From elegant candlelit receptions to vibrant, music-filled evenings worthy of Slane’s legendary reputation, your wedding becomes part of the Castle’s continuing story.

A Private Estate, Entirely Yours

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

  • Arrival Day – Welcome your guests with a rehearsal dinner or relaxed celebration in Browne’s Bar or the Courtyard

  • 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.

With over 230 years of history as your backdrop, turrets and towers framing your photographs, and the legacy of music woven into its walls, Slane Castle provides a setting of rare romance and distinction.

Here, your celebration becomes timeless.
