Your Day at a Glance

The celebrations can begin the evening before your wedding, with an intimate gathering of your closest family and friends at Castle Durrow.

Spend the evening together in the beautiful, candlelit surroundings of one of our private dining rooms in the Main House, enjoying a carefully prepared buffet before moving through to Hunters Bar for cocktails.

It's a wonderful opportunity to bring everyone together, catch up over good food and drinks, and enjoy the anticipation of the day ahead. A chance to slow down, spend time with those closest to you and savour the excitement of what's to come.

The morning of your wedding is a special part of the celebrations, filled with excitement, anticipation and those lovely moments shared with the people closest to you.

Begin your day in our beautiful Tiffany Glam Room, a dedicated space for you and your bridal party to get ready together. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast while your hair and makeup preparations get underway, with plenty of room to relax, share a glass of bubbles and soak up the excitement of the morning.

With its elegant furnishings, natural light and charming surroundings, the Tiffany Glam Room provides a beautiful setting for those final preparations, photographs and special moments before it's time to say I do.

Whether you dream of a traditional church ceremony, exchanging vows in the elegant surroundings of our Ballroom, or saying I do outdoors with the beautiful gardens and countryside as your backdrop, Castle Durrow offers a wonderful setting to begin your married life together.

For those choosing a church ceremony, the charming local churches of Durrow are just a short distance from the house, allowing you and your guests to return to Castle Durrow for the celebrations that follow.

From the grandeur of the Ballroom to the romance of an outdoor ceremony, each setting has its own unique charm, allowing you to choose the one that feels most like you.

The drinks reception is where the atmosphere of Castle Durrow really comes into its own. An afternoon of Champagne, beautiful surroundings and time spent celebrating with the people who matter most.

In spring and summer, the terrace provides an elegant setting for drinks and canapés, with views across the gardens and parkland. As the seasons turn, guests are welcomed into the heart of the Main House, where open fires, candlelight and richly furnished reception rooms offer all the warmth and charm of a traditional Irish country house.

For those looking to add something a little different, there are plenty of ways to make the afternoon your own. From an oyster and Champagne reception to freshly shaken espresso martinis or a Guinness station where guests can pour their own pint, these thoughtful touches bring a sense of occasion and personality to the celebrations.

It's a lovely balance of timeless country house hospitality and the freedom to celebrate in your own style.

At Castle Durrow, good food has always been at the heart of our hospitality, and your wedding breakfast is no exception. We believe a wedding meal should be something guests genuinely look forward to and remember long after the celebrations have ended.

Our Ballroom provides a beautiful setting for the occasion, with its elegant interiors, candlelit tables and views across the gardens. As guests take their seats, the afternoon gives way to an evening of wonderful food, fine wines, speeches and celebration.

Under the direction of our Head Chef, Graham Gallagher, who has been part of the Castle Durrow family for over 15 years, our kitchen takes pride in serving generous portions of beautifully prepared food. Our menus bring together traditional favourites and modern country house cooking, with an emphasis on quality ingredients, flavour and dishes that are as satisfying as they are beautifully presented.

For us, a wonderful wedding breakfast is about more than what looks good on the plate. It's about delicious food, generous hospitality and the pleasure of bringing everyone together around the table.

After a wonderful night of celebrations, there's something particularly lovely about waking up at Castle Durrow, knowing there's no need to rush away just yet.

Gather with family and friends over a leisurely breakfast in the Main House, sharing stories from the night before, catching up on the moments you might have missed and enjoying a little more time together.

With freshly brewed coffee, a generous Full Irish breakfast and views across the gardens and countryside, it's a relaxed and welcoming start to married life. A chance to enjoy the house at a slower pace before saying your goodbyes or continuing the celebrations into Day Two.

Who says the celebrations have to end after the wedding? Day Two is all about making the most of having your favourite people together for one more day.

Head down to The Pavilion Club for a relaxed afternoon of delicious BBQ food, chilled drinks and a little friendly competition on our padel courts. Whether you're keen to get involved in a game or would rather sit back with a drink and enjoy the atmosphere, it's the perfect opportunity to unwind, catch up and relive the highlights of the night before.

As the afternoon turns into evening, keep things casual with freshly prepared wood-fired pizzas, more drinks and plenty of good company. With no formalities or schedules to follow, it's a chance to enjoy another day together before everyone heads their separate ways.
