Wedding venues in Ireland

Your venue sets the date, the guest count and roughly half the budget, so it is almost always the first booking. Irish venues range from country house hotels with all-in packages to dry-hire barns and castles where you build the day yourself.

Before you book

Questions worth asking every wedding venue

  • Is the price per head all-in, or are drinks receptions and evening food extra?
  • What is the minimum number for a Friday, Saturday and Sunday?
  • Is there a civil ceremony licence on site, or do you need a church or registry office?
  • What time is the bar licence until, and is there a residents' bar after?
  • How many bedrooms are held for your guests, and at what rate?

Common questions

Wedding venues in Ireland, answered

How much do wedding venues cost in Ireland?

Most Irish couples spend between €8,000 and €25,000, which is roughly 42% of a typical €37,000 wedding budget. Across the 36 suppliers listed here with a published price, the average starting price is €101. Prices are higher in Dublin and lower in the midlands and border counties.

When should we book a wedding venue?

About 13 months before the wedding is normal. For a Saturday in June, July or August, book earlier. The most in-demand suppliers in Ireland are gone 18 months out for peak dates. Off-peak and midweek dates are far easier.

How do we compare wedding venues properly?

Get everything in writing and compare like with like. Is the price per head all-in, or are drinks receptions and evening food extra? What is the minimum number for a Friday, Saturday and Sunday? Ask each supplier the same set of questions and put the answers side by side. The cheapest quote is often the one with the most stripped out of it.

Do you charge couples to use WeddingServicesIreland?

No, and it is free for suppliers too. There is no listing fee, no commission and no paid placement. Ranking comes from the enquiries and reviews couples actually generate, so nobody can buy their way above a better supplier.
