Castle Dargan Estate

We had our wedding reception in Castle Dargan at the start of Sep 2023. Myself , my now husband and our son had a lovely day. In the build up to the wedding day the hotel accomadated a wedding tasting at the weekend to suit our work schedules which we appreciated. Our wedding contract and plan was clearly laid out and the hotel were flexible with our food requests and dietary requests for our guests.
On the day of the wedding our reception looked beautiful, the food came out hot and promptly with good portion sizes and taste. We went with beef and salmon for our mains and really enjoyed. We got a lot of compliments on the food from our guests. The function room overlooking the golf course really is pretty. Throughout the planning stage we had regular contact from Caroline, Jessica and our wedding coordinator Taylor. The waiting staff were polite and friendly which we appreciated especially with a big wedding . Our room was really pretty we stayed the night after so we could chill out. The staff were helpful in heating up a bottle of milk for my toddler its the small little things which we appreciated. The staff helped my family set up the cake , took recpetion signs, family picture the day before and displayed them beautifully at the reception there was no stress in the lead up which means a lot. The hotel held our flowers and gifts in a safe and chilled room until we were ready to leave again allowing us to relax and enjoy. We didnt have the weather to fully make use of the lovely grounds for pics but again Irish weather out of anyones control. A big thank you for making our day special.

My husband and I wanted to say a big thank you to Michelle and all the team at Castle Dargan Hotel for helping make our Wedding the most amazing day for us. We want to do it all over again!

From start to finish the day was perfect, Michelle literally thought of everything and it made us feel completely at ease. All of our guests, especially those who have travelled and never been to Sligo before were impressed by the venue, scenery, friendliness of the staff and the food on the day of the wedding which was amazing!

Michelle you really know your stuff, and you were on hand whenever needed so thank you for that because we had nothing to be worried about really. Special thanks to Caroline for looking after us in the morning and getting my little girl flat 7up and pastry as she was poorly, those little touches are always remembered!


The guests were blown aware by the dinner service and the hospitality, the staff was so friendly and also funny at times, just what is needed at a Wedding!

My husband and I are looking forward to returning next year for our 1st anniversary :)

I just want to say a massive thank you to Rya and all the team at Castle Dargan for making our wedding day the best day ever. Everything was perfect from start to finish you went above and beyond for us there was nothing what was to much trouble. It was more then we ever even imagined it to be. The room set up was amazing we arr so thankfully for ye letting us bring our own few touches to and ye had that all set up for us without any hassle, the food was out of this world it really was lovely and the staff service was great there is nothing we could fault at all. You made booking with Castle Dargan so easy for us always on hand to help if we needed anything, you where there the day of our wedding along with the other lovely staff to make sure our day went perfect. We nominated ye for our vote for hotel of the year for connaught we really think ye deserve it. Thank you again for everything ye done we are truly grateful.

We had initially booked this hotel for our wedding. We cancelled due to lack of accommodation, which we had not been made aware of when we booked and lack of response from our wedding coordinator. We ended up loosing €1500 just because we secured our date. We weren’t offered any of a refund or a gift voucher to use at the hotel. Highly disappointed. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

From booking to the day of the wedding the team at Castle Dargan were so helpful and accommodating with all our requests. Caroline was always on hand to answer our questions and many of our guests thought she was a friend of ours as she was so feiendly and welcoming on our arrival to the hotel. On the day, the food and service was excellent and many of our guests commented on the delicious food and the professionalism of Zoltan and the staff. They anticipated our every need on the day from storing our bouquets to looking after gifts we had been given. We cannot fault our experience in Castle Dargan and would highly recommend them to anyone thinking about booking their wedding there.

Castle Dargan was the perfect venue for our summer wedding. The grounds were beautiful for photos and the kids loved the onsite playground. Caroline, the wedding coordinator was amazing to deal with. She was on top of everything and made sure everything went like clockwork on the day. We were really impressed with the food and the service. All our guests were impressed with the venue with its relaxed atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend.

