I am so fortunate in my job that I get to visit so many amazing venues in Northern Ireland and Ireland. The following venues are the ones that I love that offer one wedding per day but also have amazing grounds for your portraits. Having great places for your photographs means you won’t have to stop off anywhere else which will eat into the time you have with your guests.
Check out these amazing venues…
“Situated on 50 acres of fine parkland and wooded grounds in the rolling countryside of County Louth. A beautiful private estate steeped with history and romance”.
The perfect Castle setting for your dream fairytale wedding. Not only does Darver offer a one wedding per day but you have the whole place just for you and your guests. All greeted with an amazing smile from Queen of the Castle, Mary, who will treat you like a Princess the whole day!
Set on a beautiful 1,300 acre country estate on the outskirts of Cavan Town, this stunning venue offers amazing grounds for your portraits. Farnham can also offer outdoor ceremonies with the gazebo and the stately home backdrop. Drinks on the lawn are a perfect way for guests to enjoy a summer wedding.
The warmest of welcomes await those going to Corick House for their special day. The gardens are beautifully maintained giving you the perfect setting for your photographs any time of the year.
