Choosing to say ‘I Do’ in a smaller setting can be just as fabulous and romantic as a grand, fairytale wedding venue.
For some couples, this is much more their style, and we love it. Ireland is home to some of the most beautiful and breathtaking venues, here we bring you five of our favourites. Each of these venues cater for couples looking to celebrate with less than 100 of their closest friends and family.
Fannigstown Castle
As a registered civil wedding venue, small, intimate weddings are this venue’s forte.
Every wedding they host is unique to each couple with every detail planned exclusively for you and your guests. For couples who would like to have a religious ceremony, Fanningstown Castle is within a stone’s throw of three churches.
Their magnificent dining room is the perfect setting for a wedding banquet for up to ten people. Or, if you prefer, they can take up to 20 guests for a buffet meal or barbecue.
