Dunboyne Castle Hotel is a breathtaking Georgian mansion, originally built in 1764. While the property has been meticulously renovated in recent years, it still retains the charm that has made it a favourite among newly engaged couples.

The estate also boasts a rich history, standing on the site of the original castle, which was destroyed during the 18th-century Cromwell invasion. The ruins of the original structure remain on the grounds and add to the estate’s historic appeal.

The estate’s heritage is just one of the many reasons it has earned a reputation as Meath’s premier wedding venue.

Here, couples have the option of hosting their celebrations in the elegant Georgian Drawing Room or the modern Tara Ballroom, with space for up to 220 guests.

The hotel follows a one-wedding-a-day policy, ensuring each couple receives dedicated attention for their special day.

A Grand Entrance on a Red Carpet

As the wedding car winds up the grand driveway, guests gather around the charming Georgian property. Glasses of prosecco in hand, they raise a toast as the newlyweds step onto a red carpet, making their first entrance as a married couple. After greeting loved ones, the couple is escorted to the Library to enjoy a drinks reception, complete with gourmet canapés.

A Luxurious Setting for a Wedding Feast

At the appropriate moment, the dedicated wedding team guides guests to their seats for the wedding meal. Larger celebrations continue in the Tara Suite, a contemporary ballroom adorned with stylish furnishings. Sterling silver candelabras with flickering tea lights enhance the romantic atmosphere.

For more intimate gatherings, the classic Drawing Room provides a beautiful setting, featuring elegant stucco plasterwork cornices and dazzling chandeliers. No matter the venue, every couple and their guests can expect four-star luxury at every turn.

A Culinary Experience to Remember

Dunboyne Castle’s Executive Chef has thoughtfully designed a wedding menu that highlights local produce and innovative, mouth-watering dishes. Each couple has the opportunity to sample their selected menu before the big day, ensuring that every dish meets their expectations. On the wedding day, the meal is as exquisite as anticipated, leaving a lasting impression on guests.
