- CCiara & Gavin01/11/2025The Magical Barberstown CastleThe Magical Barberstown CastleMy husband and I celebrated our wedding in the magical Barberstown Castle last weekend, and I can’t praise this venue enough. The staff were absolutely amazing, nothing was too much of an ask. From the amazing wedding team we spoke to for over a year and a half to the servers at our banquet dinner. The ceremony room and banquet hall are in a great location, away from the hotel itself, so we felt like we were in our own lovely bubble with our friends and family. Our guests were blown away with the quality of the food from both the wedding banquet and our ‘Meeting of the Clans’ family dinner the night before. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the staff handled any dietary requirements our guests had perfectly. The castle’s location is perfect, and the guests who chose to stay the night were extremely complimentary of their gorgeous, spacious rooms. We chose the perfect time of year for our wedding, as the castle grounds looked absolutely stunning with the mix of orange leaves on the trees and red ivy climbing the castle walls. I just want to also say a huge thank you to the efficient and lovely Barberstown wedding team that we dealt with over these last few months; Danielle, Raina, and Emma. These fabulous ladies helped us organise this gorgeous day with our guests, and they really are a dream team! They were quick to respond to our emails and provided great professional advise for our big day.
