A Private Estate, Entirely Yours

For couples seeking a destination wedding experience, exclusive weekend hire allows you to make the Castle your home.

  • The Main Event – Your wedding day unfolds within the grandeur of the Castle.

  • Perfect Ending – A laid-back estate gathering with organic BBQ or Pig on the Spit, surrounded by the beauty of the Boyne Valley.

This is not simply a wedding venue, it is a private estate experience, offering time, space and complete exclusivity.
