guests stayed on site, this was made possible with the addition of the boat house rooms. The grounds are perfection for wedding photos and the guests loved wandering from room to room. We highly recommend Bellingham Castle to any bride and grooms to be! You will not be disappointed!

I cannot recommend this venue enough. The castle and grounds are stunningly beautiful, there are photo opportunities everywhere you turn. The management namely Ciara and all the staff were superb, extremely helpful and obliging. It's now 7 months on and we still have guests commenting on how intimate and special the venue is and that the food was outstanding "the best food ever at a wedding". We also have to appauld the chef for accommodating my husband's Nigerian family by providing their local side dish of Jollof rice, they were particularly impressed with their taste of home. If you are thinking of booking this gorgeous castle for your big day, I can only say DO IT!!! You both will have the best day of your lives... just like we did.

From the very first meeting with Ciara we fell in love with everything about the castle. Always made feel very welcome in every visit.

Our day was everything we dreamed of and more. We have had numerous comments from guests complementing the food and the service and just generally in awe of Castle itself.

We could not recommend this venue highly enough as there is nothing that they couldn?t do for us.

Shoutout to Ciara and all the staff for such an amazing day.

Bellingham Castle went above and beyond for us from day one. We booked pre Covid and right along the journey they reassured us, we?re flexible and responsive at every turn. We had the most magical day with a garden ceremony in the venue and a beautiful reception. It was the most magical day. We couldn?t recommend it more highly for anyone considering it as their venue. We still have friends and family telling us it was the best day and the staff/ food/ service was beyond exceptional. We would one million percent recommend Bellingham Castle.

I can?t believe it?s taken me this long to write this review but we celebrated our wedding in Bellingham castle last year and the whole experience was absolutely five star. The staff were all incredible from the moment we booked, and all through the stresses of COVID including having to re arrange our dates. They were so responsive and helpful in the lead up and absolute professionals. On the day they could not have done more for us to ensure the day ran smoothly. Two particular examples stand out - the first is that our wedding cake supplier unfortunately never arrived and unbeknownst to us the staff in Bellingham arranged a stand-in artificial cake and decorated it with our flowers - none of our guests even noticed! The second incident was that I mentioned in my wedding speech that my parents were married forty years and the staff took it upon themselves to decorate my parents desserts with happy anniversary, which was a lovely touch. The food was incredible from start to finish. All of our guests commented on how attentive the staff were and I can see from our wedding video how readily they topped up everyone?s wine and drinks throughout the meal - something which was very important to us! The bedrooms were beautiful and breakfast in the castle was lovely. I have no hesitation in recommending Bellingham castle as a venue.

Bellingham Castle was the most magical wedding venue. In the lead up to the wedding, in such uncertain times, the team at Bellingham Castle could not have been more helpful and accommodating. They made our whole planning process such a breeze.
On the day of our wedding we were absolutely thrilled with how everything went and how amazing each member of staff were. We've had countless comments from our guests on the amazing food and how well they were looked after.
We had a wonderful day and would highly recommend Bellingham Castle to anyone.

Ciara, Jack and the staff of Bellingham Castle could not do enough for us to make our wedding day a dream come true. From the very start of the planning process they were so attentive and helped keep our spirits high as we planned and had our wedding during covid restrictions.
The food was second to none, even now 3 months on our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was, we were eating from the moment we arrived to the time we went to bed.
All the staff at the castle were 10 steps ahead of us on the day so we were never left missing anything or wanting anything that we didn't have. They have such attention to detail they do not miss a trick.
The castle itself it outstanding! It is the most beautiful wedding venue I have been to. Nowhere in the castle was off limits and knowing it was just our guests in the venue meant we could let the children guests run around and not worry about them.
We were treated like royalty on our wedding day and if I was to do our day all over again I would not change a single thing! I am recommending Bellingham Castle to all my friends who are getting married in the hopes that I can go back as a guest!

We do not have enough words to describe how positive our experience was with Bellingham for our wedding. We have not come across another supplier who has matched the professionalism, attention to detail, responsiveness and overall just amazing-ness of the team at Bellingham.
We planned our original wedding from Australia which with the time difference and not being able to see the venue could have been difficult, but the team made everything a breeze. Being forced to postpone because of COVID could have been stressful but again the team were always so organised, responsive and had a back-up plan for everything.
The day itself was incredible- the food is like something you would get in a Michelin Star restaurant and the service was faultless. From the moment we arrived our guests were treated like Kings and Queens while still being made to feel completely relaxed and at ease.
The setting of the castle and the grounds overlooking the river make it stunning for wedding photos. The rooms are tastefully decorated and spacious. The Irish wolfhounds are a bonus to the whole experience.
Although the whole team are amazing, a special mention has to go to Ciara who seemed to be there night and day throughout COVID to answer any concerns and on the day was just exceptional.
Our guests are still raving about the day and we have so many beautiful memories from Bellingham. If we were to do it all over again we wouldn?t hesitate to pick the same venue as it is absolutely perfect!

