What defines a 'luxury' wedding venue in Leinster?

A luxury venue in Leinster is defined by a combination of factors: architectural beauty, exclusive-use options for privacy, impeccable five-star service, gourmet culinary offerings, stunning grounds, and a dedicated, experienced wedding coordination team to manage every detail.

How far in advance should we book a luxury wedding venue in Leinster?

For prime dates, especially Saturdays during the summer months, it is highly recommended to book your luxury venue 18 to 24 months in advance. These exclusive properties are in high demand and often have limited availability.
