Lough Rynn Castle, Estate & Gardens

We got married at Lough Rynn in April 2025, and while it might sound cliché, it truly was the most incredible weekend of our lives. We had previously stayed at Lough Rynn and were reminded of its charm during the RDS wedding showcase, where we were overwhelmed with venue options. We decided to revisit Lough Rynn for a tour, and it immediately felt right—it was only the second venue we viewed, but we knew we didn’t need to see any others. The ambience, the beautiful setting, and the warmth of the staff made it clear this was where we wanted to celebrate our big day. Planning our wedding from London, we leaned heavily on video calls with Aisling, who was consistently accommodating, responsive, and supportive. We had a particular vision for how we wanted everything to look and feel, and no request was ever too much for the team. Their willingness to bring our ideas to life made all the difference. Our tasting session with Andrew was a real highlight—fun, relaxed, and informative. He helped us choose the perfect menu for our guests and made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. It was especially appreciated that the chef was open to a few small tweaks, and showed great care in accommodating my mum’s food allergies, something often overlooked elsewhere. In the days leading up to the wedding, we stayed at the hotel—something we’d highly recommend to help settle in and soak up the atmosphere. Every member of the team, from reception to housekeeping to bar staff, made us feel genuinely welcome. They regularly stopped for a chat and made us feel completely at home. Returning to the venue after the ceremony was magical. Martin was there waiting with a golf buggy, warm blankets, hot water bottles (just in case!), and of course, glasses of bubbly. The canapés were delicious and plentiful, with a thoughtful tray set aside for the bridal party post-photos. We were completely blown away by the setup in the main ballroom—it was breathtaking! The night before the wedding, we practiced our first dance there around 11pm, while staff were still carefully adding finishing touches. Their dedication and attention to detail were apparent not only to us, but to every guest. Many friends commented on the impeccable service and the number of friendly, professional waiters throughout the day. The celebrations continued into the night with the main bar open late, and the famous Dungeon Bar downstairs keeping the party going until around 4am—complete with post-party pizzas, which were a huge hit! We also decided to host our Day 2 at the hotel, and honestly, it was just as perfect as the main event. We were unsure what to expect, but it turned out to be such a special continuation that many guests said it could have easily been the wedding day itself. The BBQ buffet was beautifully presented and of exceptional quality, and the ballroom was once again transformed and ready for a seamless 2pm start—an impressive turnaround given the celebrations the night before. We could go on and on about our experience, because there are just so many positive things to say. We planned every detail in advance, but the team at Lough Rynn brought an added touch of elegance and magic that made the entire celebration unforgettable. Leaving on Monday was bittersweet—we didn’t want it to end. But we’re already looking forward to returning for future family celebrations. If you’re considering Lough Rynn for your wedding, don’t hesitate—it will exceed every expectation!

Lough Rynn is such a beautiful venue. The wedding coordinator Lynette was so helpful and kind to us throughout our wedding plans. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly.

We recently had our wedding in Lough Rynn and everything was brilliant. The day we went to view Lough Rynn, we knew instantly that we wanted to get married there. The grounds are unbelievable and the venue itself is just as stunning. We had a Christmas wedding so their Christmas decorations added that extra bit of magic. Aisling, was amazing to deal with from start to finish. I was a little worried as we were planning our wedding from Canada but Aisling was always just an email away. On the day she made sure everything ran smoothly for us and made me feel so much more at ease. Andrew and Tadhg also were amazing! We cannot thank everyone at Lough Rynn enough. Our day truly was one to remember. If we could go back and do it all again then we absolutely would.