Nothing was too much trouble and they were so helpful and prompt with any questions we had. When we arrived on the day we were all treated like royalty.

Took me a while to write this because it is so difficult to find the words to do justice to the service provided at Bellingham Castle.
The beauty of the setting and surroundings are unmatched. The various drawing rooms, the fires, the cosy areas, the Buttery kitchen, the wine cellar. The bedrooms are gorgeous too.
We knew the food was good from a previous wedding we attended there, it's a standout feature, the variety of choices, and the quality and presentation of the food on the day was just perfect.
During the day and in the weeks after we were inundated with compliments and feedback from our guests. Many were amazed by the fillet steak on the menu, many were amazed by the beauty of the venue, but one thing that everyone commented on was the quality of service.
The attentiveness of the waiting staff was extraordinary. We felt it on the day and our guests felt it too. It made everyone feel special and made the day feel special too. It was a standout wedding.
A special mention to Ciara and Jack who went over and above to make our day as enjoyable as possible!
Ciara saved the day when my wife's dress got stained, Jack was with us from the start and really bought into our vision, he contributed and made suggestions and fully engaged with our various quirks! I don't think we would get that anywhere else.
Overall i still don't believe I can describe how much this venue made our day. We'd love to do it again. Thanks to everyone involved in Bellingham for making our day so memorable.

From our first meeting with Ciara we had nothing but professional correspondence during our short 12months to the big day with emails being responded pretty much immediately. I can never repay the staff for their love and kindness on our big day, we felt we were the only couple who?ve ever been married in Bellingham and our guests were equally blow away.

We had our wedding reception in Bellingham Castle on November 2nd 2019. It is the most beautiful Wedding venue in Ireland. It deserves far more than 5 stars! The service that we received was exceptional. From the minute we arrived at Bellingham Jack & Patrick were there to greet us & all of our 160+ guests, nothing was too much for them. All our guests commented on how attentive the staff at Bellingham castle were. Throughout the planning Jack was always just an email or phone call away, nothing was too much trouble and anything we needed they were there to help. The castle itself is beautiful, all our guests were blown away by the grounds and the little rooms like the pantry kitchen that serves cake throughout the night, the older guests loved this room as it allowed them to have a break from the wedding to have a cup of tea. The food was first class, every single guest has commented on the quality and quantity of the food. I am so thrilled we chose Bellingham as our venue. It was worth every penny & I would do it all again. Thank you so much to Jack & Patrick for making our day so special. It was like a fairy tale.

If we could give 100 Stars to Bellingham Castle and its staff we would in a heartbeat!!

From the minute we stepped inside for a viewing in December 2019 we fell in love with it. It was one of the first venues we went to see and we had pretty much decided it was to be our one before we went through the gates at the end of the driveway on the way home! The castle itself and the grounds are of course spectacular but the icing on the cake for us was your team and hospitality.

Every time we got in touch during our year of planning there was an email back within hours telling us exactly what we needed to know. We made a few trips up during the year with our parents and family and each time we came we were welcomed us with open arms.

On the day itself there were so many little details that the staff picked up on which meant so much. We made an error ourselves on our printed table plan forgetting a table?they picked this up and printed the extra table for us. Every time I sat down or stood up during dinner, there was someone there to help me with my dress and train. They treated us like royalty! But not only that they treated every single one of our guests like royalty too. We had so many people mention how amazing the service was and it meant so much to us that they treated everyone so well. Whenever anyone stood up from their seat there was someone close by keeping an eye with their napkin. Peoples glasses were constantly topped up. Our guests literally wanted for nothing on the day.

And the food?.where do we even begin! We were bit anxious that there was no food tasting but I had been assured by a friend who had been at two previous weddings with you that the food was spectacular. And my god was she right. It was out of this world! Pretty much every single person commented on how amazing it was. They went above and beyond for our guests with dietary requirements - our two friends who are Vegan said it was the best food they have ever eaten!

The following morning it was so lovely to be able to sit and relax with our family and digest the day. We know they had a wedding coming in after us but it was so great to be able to stay in the venue for a few more hours into the early afternoon.

We do not have one bad word to say about Bellingham Castle and it staff. It is literally the wedding venue of dreams. The amazing castle itself and gorgeous grounds. If you're even half considering having your wedding day there - just book it!!

We had our wedding in bellingham castle this July. We had the best experience organising our wedding in bellingham castle from beginning to end . We originally choose to have our wedding here as we had been at a friends wedding here two years earlier . We were completely blown away by the food and how stunning the venue was so that?s why we choose bellingham as our venue .

