Civil Ceremonies

For a civil, Humanist, or Spiritualist wedding ceremony, you deserve a venue that exudes romance and offers a real sense of occasion. Very few venues offer a truly special setting for your ceremony and reception, but Markree Castle stands out as an exceptional choice for both.

Registered for civil ceremonies and partnerships, we offer a selection of four stunning locations to say your vows, both indoors and outdoors.

If you envision a traditional wedding, the Chapel at Markree Castle will bring your dream to life. This exquisite space, with its breathtaking stained-glass windows and antique church organ, is the only onsite chapel within an Irish castle.

Our other indoor ceremony option is among the rich décor in the Grand Hall. This intimate but impressive location is a great choice for Spiritualist and Humanist ceremonies and blessings.

Alternatively, imagine exchanging vows amidst the beauty of nature on the castle terrace. Overlooking the castle’s manicured lawns, a picturesque rose garden, and a charming wishing well, this stunning setting offers a serene and romantic ambiance for your outdoor ceremony.

For those who dream of a woodland wedding, our landscaped forest provides a magical and intimate location beneath the trees. This enchanting location is perfect for couples seeking a unique and natural setting for their vows.
