Picture the scene. Evening light hits the turrets of Clontarf Castle Hotel as you sweep down the dramatic staircase to greet your family and friends.
It’s your wedding day, and it’s your castle; here, on the stunning northern coastline of Dublin, your guests are preparing to dance the night away.
At Clontarf Castle the richness of the old enriches the new. With over 800 years of history, we have seen generations of wedding celebrations played out between the castle walls, and that is just one of the things that makes us genuinely special. It is the people who have lived, loved and laughed at Clontarf Castle that truly enrich every wedding experience.
With a breathtaking castle façade, dedicated art galleries, original 12th-century architecture, landscaped gardens and a romantic outdoor terrace, Clontarf Castle holds a wealth of unforgettable experiences.
We recognise that every couple is unique. Our wedding team are here to help design an experience that captures your own personality and style, and our dedicated wedding co-ordinator is with you from your initial enquiry right through to the day itself.
I can’t say enough about our wedding experience at Clontarf Castle! It was simply magical.
The most perfect day. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more, down to the last detail. We wouldn’t change a thing about the day, the venue, or the team.
Everything ran very smoothly on the day and was totally stress free. The team were very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us.
Everything went perfectly and you really helped us focus on ourselves by taking care of everything.
From the moment we booked in the team literally could not have done any more for us.
The setting in The Castle is stunning and the venue suited our party size so well.
Everything from the Ceremony to the drinks reception to the meal was perfectly organized and ran like clockwork.
It really was the perfect day, we couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Review from WeddingDates.ieWhere do we even begin?
Thank you doesn’t seem like enough for everything you did for us over the past year. From the very first meeting, you made us feel completely at ease. You never once made us feel like we were just another wedding. You made us feel like our day genuinely mattered, and that meant more than you’ll ever know.
You have such a calm, reassuring way about you. No matter what question we had, or what little panic I found myself in, you always had an answer, a solution, or simply a smile that made everything feel under control. …
