Wedding Venues We Know Inside and Out

Adare Manor's neo-Gothic façade and parkland give a wedding film real scale: long galleries, formal gardens, and a golf-course backdrop most venues in Ireland can't match.

Ashford Castle sits on the edge of Lough Corrib, and the lake light is the reason most couples choose it. We plan coverage around that water from the first portraits onward.

Ballyfin Demesne is one of the most restored Regency houses in Ireland, set inside 614 acres of parkland in County Laois: a genuinely different scale of venue.

Castle Oaks House Hotel sits on the banks of the Shannon outside Limerick, with woodland grounds that give a more relaxed, garden-party feel than a formal castle wedding.

Dromoland Castle pairs a genuine medieval keep with manicured grounds near the Shannon Estuary: a rare combination for couples who want both history and polish in their photos.

Killarney Oaks Hotel puts Kerry's mountains and lakes within easy reach without sacrificing the convenience of an in-town venue.

Luttrellstown Castle Resort sits on 500 acres on Dublin's western edge, close enough for a city wedding, with the parkland of a country estate.

Mount Juliet's Georgian mansion and riverside parkland along the Nore give us one of the most varied backdrops we plan around in the south-east.

No.1 Pery Square is a restored Georgian townhouse in the heart of Limerick city: intimate, detailed, and a world away from a country-estate wedding.

Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire mixes a genuine 17th-century house with eccentric, modern interior design, not a typical stately-home wedding.

Cliveden House sits above the Thames in Buckinghamshire: formal Italianate gardens, a genuinely grand façade, and river light that changes the whole feel of the afternoon.

Coworth Park's parkland setting near Ascot gives a country-house feel without leaving the home counties: polo lawns, woodland, and a genuinely relaxed pace.

Glenapp Castle overlooks the Irish Sea from the Ayrshire coast: one of the most dramatic settings we plan around anywhere in Scotland.

Hedsor House sits above the Thames Valley in Buckinghamshire, with sweeping lawns that have hosted period films as often as weddings.

The Dorchester on Park Lane is about as formal as a London wedding gets: a ballroom built for it, and a level of detail that rewards careful, unhurried coverage.