The whole day ran so smoothly the drinks reception was beautiful . The older guests sat in the drawing room and mingled with the French doors opening out t the back and gardens. Our younger guests mingled on the patio where live music played . Many guests commented that the canap?s were the best the have ever had .

We had 200 guests at the wedding and they fitted perfectly in the ball room . One of the main courses was a fillet steak . These are cooked to order to the liking of each guest which is unusual at a wedding . Our guests were delighted with the food and service .

The staff at the castle really are top notch . Nothing is too much for them and they are always at the ready to look after guests .

We cut our cake on the patio with sparklers while the band got ready . This was the idea of the venue and we thought it was brilliant as everyone brought their drinks out to the evening sunshine before heading in for dancing .

The bedroom decor and the decor of the hotel in general really is beautiful .

We could not recommend this venue more and the feedback from all our guests has been great .

The welcoming and friendly nature of every single staff member we met on site is something Bellingham should pride themselves on. A special thank you to Ciara, Jack, John and Tomas also. Their attention to detail and efficient service left me stress free about the venue from when we booked it all in. We had an outdoor ceremony on an unbelievable hot Irish summers day, I cannot explain how beautiful it looked. It felt like we were in a fairytale movie, and this was the exact comparison repeated back to me by our guests. There are so many places around the grounds to take some unique and romantic wedding photos. The venue was ideal for all our guests, spanning different ages and lots of different nationalities, all just as impressed with this astonishing venue. The food was spectacular and every single dietary request was taken care of. We organised our Wedding from Australia and had no issues with communicating with the venue for all requests. Thank you for hosting our very special day!

From the moment we stepped in to Bellingham to view it we fell in love with it. The wedding coordinators are exceptional especially Ciara and Patrick who took care of us on the day. The service is second to none, the staff cannot do enough for you. The food is exquisite and the venue is stunning. We couldn?t have asked for a more perfect day.

We got married in Bellingham Castle this year and we had the best day ever in this beautiful venue. The staff are incredible they look after every single guest from start to finish nothing was out of the question when it came to requests. The food was unbelievable my wedding guests are still raving about the venue, food and wonderful staff!

Bellingham Castle were a pleasure to deal with all the way through from booking the venue to our big day! They made us feel so at ease and were so helpful with any requests I had.

I would love to go back to Bellingham Castle as a wedding guest so I'll be encouraging anyone I know to look at Bellingham Castle for their wedding venue:)

Fergal and I got married in Bellingham Castle on 24th of May 2019 and we cannot recommend it highly enough as a very special wedding venue. We visited a few wedding venues in Co. Meath and Co. Louth and as soon as we drove up the driveway to Bellingham Castle we were filled with excitement. The grounds are breath taking and we knew it was the venue for us!

On our first visit we were met by Jack who showed us around and provided us with great hospitality as we discussed available dates. We were made feel incredibly welcome.
Our personal journey with Bellingham Castle and their staff started from that first visit. I?ll never forget their small touches and attention to detail that made them stand out. From the type of tea I drink to ensuring the piano was tuned just before our wedding for my musical family, they remembered everything! While the staff hadn?t met our bridal party until closer to our wedding date, they referred to our maid of honour and best man by their first names during each conversation we had while planning our special day. They made us feel like our wedding was they only one they had to organise. The staff always made time for us and no question was ever too big or small. These touches meant the world to us.

It is evident that Bellingham Castle employs people from the local area and they are loyal to their staff members. This makes a huge difference to the quality of service and professionalism that is provided on and before each wedding day and we were very impressed from start to finish.

Bellingham prides itself on the reputation of the quality of its food and it surpassed expectations. From the canap?s on arrival to the meal in the ballroom, breakfast the next morning and treats before we left the following day we were blown away by the quality, quantity and standard.

Everything was flawless on our wedding day and we were very lucky to have our drinks reception in the beautiful garden at the back of the castle. We would not have changed a single thing about our day. We had the most amazing time as did our guests.

From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank Patrick and Ciara, Jack and John who all shared in our wonderful personal journey with us at various stages of our planning process. We would also like to thank all of the other staff members who were present on our day and who showed such professionalism. Bellingham Castle will forever hold a very special place in our hearts. We cannot recommend it highly enough. We are really looking forward to returning!
All our love,
Sin?ad & Fergal

From the first day we booked Bellingham Castle as our wedding venue the guys where so professional and so nice to deal with. Nothing we asked for was an issue and even things we thought were not possible they made happen. I could recommend Patrick, Ciara, Jack, John and the rest of the staff enough. We are married 3 weeks now and everyone is still talking about the service and standards they set.

We had simply the most magical day.

