Choosing a castle wedding venue

Castle venues range from intimate historic houses to grand estates and full castle hotels, so start with your guest numbers and whether you want exclusive use of the whole property. Many castles sit in their own grounds, which makes for spectacular photographs but can mean guests travel further, so plan accommodation and transport.

Ask what is included, how many bedrooms are on site, whether ceremonies can be held in the grounds, and what the exclusive-use options are.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a castle wedding cost in Ireland?
Castle venues span a wide range, from around €80 per guest upwards depending on the castle, season and whether you take exclusive use. Request a tailored quote from any venue.
Can I have exclusive use of a castle for my wedding?
Many castle venues offer exclusive use, giving you and your guests the whole property for the day. Confirm what exclusive use includes and any minimum numbers when you enquire.
Do castle wedding venues have accommodation?
Most castle hotels and many estates have bedrooms on site, often with a block reserved for your guests. Check room numbers and nearby options, as castles can be rural.
Can we get married outdoors at a castle?
Some castles offer ceremonies in the grounds or gardens, weather permitting. Always ask about a wet-weather alternative.
