The cute cottage exterior of the Ice House visible from the road belies a cutting edge design and a truly distinctive venue in which to celebrate.
The archetypal Galway experience, Ard Bia is all that makes Galway special – a little bit boho, very relaxed, welcoming and so much fun.
We loved: The view across the river is as spectacular in winter sitting by the fire, as sipping drinks on the terrace in summer.
We loved: The food of course! For the more adventurous couple who want a true gastronomic experience for their guests with a completely different style of wedding feast.

on A family home and grand castle all-in-one, Markree is majestic and homely all at the same time. The castle also boasts its own Victorian chapel, that can be used for civil ceremonies. We loved: Unusually for a country house in Ireland, the beautiful dining room at Markree seats 170 in stunning surroundings without need for a marquee.