I have 1st to mention our outstanding wedding co-ordinators Ciara and Jack. They were mind-readers! They knew exactly what we wanted before we even asked them! Ciara, Jack and all staff in Bellingham Castle on the day were simply fantastic. There are not enough words to express our gratitude to the staff of Bellingham Castle. They went above and beyond to make our day perfect.
The venue, Bellingham Castle itself, has the most magnificent grounds, offering the perfect backdrop/surroundings for our special day!

Everything about Bellingham Castle is exemplary. Their attention to every fine detail is second to none. During the planning process, my emails were all responded to within minutes. They are so efficient from Patrick & Ciara to John & Jack and all the staff. They made us feel so much at ease and despite them having no doubt many weddings, we really felt like ours was the event of the month! Of course the food is amazing. All the guests were raving about their meals (fillet steak wow, rare, medium or well done) and the wine was constantly topped up. The breakfasts were delicious, I was told the eggs Benedict was the best one guest had ever tasted. We wish we could do it all every again. If you are considering Bellingham, then there is nothing consider; book it, you will not be disappointed.

Bellingham Castle have everything down to a Tee!! From management on the floor staff they are so professional and give 100% in everything they provide. From the moment we went to look at Bellingham we knew this was the place for us. Nothing was a problem, they made everything so easy and stress free. Everything about Bellingham is amazing. We have been to 100's of weddings and Bellingham have just got that bit more. We can't forget to mention the food it was incredible, delicious and just amazing. We loved the friendly, warm atmosphere we got every time we went and on the day of the wedding the homely vibe as soon as we walked through the doors. Since our wedding guests have called our parents and our friends have said that it was one of the best weddings they were ever at - due to the service and professionalism of all the staff and of course the entertainment!! We had a children's table and they even had a staff member designated to look after it - the girl was brilliant cutting the food for the children and really looking after them. Their parents were able to enjoy their meal like every other guest. We would like to thank Ciara, Jack, John and all the team at Bellingham from making our day perfect in every way. All our family are so grateful for all you did for all of us.

If you?re looking for a top class venue, you?ve found it!

From start to finish, our experience with Bellingham Castle couldn?t have been more amazing. We had viewed several other venues before we heard about Bellingham through word of mouth, and when we went to view, we were blown away. After more research we chose Bellingham as it was the only venue without any negative reviews. Our priority was to make sure our guests had the best possible day, and that?s Bellingham?s priority too.

Ciara, John and the team are experts at what they do, and we were struck by how much they cared about making sure everything went perfectly, from fluffing up my dress before I walked down the aisle, to making sure every steak was cooked to order. They literally won?t let you lift a finger!

The venue itself has a great flow throughout the rooms, meaning guests have plenty of gorgeous rooms to explore, relax & party through!

This venue is perfect for couples who want to make sure their guests have a great time.

Thanks to Ciara, John & all at Bellingham for a dreamy perfect wedding! X

If you want your venue to speak for itself, Bellingham is for you. It is set in beautifully maintained grounds and an unforgettable venue - so there is no need for an extra decoration or fuss. The service from the moment you set into Bellingham, right through and after your special day, is top notch. They really treat you like you are the only wedding they are looking after as they give you so much attention. I remembered they called me in the lead up to the wedding, asking me if I had any questions, I did, I just was struggling to get the time to call them and every question I asked, they knew the answer of the top of their heads. They are really incredible.

The food is exquisite and they offer great choices. Another thing about the venue is the number of rooms that you can escape to - the kitchen/pantry is one of my favourite rooms. THey serve tea/ coffee and scones in here and it has a lovely homely feel about it.

On the day itself, it was like they could read your mind, better than your partner! They were so helpful.

I really can't rate them higher - I just hope that someday one of my friends will get married here so I can experience it all again!

Bellingham Castle from day one outdid themselves! From the very beginning the staff were outstanding and instilled in me confidence and belief through their professionalism. Hand on heart I can say that there is truly no other wedding venue like them.

Absolutely every one of the guests raved about the venue, the food, the staff, the service. The list was endless! Each and every one of the guests were treated like royalty.

Thank you so much to the wonderful team at Bellingham - Ciara, Jack, John et al. You made planning a wedding from Canada a breeze - thank you for answering all of my emails no matter what time of day or night it was! You are all exceptional and kudos to having top class staff. There was nothing we wanted or needed on the day. Honestly, if I or any of my bridal party even looked like we needed something you or your staff were right there beside us!

The attention to detail and the care on the day and the day after was out of this world! We actually can't thank you enough - from the bottom of our heart though, thank you.

Much love - Lynn and Niall Thornton

We are absolutely delighted we chose Bellingham Castle for our special day. Not only is the venue and grounds truely beautiful and elegant but it also has a warm feeling to it that really makes it feel like your home for the day. We loved that it was exclusively ours.

