Happy couple married in September

Wonderful venue

Old Court Wedding Company is a superb venue. We had a wonderful wedding day in September 2024, and the stunning location made for some beautiful photos. Our guests commented numerous times on how lovely a setting it was. We wouldn't want to have chosen anywhere else. Finbar, the owner/manager, was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the process. We couldn't fault any aspect of the experience. The boathouse is also a really special feature of the venue, and a great place to stay immediately after the wedding.

I cant recommend enough

Old Court is the perfect all in one venue. Nestled in a private estate with stunning views of Strangford Lough, Old Court boasts a 17th-century church, beautifully restored stables, a unique yurt-inspired marquee, and expansive natural gardens that lead down to the Lough Shore. It is truly an incredible venue, I can't recommend the Old Court Wedding Company enough. I had the best day shooting here, and all the staff were incredible.

Stunning!

We photographed Sarah and Marks wedding at the Old Court and we fell in love! They held their ceremony right down on the loughshore with their nearest and dearest, it was stunning! It just a fantastic venue that has so much potential. We can wait to photograph another wedding here soon!
