Description
At The Rine, weddings unfold naturally.
Set across 500 acres of County Clare countryside on the historic Dromoland estate, with the gentle Rine River winding through the landscape, this is a place where celebrations feel effortless. Wide skies, peaceful parkland and views that stretch across the estate create a setting that feels both relaxed and quietly spectacular.
Couples have been celebrating here for generations, and today The Rine continues that tradition with a renewed sense of style. Beautifully designed spaces, thoughtful details and warm hospitality come together to create a wedding experience that feels personal from the very beginning.
Your day flows easily from one moment to the next. Arrival receptions can take place in elegant surroundings or outdoors in our private garden. Our light filled ballroom provides a stunning space for dining and celebration, while outdoor civil ceremonies allow couples to exchange vows surrounded by nature.
One of the most treasured moments for many couples is a visit to our exclusive viewpoint overlooking the magnificent neighbouring Dromoland Castle. Reserved only for our wedding couples, it offers a breathtaking backdrop for those all important photographs.
Food plays a central role in every celebration at The Rine. Our menus focus on quality ingredients and seasonal flavours, carefully prepared by our culinary team to ensure every guest enjoys a memorable dining experience.
Our wedding packages also include room décor provided by the renowned local supplier Ri Weddings and Events. Couples can choose from a wide selection of table centrepieces, chair covers with silk organza bows, or elegant Chivari chairs to complete the look of their celebration.
Everything we offer is tailored to each couple, and as part of our promise we host only one wedding per day. This ensures every celebration receives the attention, care and atmosphere it deserves.
With warm service, beautiful surroundings and a team who genuinely love what they do, The Rine offers a wedding experience that feels relaxed, joyful and wonderfully well looked after.
We look forward to welcoming you and your guests to celebrate your wedding day at The Rine.

- DDanielle & Kimberley22/07/2025Best Day Ever!!Best Day Ever!!We had our wedding at The Inn at Dromoland this past May and it is a decision we do not regret one bit. From our first meeting with Pauline we knew we had made the right decision. She made the process so easy it was like chatting with a friend. Leading up to and on our special day the warmth, professionalism and attention to detail displayed by the team was remarkable. ALL of our guests were blown away by the food served that evening as well as the atmosphere and service provided by The Inn. We would 100% recommend The Inn to anyone who asks. We will be returning for any other special events we will be having in the future. We had our wedding at The Inn at Dromoland this past May and it is a decision we do not regret one bit.

- JJoanne & James25/04/2025One of the Best days of our lives One of the Best days of our livesWe recently had our wedding at The inn At Dromoland and it was absolutely perfect. From the first Day we met with Pauline in the Galway Bay at a wedding fair to the wedding Day she was so helpful and looked after our every need. The Hotel was everything we had been looking for. All our guest were raving about the staff, food, decor. The bridal suite is one of the nicest Iv seen. The hotel could not have done more for us and we are so glad we chose The inn At Dromoland to get married. We had the ceremony and afters all under the one roof. Myself and the bridal party stayed the night before also and I would also highly recommend this as there was no big rush and panic the morning of the wedding. We really got to relax and soak it all in. This hotel comes highly recommended from myself and my husband. We recently had our wedding at The inn At Dromoland and it was absolutely perfect.

- SSarah and Gerry24/11/2024we knew we were in safe hands we knew we were in safe handsFrom the minute we met Pauline on our 1st day at the Inn at Dromoland, we knew we were in safe hands. Pauline put us at ease from the very beginning, and we never felt an ounce of stress throughout the wedding planning or on our Wedding Day. We have both said that we enjoyed our wedding from start to finish and a lot of that is down to Pauline and her team. The food and service, from the reception to the meal to the very much-needed sandwiches and bites at the end of the night, were fantastic.
