Weddings at Westport House & Country Park
Stunning Location for Wedding Receptions, Banquets or Wedding Photographs
Beautiful…
‘It forms an event in one’s life to have seen that place, so beautiful is it, and so unlike all other beauties that I know of. Were such beauties lying upon the English shores, it would be a world’s wonder, perhaps if it were on the Mediterranean or the Baltic, English travellers would flock to it by hundreds. Why not come and see it in Ireland.’
William Makepeace Thackery
Westport House is a truly unique Venue for your Special Wedding in Ireland. Designed by the famous Architects Richard Cassels and James Wyatt, Westport House has many architecturally stunning rooms but those used for Weddings are by far the most exquisite.
Spectacular…
The rooms available for Weddings at Westport House are the most spectacular. The Entrance Hall has a magnificent Barrel ceiling by Richard Cassels, parquet floors and a sweeping marble staircase by George Wilkenson. This room is where guests gather to have their champagne reception on arrival. It is also a spectacular location for photographs. The Library and The Morning Room are also opened up for guests to enjoy and relax in.
Intimate…
The Drawing Room, which leads off from the Entrance Hall is where the dining takes place for smaller weddings. We can cater for up to 60 guests in this very intimate setting where there is a beautiful 18th century hand painted ceiling. This room is adjoined to The Long Gallery where dining also takes place for larger numbers. The maximum number of guests we cater for in Westport House is 90 (for numbers exceeding 90 there is a marquee site adjacent to the house overlooking Clew Bay). The Long Gallery is where the dancing or post dinner party takes place.
Westport House is still very much as it was; a venue that transports you back in time, surrounded by original furniture, superb paintings, open fireplaces and stunning architectural details in every room. Westport House caters for a maximum of 90 people inside but for larger Weddings Groups or Wedding Parties there is a suitable site for Marquees directly adjacent to the house.
The beautiful terraces and gardens of Westport House are ideal for larger Weddings Parties with the stunning views of Clew Bay, Clare Island and Croagh Patrick providing a truly unique backdrop for a magnificent Wedding Marquee.
Should you decide to have your reception elsewhere then why not use Westport House and Gardens as the venue for your Wedding Photographs. Not only are there beautiful locations outside – on the terraces, by the lake, at the waterfall or in the woods, but there are also some lovely rooms inside Westport House – perfect for a wet day or just because you’re in search of a Wedding Venue with a difference.
