Wedding Venues in Northern Ireland

From the moment we first met Vicky almost two years before our wedding, right through to the day itself, we knew we were in the safest possible hands. Choosing Hillsborough Castle as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. The Castle itself is simply stunning, with beautiful rooms, incredible scenery, and spectacular gardens that provided the perfect backdrop for our day. Every one of our guests commented on how special and unique the venue was. What truly sets Hillsborough Castle apart, however, is its people. Vicky was absolutely exceptional throughout the entire process. She was organised, proactive, thoughtful and completely invested in making our day perfect. She coordinated with our suppliers, managed countless details behind the scenes, and thought of things that honestly never would have occurred to us. On the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly. We never had to worry about a single thing because Vicky had already anticipated it and taken care of it. Vicky, along with Kim and the wider team, delivered a level of professionalism and care that exceeded every expectation. They were attentive, calm, friendly and completely on top of every detail from start to finish. We were able to relax and enjoy every moment because we had complete confidence in them. Looking back, the entire day felt effortless from our perspective, which is a testament to the incredible amount of work being done behind the scenes. Everything flowed perfectly, and every interaction with the team was warm, genuine and professional. We genuinely could not recommend Hillsborough Castle highly enough. It is a spectacular venue, but more importantly it is home to an outstanding team. Vicky is a true asset to Hillsborough Castle and Historic Royal Palaces. Her passion, dedication and personal touch made all the difference, and we will always be grateful for the role she played in making our wedding day so unforgettable. Quite simply, it was perfect.

From our initial contact with the hotel to our final check out we could not fault the venue nor staff on any aspect. They made our entire experience hassle free and a pure joy for ourselves and all our guests. Both John and Niamh answered all of our requirements perfectly, there were no issues just great solutions. The Drawing Room was a beautiful private setting, Quality Champagne, Delicious Cake, an awesome Afternoon Tea was served precisely at 1530hrs, rounding off the evening with a gorgeous meal at JJ Farralls in the hotel. Thank you Slieve Donard for your attitude and attention to detail, a truely remarkable day.

The team are amazing! I’m an anxious person and I asked A LOT of questions, and they answered quickly and efficiently. Nothing was too much of an issue, and we were very well looked after. Our vendors found it easily dealing with the staff when setting up photo booths etc. food was delicious, vegans, vegetarians and coeliacs all said how they never ate so well at a wedding before. The grounds are gorgeous, perfect for wedding photos! Rooms are beautiful and the breakfast the next day is amazing too We honestly had the best day, people are still reaching out to tell us how much they loved it and how it was the best wedding they’d ever been to!

My sister had her Wedding in the Tullyglass Hotel, it was absolutely beautiful. The gardens / surroundings were to die for, which helped thanks to the gorgeous weather we had. The food was delicious and not to mention the day went hitch-free. With a great disco to end the night in style. Highly recommend this venue

We couldn't recommend the Clandeboye Lodge highly enough, every aspect of the day was perfect. The team treated us as if we were the only couple getting married every time we were in contact, and were so responsive even at weekends. They truly care about every wedding, and are so personable, with great advice and guidance through the process. The all inclusive package was brilliant and had everything we needed, and really helped to have a total figure rather than individual costings for every aspect of the day. It's the most beautiful venue, and little to no additional decor is required which also adds to the value. The food was absolutely perfect, and the highlight of our day. Highly recommend the tasting menu in the Coq and Bull too, it was so enjoyable and really helped us narrow down options.

From the start to the end the day was perfect. The team was uncreadable and very supportive there was nothing too much to ask. The St Oliver Plunkett Church ruins was magical and very special place for our ceremony and the Loughcrew Estate was perfect fit for our intimate wedding. The chef prepared amazing food and guests was left speacheless. I would highly recommend Loughcrew Estate to other couples.

Leighinmohr is a great wedding venue. The newly renovated garden room is wonderful for a cermony. Food was outstanding. We had Patricia as our wedding coordinator, she is outstanding, made sure our day ran on time and smoothly, which it did. All guests made comments how great the food was. Definitely a fantastic hotel for a wedding.

My fiancé and I arranged for a viewing with wedding coordinator Donna Cummings. Donna welcomed us on arrival and took us to a lovely quiet area so we could chat privately. Donna asked us both what we were looking for and what our budget was for the wedding! Donna explained what packages the Galgorm offered and then showed us the venues. The first being the four seasons suite. What could we say, I’ve never seen a man speechless like my fiancé. It was just magical and that was only the beginning. Donna lead us into the next room where our guest would eat and it was breath taking. The crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and the glass window overlooking a waterfall in your own private garden. We both fell in love with this room. We moved on to where we could be married. Ghosts house was bright and beautiful, very elegant. Phamtom house was complete opposite it was more tranquil, warm and ideal for bigger weddings. We moved on to view other venues in the Manner house for bigger parties, again both breath taking. We both thanked Donna for all her time and left excited for our special day. We obviously viewed other places but four season suite stole our hearts and the package that was offered. Communication between Donna and I was outstanding. Any issues, it was asdressed ASAP. Fast forward wedding day 21 August 24. What can I say, best day EVER! I just turned up night before with all my accessories for the day, explained what everything was for and where it needed too go. The rest was taken care off. I choose to stay the night before to make it less stressful. I felt like a princess, nothing was to much bother. The log cabin was just perfect for the bridal party. I can honestly say the staff were amazing from start to finish. Anything you asked for they fixed the issue straight away. Events Manager Hannah was exceptional. Always near by, nothing was an issue for her to sort or do. A great asset to the company, I can really see Hannah go far within her career. The food was fabulous, staff worked hard and excellent customer service. We had our dream wedding, and no better place than the Galgorm.

Like most brides I had 2 or 3 venues on my mind and was deliberating which to choose from, until I met Katie the wedding coordinator at Malone Lodge, her interest, enthusiasm, time and dedication to us as a couple was enough for me to lose a deposit on another venue in favour of Malone Lodge, with such an intimate, personable and family feel for it Malone Lodge is a beautiful venue and setting for a wedding, we had the most magical and memorable day and a lot of that was because of the interactions with the staff, Katie and others, they were all so involved in the wedding leading up to it to make sure that everything went according to plan and it if there was a change to be made (or I changed my mind about something as brides often do) nothing was ever a problem, in fact the team went out of their way to ensure that me 'the bride' was happy and content with every single aspect of the day, from arrival until going to bed! As for the food, as a couple we were so involved with the choice and tasting of food that we were on first name terms with the chef Michael, he checked in with us also to ensure we were happy, my only regret about the day is that I can’t do it all over again - and if I did I wouldn't change a thing about the venue! Above everything else their customer service and communication skills are 110%! We very pleased with our day and couldn’t have wished for better, so thank you for your planning and organising and the rest of the staff who helped. We would recommend Malone Lodge to anyone!

Thank you for the wonderful food and service for our recent wedding at your castle. All of our guests were stunned by the beautiful location, and we cannot thank you enough for making our big day special