The staff were exceptional! Patrick looked after us for the day and he was so polished and relaxed! The professionalism was second to none. Every request (no matter how big or small) was accommodated with a smile! A bus with our guests broke down on the day and Patrick immediately sorted the problem offering to send staff to collect the guests and pushing back the dinner to make sure everyone enjoyed the drinks reception. We were able to relax and completely enjoy the day knowing every detail was taken care of.

The food was unbelievable! The amount of food was amazing and the quality was superb! Everyone was saying how full they were and how much they enjoyed the food! The buttery kitchen is an absolute gem! Our guests were able to take a breather from the dance floor with a cup of tea and Slice of cake! It kept them going all night long! It is a really unique feature!

Our guests were blown away with the venue! It was a hidden gem for them! We are so proud we had our venue at Bellingham! I really hope we get to return as guests soon!

It was our perfect day in the most perfect venue!

Where do we start. From the minute we stepped foot in Bellingham Castle on our first visit as a newly engaged couple 2 years ago to the day of our wedding we were in love with castle. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and we just knew that this was the place we wanted more than anything to host our wedding.
Nothing was too big or too small of an ask of the staff in the run up to the day, John, Ciara & Jack outside themselves. They were so attentive to both ourselves and our guests on the day. Honestly people always say it is the best day of their lives but this truely was and the staff and venue certainly helped that.
Our guests are still telling us it was the best wedding they had been too which again was helped by the staff. We would only love to do it all again in a heartbeat.
We can?t thank you enough for everything you did for us and we would highly recommend you to friends and family for future events.

From the moment we set foot in the castle after we got engaged nothing was too big a job and anything we asked for they did for us. On the day itself it was the most amazing experience of our life mostly down to the castle and the staff.. Ciara Patrick and esp Jack were all amazing !! Little things like sitting at the top table and looking for a hair clip and the waiter I think called mark pulled a hair clip out of his pocket!! where else would you see that!! Our guests have not stopped praising and talking about our wedding saying it was the best food and best wedding they were ever at.. if you pick here for your wedding you 100% will not be disappointed..

Bellingham Castle in our opinion is second to none as a wedding venue. Our entire wedding experience was so special thanks to the wonderful team at Bellingham. The grounds of the castle are immaculate with beautiful gardens and so many unique photo ops. The castle itself boasts beautiful decor, so elegant yet homely. From the moment we arrived for our wedding reception, we did not have to think of one detail. Ciara, Patrick and the team at Bellingham took care of everything! Keeping all our guests entertained and content. The food was the best food we ever had! We had quite a few guests with dietary requirements who were blown away that their needs were taken care of without having to request a particular dish. The waiting staff in the dining room were incredibly attentive to each and every table. Excellent bar staff, and particularly the night staff were so helpful and again knew exactly what was happening throughout our day. Every member of staff are incredible! We had the most memorable day in the most spectacular venue!! Loved everything about Bellingham Castle!

We had an absolutely amazing wedding at Bellingham castle. Ciara, Patrick and John will guide you along every step of the way and the other members of staff. Nothing was a problem to them. They respond to emails at lightening speed and have great suggestions. As a bride you want to have assurance that you picked the right venue. I had heard nothing but positivity about the venue before I booked and now for me I couldn?t fault it. I felt like Royalty on the day in all the surroundings and the unreal service. The place itself is stunning each room is tastefully decorated with antiques but in a fresh modern way not a cobweb or dusty relic in site. They had umbrellas on the ready for my awaiting guests. The canapes for the drinks reception were so appetising plenty of choice for everyone. 2 waiters even came down to us at the River with tons of canap?s while we were getting our photos. There's plenty of photo opps here with one particularly iconic one by the River with the castle in the background. For the meal itself, the staff are so well trained and the food was incredible-plenty for everyone. Feedback from the guests they thought the food and staff were unbelievable, they loved having the little kitchen in the castle to grab coffee/snack and just have a chat, they commented that the alcohol prices were very good and loved the two Irish wolfhounds that are gentle giants. The next day, breakfast was delicious again. They serve tea and coffee in the drawing rooms before you leave which is a nice touch. My advice is go and see this place you?ll be blown away!

