One of Northern Ireland’s most ‘WOW’ wedding venues, The Loft is situated in The Rabbit Hotel & Retreat, burrowed in the heart of Templepatrick and located only 20 minutes from Belfast and 10 minutes from Belfast International Airport.
The stylish little sister to the established Galgorm, The Loft is a wedding destination in Northern Ireland that offers an alternative and magical setting for your wedding day. The Loft does things a little differently, with a distinctively unique food offering, enhancements that break tradition, and a One Wedding a Day policy to celebrate with up to 170 of your closest family and friends.
On arrival, ascend an elegant staircase under a statement chandelier where you will be wowed by the breath-taking interior of The Loft, with high vaulted ceilings decorated with twinkling feature chandeliers entwined with celebratory planting. Taking centre stage is The Loft’s feature fireplace, located behind the top table and featuring a mirrored backdrop and hanging foliage with drooping lighting for a warm glow behind the couple.
Tucked behind the grand fireplace you’ll find a spacious outdoor terrace that overlooks a charming lake and The Loft’s ceremony space, The Boathouse. Walking down the aisle is one of the most important moments of your big day, and the beautifully intimate Boathouse Ceremony Room sits lakeside, reflecting the rustic charm and natural warmth of The Loft. Hosting your nearest and dearest, this elegant setting is the perfect space to say your ‘I do’s’. Licensed for civil ceremonies, partnerships, blessings and renewals of vows.
The 50-bedroom boutique hotel offers quirky accommodation and a show-stopping spa featuring a Roman bath with a 2-metre overhanging disco ball — the ultimate spot for post-wedding celebrations. For pre-ceremony preparations or a laid-back day-two gathering, The Lake House provides an exclusive five-bedroom retreat with its own private hot tub and sauna, giving you the perfect space to get ready together and extend the celebrations in style.
The Rabbit Hotel & Retreat has also been recently named Hotel of the Year (up to 75 rooms) at the LCN Awards 2025.
