Venue Ideas for a Christmas Wedding in Ireland
If your dream is to get married this Christmas on a far away romantic island, look no further than Ireland. With its mild, welcoming winter climate and its wonderful selection of hotels and castles, Ireland is an ideal destination for a Christmas wedding.
Below are some venue ideas you might find worth looking into:
Adare Manor, County Limerick
Situated nearby the banks of river Maigue and surrounded by beautiful medieval ruins, Adare Manor is a large, romantic castle hotel. It offers accommodation in luxuriant, ornate rooms, Irish specialties prepared by a team of chefs and it even has a golf course where your guests can entertain themselves. The religious ceremony can be held at the Trinitarian Abbey nearby, in an atmosphere that is evocative of centuries long gone. A large wedding party can be held in the castle’s garden, but if you have in mind a small, intimate wedding, the castle’s library is the perfect place for you.
Coopershill House, County Sligo
If your dream is to have a small, informal wedding, Coopershill House is an excellent choice. This Georgian mansion is situated on a large estate comprising 500 acres of natural beauty in the form of farm and woodland. It can accommodate up to 24 persons in the elegant dining room and 16 in its luxury bedrooms. The wedding menu has four courses, which are prepared using healthy, organic meat and vegetables. At Coopershill House, the focus is on comfort, peaceful atmosphere and elegance.
Viewmount House, County Longford
Another elegant and romantic Georgian mansion, Viewmount House is a wonderful venue for a Christmas wedding in Ireland. It can accommodate up to 80 guests (or more, if you’re willing to hire a marquee) in its luxuriant restaurant, which offers Irish specialties prepared using local produce and an amazing selection of wines from the mansion’s cellar. The bedrooms combine the pleasure of modern comfort with the traditional feel of antique furniture and feathered duvets. The estate also contains several gardens, each having its own theme (Japanese, herb garden, orchard etc.)
Clonalis House, County Roscommon
Ideal for a small wedding, as it can only accommodate up to 20 guests, Clonalis House is a Victorian Italianate style villa with view to the river and a peaceful atmosphere infused with history and a sense of elegance. Its large, luxuriant rooms are decorated with paintings and antique detailing, which creates a wonderful atmosphere for celebrating your big day in style. Other highlights are a golf course, a games room, a hard tennis court and beautiful woodlands to enjoy together.
The ambience and style of these Irish venues are ideal for getting married, especially during the Christmas season, when their magic becomes even more intense. Whether you’re looking for a large, fairytale wedding or a small, intimate celebration, Ireland is the perfect destination for creating wonderful memories that will last you a lifetime.
