Tucked away in the lush countryside of Celbridge, Co. Kildare, Cliff at Lyons is one of Ireland’s most sought-after wedding venues - and it’s easy to see why. This romantic haven, where rivers flow gently and time seems to pause, is the kind of place where real-life fairytales are born.

Steeped in history and wrapped in nature, the estate offers couples a deeply personal, luxurious setting to celebrate their love. At Cliff at Lyons, weddings are never one-size-fits-all. Instead, each celebration is curated to reflect the couple’s unique story, with a team of expert planners, chefs, and hospitality professionals ensuring every detail is perfect - from red carpet arrivals to hand-selected wines and bespoke banquets.

A Completely Unique Setting

Cliff at Lyons isn’t just a venue: it’s an experience. Whether you’re planning an opulent celebration with up to 120 guests or a more intimate gathering for 25, the estate offers exclusive use of its most breathtaking spaces.

Imagine saying your vows in the serene Mill Garden, to the gentle soundtrack of a nearby waterfall. Then, toasting to your future in the enchanting Orangery, or dining in the historic Shackleton Mill, where the Mill Restaurant, Lyon’s Den Bar, and Mill Terrace are yours alone to enjoy.

Couples and their wedding parties can stay on-site in one of five elegant two-bedroom cottages or one of the 31 individually styled rooms, including the much-loved Lily Pond Rooms, set beside a tranquil water feature in the heart of the estate.

A Wedding Feast Like No Other

Food is at the heart of every celebration at Cliff at Lyons. Head Chef Sean Smith leads the kitchen with a passion for locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients - many of which are grown right on the estate.

Menus include a generous three-course banquet with three choices per course, freshly baked artisan breads, a curated wine selection (half bottle per guest), and prosecco for toasts. Even the canapés - five per guest on arrival - are individually prepared to reflect the creativity and quality guests can expect throughout the day.

Evening guests won’t go hungry either, with a selection of late-night nibbles served in your private bar or garden space.

The Details That Make the Difference

From personalised menus and candelabra centrepieces to a complimentary night in the Bridal Suite, Cliff at Lyons goes beyond beautiful scenery. Their expert team takes care of every detail: cake stand and knife, sound system, room hire, table linens - all included. Every element is seamlessly woven together to ensure your day flows beautifully.

And if you’re planning a smaller celebration, their Intimate Wedding Package offers all the magic of the full experience, with tailored touches and a relaxed, luxurious feel for gatherings of 25 to 45 guests.