We booked Bellingham Castle for our wedding after months of searching for that perfect venue. I can honestly say that it was the best decision we made as not only is the venue stunning and provided beautiful photo opportunities, (no matter what the weather on the day!) the wedding co-ordinator team (consisting of Patrick, Ciara, John and Jack) were unbelievably helpful, organised and efficient when it came to planning our day.
From the moment we stepped into Bellingham we were made to feel very welcome by all members of staff including their housekeeping manager Bernie and even by their beautiful hound R?! The place is stunning with plenty of beautifully decorated rooms for our guests to wander around and relax in and outside there is a beautiful garden and grounds for when the sun shines! The wedding team made sure that our (and our family and friends!) every need was catered for on the day.
Not only were I and my husband made to feel special on the day but so were all of our guests. They have not stopped talking about Bellingham since the wedding and from what they have told me they were not just looked after but spoiled! They couldn?t believe the quality and quantity of food that was offered; second even third helpings and offers to try the other options on the menu! Anyone with special dietary requirements were extremely well looked after and the wine flowed freely with one of our guests jokingly ?complaining? that he never had an empty glass with the amount of top ups he was offered!
The staff were extremely well trained and anticipated any of our guests needs. Later on Ciara even took the time to give some of my friends a tour of the castle; something they did not expect but were extremely grateful for! The night staff also made sure that all of our guests got back to their accommodation safe and sound and well fed!
Bellingham Castle made our wedding day extra special and stress free. They are experts when it comes to planning a wedding and have plenty of ideas and suggestions as well as the knowledge to make the day go as smoothly as possible for you. We would highly recommend them as a venue and if we could give them 10 stars for the ratings above we would. Thank you Patrick, Ciara, John, Jack, Bernie (and R? and Saoirse) for making our day so special and memorable. We really appreciate everything that you did for us! Grace and Hugh

We had such a wonderful wedding day at Bellingham Castle. Everything was exactly as we'd hoped - the decoration of the room, the organisation on the day, the professionalism of the staff. The food was absolutely delicious too, and the whole day went off without a hitch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bellingham for anyone planning their wedding.

Clara, Jack and Patrick were the team which helped organise the day and made sure it went without a hitch. Each and every staff member played their part on the day, and literally nothing was a problem. Their professionalism shone through during a slight medical issue. We could not have asked for a better venue. I think every guest has come back to me saying how great the venue, staff and food all were. Hooking up a laptop to ensure the guests seen Leinster play in the semi final of European rugby wasn't even a problem. Honestly couldn't recommend the place highly enough.

We had our wedding reception at Bellingham Castle in April 2018. It is hands down the best wedding venue in the country. We have been to over 20 weddings in the last 3 years in all the popular venues in meath, dublin, kildare and other counties. And Bellingham bets them all on every count.
The food was simply delicious with very generous portions of canap?s and dinner courses. Initially we worried about no tasting but when we asked around we were reassured by friends who had attended weddings there in the past that the food was great. And they were right!
The setting and building itself is beautiful. With plenty of indoor and outdoor space no matter the weather. Lots of places for wedding photos. Theres plenty of accomodation options nearby and the night porter was very attentive making sure all our guests made it home to where they needed to go.
Really what makes it all is the service. Any queries in the lead up to the wedding are answered promptly. And there is time allocated for meetings sooner to the date. On the day staff seemed to anticipate things whenever I needed them. I dont know how they did it! Every one was efficient, professional but also down to earth, friendly and welcoming. It created a wonderful atmosphere for the day. I can't praise them highly enough. Also nearly every guest I spoke to raved about the food and service, which is a marker how wonderful they are.bAnd I'd love to go back again a wedding guest!

I can not recommend Bellingham Castle enough. Whilst the venue its self is stunning it is Ciara and her team that make this venue so special and unique. They went over and above any of my expectations prior and on the day. Nothing was too much for them and they really made our day.

The food is absolutely delicious. Working in a catering company, I was worried however the chefs that attended our wedding couldn't stop raving at how fantastic the service was and the quality of the food in-particular due to guests being able to chose their food options on the day.

If you have any doubts, don't, just book Bellingham, you won't regret it for a second and you will have an amazing day.

There are no words to adequately express what an amazing venue this is, or how amazing the entire staff are. The attention to detail was incredible and the food was outstanding! Every guest commented that it was their most favourite venue they've even been in! A 5* choice
They are so experienced at what they do that we had very little to worry about and nothing was ever too much trouble. They organised the day to a tee and everything went just perfectly.

I honestly could not fault Bellingham Castle in anyway whatsoever. They were incredible. I was a pretty laid back bride and was a little unorganised. I had a newborn baby and was planning a wedding from Australia. They made the whole process so easy! Nothing was too much for them. Ciara and the whole team went over and above for us throughout the day! All of our guests were blown away by the venue and the impeccable service. Can?t thank them enough!

Any future brides & grooms are very lucky if they managed to secure this venue for their big day! It will NOT disappoint!

My husband and I got married in Bellingham Castle on December 22nd, 2016. Since we both live in San Francisco, we were at first a little worried about planning a wedding remotely, but thankfully we had literally nothing to worry about, all thanks to Ciara!