We had our wedding in April 2022 in Castle Dargan. We can't thank all the staff in Castle Dargan enough for all they did for us, we had the most magical day. Caroline, Zoltan and Jessica were absolutely fabulous to deal with from start to finish! No request was too big or too small, Caroline's attention to detail is 12 out of 10! With all the emails and calls back and forth with ideas and edits and revisions she managed to make it all come to life on the day and didnt miss a thing! The food was absolutely beautiful, it was so difficult to choose at our menu tasting as everything was so delicious and Matt made the experience so enjoyable for us and offered great advice about our options! The tayto sandwiches went down an absolute treat at 2am too! They even organised gluten free bread and gluten free crisps for our coeliac guests!
The function room looked stunning as did the coach house for our drinks reception, and every single staff member couldn't have been more helpful on the day.
Jessica was brilliant to work with to sort out all accomodation, she kept us informed every step of the way and was able to facilitate all of our requests such as grouping certain guests in rooms close to eachother or giving some guests ground floor rooms etc.
Our day was extremely wet but Castle Dargan House made such a gorgeous backdrop for our indoor photos, the porch and stairs were stunning - it's great to have an option for lovely indoor photos when mother nature kicks in!
Thank you so much to Caroline and all the staff in Castle Dargan, we had our dream wedding day!

Having celebrated our wedding recently we have to say that staff could not have done enough for us. Caroline Brennan in particular was a real pleasure to have as our co-ordinator. We dealt with Caroline in the months leading up to our wedding day. She was always so lovely to deal with. She did absolutely everything in her power to ensure that we had a brilliant day. She is a truly wonderful, down to earth person who just wants the best for others and this clearly shines through in her work. On top of all this her proffesionilsm is top notch! We really cannot speak highly of her. Caroline herself could not be there on the day (totally understanding of this) and we were a little sad when we heard but this is genuinly testament to the hard work that she had put in. Caroline ensured that absolutly everything was in order for us on our day before handing us over to the well capable Michelle. Again, another wonderful person, very friendly and down to earth. Michelle was waiting for us on arrival with a wonderful smile and a very meaningful welcome on our big day.
We cannot speak highly of all staff in Castle Dargan. Everyone was so accommodating throughout our weekend. Staff even thought of little details that we probably wouldn't have thought about ourselves. We sat during our meal and watched as guests chatted and smiled throughout, they were clearly having a brilliant day. On chatting with guests after all had died down they were full of compliments for the food and the venue itself. It truly is a wonderful place made even more special by those who work there. Thank you so much to everyone who played a part in contributing to our day. We really did have the best time x

We booked Castle Dargan for our wedding on the 30th December 2021. We loved the setting and were excited to be able to have so many of our friends and family come together and stay there before and after the wedding. Caroline was our wedding coordinator and she was simply amazing. Nothing was too much bother, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We cannot thank her enough. Zoltan and his team who managed the meal were outstanding, the food was delicious and all was timed perfectly. We cannot thank the whole team at Castle Dargan enough, they were professional, friendly and welcoming. We received so many compliments about the venue and the setting. Thank you for making our day so special.

Caroline and all the team in Castle Dargan were fantastic to deal with. They are so professional in everything that they do and made the planning and build up to our wedding so easy and stress free. The venue itself looked amazing on the day which made for some great photos.
The food was fantastic and the service by all of the staff was even better.
I cannot recommend this venue highly enough

We fell in love with Castle Dargan the minute we set eyes on it. The venue is beautiful, clean and welcoming. There was no other venue on our minds after seeing what they had to offer. The reception room is absolutely incredible! Our wedding took place in October last year after postponing twice. All of the staff we dealt with throughout all of these changes were incredibly sympathetic, helpful and professional despite it being a challenging time for them as well. Any concerns we had in relation to restrictions were listened to and addressed and we felt reassured that every effort would be made to help us have a great day. The day itself was fantastic, we could not have asked for more from all of the staff. The guests were raving about the food and wine and the venue itself. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend a wedding in Castle Dargan to any couple.

We had the most amazing day at our wedding on the 2nd of october 2021. From start to finish everything went perfect. The staff were all amazing and nothing was too much trouble. It made the day extra special. Thank you so much to Caroline, michelle and all the staff. Highly recommend.????

