Congratulations on your engagement! Now the hard work begins, planning the best day of your life with the person you love. First thing is first, choosing a wedding venue. We recommend you make a list of exactly what you’re looking for in a venue, what your budget can stretch to, and the potential capacity of your ideal wedding location.
Tulfarris Hotel has a lot to offer engaged couples when considering their ideal venue from outdoor civil ceremonies to traditional family-oriented wedding meals. We consider ourselves one of the top places to get married in Ireland and the premier Wicklow wedding venue. Here are some tips from our professional wedding planners on choosing the perfect wedding venue in Ireland.
Location, Location, Location
Your wedding venue will determine the atmosphere and style of your wedding, as well as the budget, so it's important to choose wisely. The best way to narrow down the top places to get married in Ireland is first to decide what general area you’d like to hold your ceremony and celebration. Sit down with your other half and talk about where you’d like to marry – near their home, near yours or somewhere totally new. You’ll want somewhere that is easy to reach for guests and vendors and somewhere picturesque with plenty of photo ops. Located just 40 minutes from Dublin, Tulfarris offers exquisite surroundings without the disconnect
Exclusive Venue Hire
Hiring a wedding venue exclusively for your ceremony and celebration is an increasingly popular choice with Irish couples. Deciding in advance if this suits your wedding party will further narrow your search for the perfect destination.
Tulfarris Hotel offers a perfectly private setting Our moderately secluded but well-connected venue on the Blessington Lakes and our fabulous Manor House is an ideal location for a discerning couple who wants their wedding to stand out and be remembered. Our Manor House can also host small family weddings of up to 14 people including accommodation.
Wedding Venue Capacity
Sit down with your other half early on and decide the capacity of your wedding. When you have included all family members, friends and colleagues that you’d like to see at your big day, you’ll be able to refine your search to venues with a similar capacity.
We have many years of wedding experience and have hosted all types of wedding celebrations. We offer space for civil ceremonies – indoor or outdoor, close family dinners or large-scale lively wedding parties. We can host weddings for both small and large numbers, the maximum capacity being 250 guests for dinner. We also offer a selection of ceremony suites if you wish to take your vows within the grounds.
The Entire Package
Next, you need to decide how much involvement you want to have with your big day. While some Brides and Grooms prefer to organise everything to fine detail, others are happy to sit back and let someone else do the hard work. Decide if you want a hotel that offers the entire package to make your life a little easier or venue hire only so you have complete control over the most important day of your life.
Tulfarris Hotel offers couples flexibility when planning their big day. We are happy to organise many aspects of your wedding on your behalf from the ceremony down to the centrepieces with as much or as little involvement as you’d like.
