Congratulations on your engagement! You’ve found the love of your life and now it’s time to plan your big day out.

Here are just some of our favourite, dreamy wedding locations around the country.

Powerscourt, Co Wicklow

Nestled in secluded woodland, with the blissfully romantic backdrop of the Sugar Loaf Mountain behind, Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa is the perfect place to tie the knot.

Whether guests are looking for intimate or extravagant, traditional or unexpected, the Powerscourt wedding team provides five-star service from beginning to end; listening to ideas and creating a wedding reception that is unique to every bride and groom.

Brigit’s Garden, Co Galway

Brigit’s Garden takes you on a magical journey into the heart of Celtic heritage and mythology, making it one of the truly outstanding places to visit in the West of Ireland.

There are several romantic spots in the four Celtic gardens that are ideal for a special ceremony or a blessing, particularly the Bealtaine and Lughnasa gardens.

What’s more, a unique circular, thatched building in the centre of the gardens (called the Roundhouse) is perfect for a drinks reception should the weather turn cold or wet.

Longueville House, Co Cork

Set on 450 acres of beautiful countryside, Longueville House in Co Cork is an 18th-century country home where wedding dreams come true. Owned and run by William and Aisling O’Callaghan, couples can rest assured that everything about their special day will be tailored to their needs.

Elegant yet rustic, the entire venue can be exclusively taken over by the wedding party; meaning no stray stragglers can gatecrash the reception.

Rain, hail or sunshine – it’s a quirky venue for couples who want something different.