We had the most amazing wedding experience at castle dargan. Yasmina the wedding coordinator although only started mere weeks before ensured we had the best day and bent over backwards to make sure we were happy. We honestly can't thank her enough. My family is still talking about all she did to help them on the day we were so lucky to have her help us . Caroline on accommodation was brilliant. Despite all my Constant emails about rooms she was ways so professional and nothing was too much of a job for her. Zoltan and matt and all the bar and restaurant staff we can't thank them enough. They put in so much work the night of the wedding and always with a smile on there faces

Myself and Jonathan had our wedding reception at Castle Dargan Hotel on the 15th of July. From Tanya the wedding coordinator to the management team of Jibin and his team, we were treated like royalty. We were blown away by the hospitality we received from when my family arrived on Wednesday until we left on Friday. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel for a wedding. The food and the service we received were excellent. All of our guests were delighted with all the food that we received. Thank you so much Castle Dargan for making our wedding day so special.
Thanks,
Grainne & Jonathan Davey

On the 21st December 2019, we got married in Castle Dargan Hotel. From the moment we viewed the hotel and met their wedding coordinator Tanya, we knew it was the wedding venue for us.
The professionalism, friendless of all staff was outstanding. Our wedding day went so smoothly thanks to Tanya and their amazing staff.
Our wedding guests are still talking about the fabulous food and location of the hotel. If you are looking for an exceptional wedding venue, with welcoming, helpful staff and gorgeous food, this hotel is for you.
Thank you to all the staff of Castle Dargan, for making our wedding so memorable and organization of our big day stress free.

The whole day went fabulous! A day I will never forget! Tanya was great and very helpful and Mary was great at helping me sort the rooms. It’s a fabulous location for any event especially weddings. Food was excellent. And there is great opportunities for photos.

Tanya the wedding coordinator and the staff in Castle Dargan exceeded all my expectations and made our wedding a dream to have in the beautiful Castle Dargan Resort.It is such a beautiful venue and grounds.The service was brilliant and can't fault anything!Would 100% recommend this venue to any couple looking for a dream wedding venue!We had our civil ceremony in the couch house and was so beautiful!There are so many locations on the grounds for photographs so we didn't need to leave at all which was fantastic!Thanks so much to Tayna and all the staff...Katie & Cathal Walsh x

Castle Dargan was just perfect for our reception. The team were brilliant and could not do enough to make our day special! Thank you!!

Castle Dargan provided an absolute unforgettable day. Everything from the service, decorations, food was just outstanding. I could not fault the hotel at all. Tanya the wedding co-ordinator was just amazing from the very first dealings.
She had such a warm welcome personality. Thanks again for everything.

We found Castle Dargan great to deal with, in the run up to the wedding we really felt like everything was under control and would run smoothly on the day- which it did! The venue itself is just stunning and I also have to mention the food - it was so delicious,and the portions were huge- so many guests complimented it.Our wedding was a little different to most but nothing was too much trouble for Tanya & Mary, and we both genuinely had the best day! We would absolutely recommend Castle Dargan to other couples who want their big day to be really special.

I can not speak highly enough about Tanya and her professionalism and help to ensure our wedding went to plan. She thought of so many things to ensure the day all went to plan. We had all our guests travelling from Galway and England so they all needed to stay in the hotel before and after the wedding. Mary on front of house assisted with accommodation for all my guests and managed to ensure we all got sorted as it was alot of organising.
The food and wine were amazing and everybody commented on how fabulous it all was. Dont think twice about having your wedding here they were amazing!! We cant wait to go back to stay and many of our guests are coming back too.

We had our wedding reception in Castledargan on 4th August 2018 and honestly could not say one bad thing about it. We had viewed over ten venues before it and had not encountered the professionalism and flexibility that Castledargan certainly offered.

Our wedding coordinator, Tanya was excellent and made everything we wanted, happen. Nothing was a problem.


The ballroom was amazing with gorgeous views of the golf course and the food was incredible. We had the Atlantic timbale of seafood, goats cheese tartlet, Rack of lamb,duo of salmon and seabass and the medley of desserts as options and everything was cooked perfectly. Could not fault it.

We are so happy that we chose to celebrate our wedding day at Castle Dargan. The venue itself is stunning with so many beautiful photo opportunities. The Ormsby Suite is one of my favourite parts of the venue with beautiful views of the grounds.
All staff members we dealt with were more than helpful on the run up to the wedding and on the day itself, especially our Wedding Coordinator Tanya and Managers Mary and Colm.
The food and service on the day was 2nd to none and we couldn't have asked for more from the hotel.
We also continued our wedding celebrations with a second day in Castle Dargan with family and friends with a beautiful BBQ.
If you're looking for a hotel that's a little different from the rest then you've found it. I can't wait to go back to visit this special place.