From our very first visit to the Castle, we knew this was the venue for us. To be honest, the surroundings, quirks and hidden treasures of Bellingham are truly phenomenal, but what really tipped it for us was Ciara. She is just so genuine, kind and a true professional. We were most impressed with her efficiency, attention to detail, fabulous advice & recommendations and honesty -- no question, request or change was too much for her and we always had great banter in person, on the phone or across email.

Everyone remarked on the beauty of the castle and the high caliber of each and every single friendly, welcoming employee. The service was first class, the food served at each part of our day was simply delicious, and in terms of presentation, it all really did look too good to eat!

All of our friends and family commented how it was the best venue they had ever been to - the castle, the food, the staff, the rooms, the nooks and crannies (especially the buttery kitchen!), the grounds, the fabulous Irish wolf hounds, the peacocks...all absolutely wonderful. I could go on and on!

Thank you to Ciara, Patrick and everyone at Bellingham Castle for the best experience & day of our lives!!!

Our Bellingham Castle experience entirely exceeded all expectations (and our expectations were high!) and was truly in excess of five stars.

The venue with its majestic grounds is stunning beyond compare: old world, with a modern touch and entirely at the wedding party's disposal for the day. The wonderful thing about booking Bellingham Castle is that you simply need to spend no time or money stressing about decoration as you would with a simpler venue or hotel, the venue needs no embellishments, it is a photographers paradise.

The food experience from the petits fours, dinner, evening snacks to breakfast the morning after the wedding was delicious and the whole dining experience ran like clockwork. We loved the fact that so much Irish produce featured on the menu (Irish beef, Irish fish and lamb choices). The hotels wine list is very good and I would follow the chefs recommendations regarding suggested wines with the dishes you choose as this worked very well for us and ultimately they choose their wines to suit their plates.

From day one when we booked the wedding to the day itself, the professionalism of management, the responsiveness via email (literally 24 hour turnaround!), the frankness, practical advice and friendliness was something we have not heard of nor encountered before. In short it is the best service we have ever experienced and we have travelled a lot. Our guests have not ceased to compliment or comment on the service and most of our guests would not easily give a compliment in this respect, unless really impressed. Ultimately for me, this is the most important aspect to your day. When dealing with pleasant and helpful people, the whole day feels natural and painless. I felt from the moment we walked up the aisle in the ballroom (ours was a civil wedding) that managers, Ciara & Patrick, were in charge together with their staff and as a result of that secure feeling, my husband and I sat back, relaxed in the fact that everything was under their control. The peace of mind which comes with that feeling on your wedding day is priceless. Little details concerning service which guests mentioned on the day were staff members noticing one or two of our guests were pregnant and offering alternative drinks, non alcoholic wine or a cushion for their back, looking after small children's needs and helping to fix up a girls dress in the bathrooms (female member of staff - no worries) and further examples which I no longer recall. Additionally from a practical perspective, on the morning of the wedding, the few little wedding details which we had for the civil ceremony the staff took from us and arranged everything in place for us, thus allowing us time to relax even more. The hotel also recommended an amazing florist to us, who works with the hotel regularly and again reduced our organisation still more.

In terms of accommodation, as we travelled home from abroad to get married, we stayed in the beautiful Bellingham Estate which is adjacent to the grounds of Bellingham Castle and run by a fantastically friendly family (castle accommodation only available on the night of your wedding). For me, this was just perfect. However there are a plethora of local options in Drogheda, Dundalk and in the surrounding area (cottages to rent etc). We hired a local bus from Sevens Coaches as we had a number of persons staying from abroad in Drogheda but if your guests manage to stay in Dundalk Bellingham Castle have a deal with a hotel there and they run a free complimentary shuttle to and from the venue.

I really could compliment Bellingham Castle all day and truly my compliments would still not do our experience justice. The truth is the only thing for it is to simply book your wedding there (or get yourself invited to a wedding there ?) and experience the magic for yourself.

The best money we have ever spent and in truth very fairly priced given the exceptional quality venue and service. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing and it would be the same venue.

