Happy couple married in September

October 2024

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.

An astonishingly beautiful setting. A most charming and agreeable wedding venue Unique

A real hidden gem in Northern Ireland wedding venues. Not often speechless at venues we visit but this spot really has it all.