We got married Sunday 6th May 2018 in the fabulous Castledargan Hotel. Huge thanks to Tanya the wedding co-ordinator who is beyond professional, nothing was a problem from start to finish, she made us feel like king and Queen of the Castle. The setting is magical for a wedding and our guests so enjoyed the day and the place. Our thanks to Mario who looked after us throughout the meal and beyond and again his professionalism and attention to detail was amazing. Thank you all at Castledargan for a wonderful Wedding Day. Vanessa and Richard Ellis

Hotel staff food everything was top class. Grounds unreal for pictures wouldn't or couldn't pick a better place thanks for a Savage day. Staff really worked hard and kept everyone happy

Fantastic wedding, highly recommended

It's almost a two staged review for Castle Dargan. From my ratings, they absolutely delivered on some things, but others could probably use some work. Everyone we dealt with was really friendly, and we never had any issues or disagreements with people. There were some communication issues, in that some emails went unanswered, and a few hotel room bookings went missing. There was also some staff changeover, which lead to some of our earlier conversations not being handed on to the subsequent staff. Our tasting session perhaps wasn't the greatest, something I put down to catching them on a bad day. But they were minor issues from our point of view. What we really wanted for them to nail was the day itself, which they did.

The day itself was pretty much perfect. The food was wonderful, the service excellent, and whole room was setup spectacularly. We really couldn't have asked for more. Any issues that we did have during the tasting session were fixed, and they accommodated pretty much all our requests. All our guests commented on how good the food was, and how lovely they found the venue.

I would certainly recommend Castle Dargan as a venue.

From the moment we pulled into Castle Dargan Resort in Sligo we knew it was the perfect place to have our Wedding. The setting is just amazing and the views are spectacular and thankfully we were blessed with a beautiful day to experience all it had to offer. Our wedding planner Kim Monaghan was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble and she took on board all our ideas and implemented them all to perfection. Everyone at the wedding complemented the excellent food and staff and we couldn't fault it one bit. The staff were very attentive and very professional and never pushy or rushed. The food was excellent and got so many compliments on the quality of the food. We tweaked our menu choices and this was never a problem with the hotel. The hotel offers a great all inclusive package and you really don't need to add to it whatsoever. I cannot wait to go back again and stay in Castle Dargan and it will always hold great memories for us.

I dont know where to start. You were all so amazing with everything. I have never seen such presion and attention to detail. The whole place was so well organised and we just felt so spoilt.
The serving staff were soon point that i was thinking that you do some army style drill sessions, no hanging around and nothing missing. In addition allthe guests couldn't get over the quality of the meals and they kept saying it was probably the best wedding meal they have ever had. The stakes were amazing and i dont know how the chef managed to cook them just perfect. For sure thete was no shortage of food as well.
Aidan loved his birthday surprise and the names on the plates was a brilliant touch.
We were so happy that both of us nearly cried except that would have messed up my make up so no go.
Thank you again and cant wait to come back for an anniversary dinner and spa night.
All the best from the new Mr and Mrs Duggan i.e. Aidan and Kati.

We had our wedding here on the 18/09/2015. We had been to a weeding here a few years ago and feel in love the grounds and layout of hotel. After meeting with Kim we booked our weeding (at a great rate) we never looked back! Nothing we asked for was a problem for any member of staff. All our family and friends were blown away with how good the food was how helpful the staff were and comfortable the rooms were. I cannot thank everyone at Castle Dargan Resort enough for making it so easy for us to enjoy our wedding day knowing we and our guests were well looked after. So if you are getting married and want a beautiful location with amazing service and food look no further!!! Thanks again to Kim and all the staff.

We held our wedding ceremony and reception in Castle Dargan on Friday 7 August 2015. Castle Dargan was the first (and only!) wedding venue we looked at. From the moment we met with Kim we were sure that Castle Dargan was the wedding venue for us. The relaxed and welcoming atmosphere was what we loved the most.

Kim and the rest of the team at Castle Dargan were eager to help with every aspect of our day. As we are from Tyrone in the North and travelling quite a distance, we decided to make a weekend out of the celebrations and we stayed in the hotel for 3 days – Thursday to Sunday. Many of our guests did the same. The reservation staff, Chrissie and Amanda sorted all the room bookings for us and the entire process was flawless. The girls were so easy and professional to deal with.

