Markree Castle Hotel

Markree Castle, winner of Weddings Online ‘Exclusive Venue of the Year 2024’, is a truly enchanting setting for your big day. With a relaxed atmosphere, breathtaking 500-acre estate, and luxurious accommodation, it offers couples the perfect place to celebrate and the freedom to design the wedding they’ve always imagined.

On your special day, arrive in style – whether by elegant wedding car, horse and carriage, on horseback through the grand entrance, or for something truly memorable, by boat to the castle’s private boathouse.

Inside, your guests will feel completely at home. Welcome them with a drinks reception in the Grand Hall by the roaring fire before moving on to a lavish five-course banquet served across our distinctive interlinked dining rooms. Afterwards, continue the celebration in the entertainment suite, complete with a Gin and Whiskey bar, perfect for dancing the night away. For a touch of charm, the hidden Butler’s Kitchen awaits with tea, coffee, and late-night treats, while the wedding couple can unwind in the Billiard Room with their own private minibar.

As one of Ireland’s most sought-after destination wedding venues, Markree Castle ensures total privacy for up to 210 guests within its tranquil countryside location. Every guest is treated like royalty, thanks to the warm hospitality and outstanding service of our dedicated team. For couples planning from overseas, our award-winning wedding specialists are always available by phone, email, or video call, taking the stress out of organising your big day.

Our Markree Wedding Package provides exclusive use of the castle and its beautiful surroundings, including mature woodlands, a rose garden, and riverside views along the Unshin – ideal for unforgettable wedding photographs. The package also includes expert guidance from our wedding team and, of course, the highlight of the day: a sumptuous five-course banquet crafted from the very best locally sourced produce.

Markree Castle is also fully registered for civil ceremonies and partnerships, offering five beautiful ceremony spaces. Say your vows in the intimate onsite chapel, featuring stained-glass windows and a historic church organ, or choose the grandeur of the Grand Hall. For those who prefer an outdoor ceremony, options include the castle terrace overlooking the rose garden or a romantic woodland setting beneath the trees.

Every wedding at Markree Castle is unique, personal, and a reflection of each couple’s story. Our role is to bring your vision to life and create memories that last a lifetime.