We got married in Bellingham Castle on 29th September 2016 and had the most amazing day, there was nothing we could fault the venue on. From the first time we visited the venue we both fell in love with it and were made to feel so at home by Ciara, Patrick and their wonderful team of staff. It was great to be able to just wander around all the rooms in the Castle and really get a feel for the place without being put under pressure. We knew this was the perfect venue for our wedding. In the run up to the day Ciara was a great help and always very quick to respond to any emails we sent and was more than happy to let us add our own details to the venue to make it our own. However the venue is so beautiful as it is, you barely need to add any decorations! I stayed in Bellingham Castle the night before the wedding with my family and bridal party, the staff were so helpful and always on hand if you needed anything. They were always thinking one step ahead and anticipating what might make your life easier (for example brought a high chair up to the bedroom for my niece to have to have her lunch!) The bridal suite (there is a choice of 2) was absolutely perfect to get ready in on the morning of my wedding, so luxurious and spacious which made for a very relaxing and fun morning. We got married in a nearby church and returned to Bellingham Castle to join our guests for the best day of our lives! We had a drinks reception and canap?s in the reception rooms ? our guests loved this part of the day and found it very relaxing and were made to feel so welcome by Bellingham staff. The canap?s were delicious and very substantial ? my new husband was delighted when they were brought down to us when we were getting photos taken down at the river! There are endless, beautiful photo opportunities both inside and outside the castle, we were lucky with the weather and got some amazing shots outside. The function room in the castle is beautiful ? it has lots of natural light coming in which was very important to us in our choice of venue, and is a great size not too big, so even from the top table you can still see your guests at the back of the room (we had just over 100 guests). The food was of exceptional quality and just delicious! The menu options are great and good size portions, so many of guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. The chef was great at accommodating dietary requirements we had ? vegan and dairy free. The pantry kitchen was one of the highlights for many of our guests ? who were just delighted to find it and sit have a cuppa, cake and a chat. The morning after the wedding, we had an amazing breakfast and the staff were again so great and made us feel welcome to stay around and have tea/coffee after breakfast even though they were getting ready for another wedding that day. The service is totally seamless, the venue is amazing, is in a great location, handy to get to, the food is amazing ? without a doubt I would recommend it to anyone as a wedding venue. I just hope one of my friends/family gets married there so I can experience another wedding in Bellingham!

We had our wedding at Bellingham Castle in County Louth. We chose it because it is so romantic and unique. It really is what dreams are made of. We had also heard so many amazing reports about weddings at Bellingham Castle and it definitely lived up to our high expectations. Their attention to detail and their willingness to accommodate our every wish made our wedding day experience at Bellingham unforgettable. Ciara and Patrick are amazing at what they do! Our guests are still commenting on the whole experience and how special they were made to feel on our wedding day

We had the most amazing wedding at Bellingham Castle. I?m from the area but the majority of our guests were not and were blown away with the setting. Amazing how you can have something as grand as a castle but with the intimacy by having it completely to ourselves. The food was a particular highlight, I have many intolerances and could not believe how well catered for I was (being diary/egg intolerant and I had a chocolate fondant - the most amazing chocolate fondant!) Our friends and family continue to rave about the wedding. The fillet steak is still talked about! We were also so well taken care of, we didn?t need to worry about where we needed to be and when. I can?t praise the staff more, they were all so accommodating and professional. Really made our wedding day so so special. Best decision we made was to have our wedding at Bellingham Castle!

From our first visit to Bellingham Castle, we knew it was our dream location to celebrate our wedding. The grounds are stunning and everything within the castle is of the highest standards and quality.
Ciara and Patrick were extremely helpful especially with some of our unusual ideas (and patient with some of our last minute requests) and made sure that the day played out without a hitch.
All of the rooms in the castle are absolutely beautiful - pictures can not do justice to how stunning the whole place is.
We couldn't believe the quality of the food and the selection that was offered (we could offer the choice of 3 mains!). My husband is still raving about the steak.
And of course, we cannot leave a review without mentioning Ferdia, their wolfhound. What a fantastic, sweet dog! Might sound mad but he really adds to the atmosphere and we would have loved to have taken him home with us, if only there was a suitcase big enough!

Thank you so much for making our day so very special. We cannot thank you enough for all of the work you put in and helping us create what can only be described as the most perfect wedding day.

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for making our day so special. Right from the start Ciara and Patrick made us very welcome. We were planning our wedding from New York and Ciara was with me every step of the way, she even helped us find a bagpiper at the last minute. My guests are all still taking about Bellingham Castle, the venue is spectacular and the food was amazing. I have never heard so many people provide wonderful compliments on the food choices and quality. Breakfast the next day was also wonderful. If you want quailty, professionalism, elegance and top class service, then Bellingham Castle is the place. The staff and management are fantastic to work with. Thank you so much, we will never forget our wonderful wedding day. Our American visitors loved everything.

We are so glad we chose this venue, everything was exceptional from the food to setting and the staff, it was fabulous and they really wowed our guests.
The menu offering was superb and they were very helpful and flexible when choosing options. We received excellent feedback from our guests on the quality of food and service.
We planned our wedding from Canada and Ciara was so accommodating and efficient. She is excellent to deal with and very professional, she will go above and beyond to ensure your Wedding is perfect.
We would not hesitate to recommend Bellingham Castle to anyone looking for their dream, fairytale venue. We are still getting so many compliments from our guests.