The day itself was perfect from start to finish. The ‘Ladies’ stayed in one of the self-catering apartments overlooking the car-park whilst the ‘Gents’ were in a Lodge at the bottom of the avenue. The hairdressers from Salon 2 came out to the apartments on the morning of the wedding as did the girls from Icon Spa in the hotel to do our make-up. This meant that the bridal party didn’t have to leave the hotel that morning at all. The breakfasts for the Bridal party were delivered to the apartment and the staff were on hand to bring flowers and décor over to the hotel itself. The best thing about staying in the hotel the night before the wedding was that both the Bride and Groom could see all the guests arriving that morning. Not many Brides get to see this part of the day!

The Ceremony was in the Coach House Lounge and it was decorated so beautifully and elegantly with black and gold chair covers. The champagne reception after was in the Courtyard and the atmosphere was fantastic. The wedding party took the golf buggies out onto the golf course for photos and they have turned out so well. We couldn’t be happier.
The wedding meal is without a doubt the best we have ever had (bias I know, but very true). The service was second to none and every course was served fresh and steaming hot. Christina, Imelda and the team done such a good job. Our guests are still talking about how good the roast beef and lamb was.

Our entire weekend was fabulous – we partied the whole time. The very lovely Christina babysat the kids on the night of the wedding and again the night after. The kids loved her and she put the parent’s minds at ease. Such a brilliant service by a brilliant girl!

I would highly recommend Castle Dargan to anyone as a wedding venue. You won’t be disappointed. The staff are Castle Dargan’s best asset and should be commended for their approach and efforts.

Thank you to everyone at Castle Dargan and well done to you all!!
We will see you all very soon. From Róisín and Raymond x

Wow... We had our wedding at this amazing venue may 2015.. It was superb on every level.

I would recommend this hotel to absoulety everyone!

We originally met kim, the wedding coordinator 14 months before our wedding date, and she was an instant Ray of sunshine, she is professional, hepful, made us feel completely at ease... Especially as we live in England ...nothing was too much trouble, and any question at all kim was straight back to us on email within the hour!.. Just incredible, we felt like the service was so personalised and we were made to feel so special. Something we never felt in any other hotel as we were looking around. Kim is most definitely a credit to the hotel!

We carried on, had our menu tasting night there which was so beautiful, we will never forget it, the quality and amount of food was absolutely amazing... Something which carried onto the day.... The value for money...and quality was impeccible!! Our guests were stunned with the quality, everything was so tasty and plenty of food,.,, the staff even went round with seconds for our main course meats.!!

Matthew looked after us so well throughout the meal, the attention to detail and quality of service was second to none... Lots of special touches that added to the day, we noted Matthew had his eye on the room, guests, timing everything was impeccible! ... The waiting staff are all unbelievably friendly....happy to help... We ran over a little late with the day... But nothing was a problem to this team!!

The day was perfect, staff and venue, holds a special place now for me and my now husband... Cannot sing highly enough of this place!

Kim and all the staff at Castle Dargan – Thank you so much for al you did for us, you made everything so easy and stress free. We had an unbelievable day and if we were to do it all again it would be in Castle Dargan 100 times out of 100. – Julianne and Derick

I can't speak highly enough of Castle Dargan as a wedding venue. Beautiful venue, delicious food and all the staff are very friendly and went out of their way to make our day so perfect!

We can't thank you enough for all your help in making our wedding day so special. You made organising our day from another country an easy and stress free experience and you completely understood everything we had in mind which made us completely at ease. The entire team at Castle Dargan were so professional throughout and were a pleasure to deal with - all of our guests were so impressed with the service they received. We could not be happier with how everything went and we have you to thank for that. It was amazing. Best Wished - We'll be back! Samantha and Andrew Barraclough

We had our wedding reception in Castle Dargan in April. We couldnt recommend it enough! Kim was always available to answer any questions and help with our planning. Everyone who came to the wedding commented on how well the day went and that the staff were so nice and accomodating. The food was amazing as was the service. We had a wonderful day and it all went so smoothly thanks to the staff at Castle Dargan.

Dear Kim, Matthew and all the staff at Castle Dargan,
From the bottom of our hearts thank you all so very much for helping us to organise our wedding & ensuring we and our guests had an amazing day,
Thanks again,
Fiona and Dara

Our Wedding day on the 31st August 2012 was such a special, intimate day., The venue is set in the beautiful surroundings of the Sligo countryside with the dramatic backdrop of a perfectly manicured championship golf course. Ann + I met playing golf and we had been looking at various locations, Castle Dargan could provide the perfect setting and we could also get married in the most romantic Coach House room with its high ceiling and perfect lighting. Such a relaxing , beautiful resort.
