Your Special Day
To celebrate your wedding at Ballynahinch Castle is to make a statement. You are having a House Party. This is not your average wedding reception; it is a celebration with friends in an exclusive yet unpretentious castle.
A wedding party at Ballynahinch Castle echoes the great house parties of a time past. Your closest friends and family are welcomed to your “House in the Country” to join you for a weekend of fun, food and festivities.
Every bride to be has her own vision of her wedding and in this regard all celebrations at Ballynahinch Castle are bespoke, individually designed with you to reflect the style and atmosphere that you wish to create.
Ballynahinch Castle is not a typical wedding venue. To this end we cater for very few weddings each year which adds to the exclusive nature of those which we do host. As we enjoy a great deal of repeat business it is not possible for us to host a wedding through the summer months as all our regular guests and fishermen are with us at this time.
As Irish Brides Magazine said;
“You can’t help but fall in love with the Connemara scenery surrounding Ballynahinch Castle. This legendary hotel is renowned for its laid-back luxury and a wedding here is guaranteed to be as romantic and chilled out as you can handle…. Winter is an especially gorgeous time as the place looks wonderful with its Christmas decorations, ivy, candles and roaring log fires. Guests will love pre-or post-wedding day activities like a clay shoot followed by soup and sandwiches in the cosy, fire-warmed pub. Combing casual charm with authentic country living this 4-star gem is as magical as it gets.”
Weekend Weddings
A weekend wedding requires the hotel’s forty bedrooms to be taken exclusively by the wedding party for a minimum of two nights. For the wedding reception a minimum of 100 guests and a maximum of 150 guests can be accommodated in our restaurant.
Mid-Week Weddings
A midweek wedding, Sunday – Thursday inclusive, requires only a minimum one night exclusive rental of all forty hotel bedrooms. For the wedding reception a minimum of 80 guests and a maximum of 150 guests can be accommodated in our restaurant.
Civil Wedding Ceremonies
If you are planning to hold an intimate civil ceremony with a small number of close friends then we are happy to host such an event on a non-exclusive basis. Ballynahinch Castle is licensed to host civil ceremonies, however on a non-exclusive basis, we limit the number of guests to a maximum of 40 and this is subject to availability.
Your special day is made so by the private use of the Hunts Room, inter-connecting Morning Room with access to the gardens and semi-private dining area of our restaurant. You and your guests, all of whom must be resident enjoy all the services of the hotel and grounds. Obviously as other guests will be staying in the house we are unable to accommodate late night dancing and music. This celebration is more suited to a low key gathering of friends and family. Music in the Fishermans pub after dinner is perfectly fine and indeed encouraged, however this would conclude at 12 midnight.
Our wedding co-ordinator will assist you in contacting the registrar and advising you of the steps involved.
