Galgorm Is A Wedding Venue Favourite
Galgorm offers a venue like no other. Born of a vision to create a stunning and idyllic wedding setting like nothing else in Ireland, it has been a favourite for wedding couples for over two and half decades.
Galgorm is home to two stunning ceremony spaces, The Phantom House and The Ghost House, as well as idyllic settings for outdoor ceremonies – each offering a magical backdrop for a civil ceremony or exchange of vows. Hosting your ceremony and celebrating your wedding reception mere yards away from one another minimises the moving pieces and allows your guests to virtually forget about their car keys for the day, focusing entirely on embracing your fairytale romance. Make the most of the time you have saved travelling between venues and have your wedding photography complemented by the stunning grounds of Galgorm, nestled alongside the impressive River Maine and woodland before continuing your celebrations to one of our three unique reception suites. From the opulent Great Hall and the art deco Renaissance Suite to the contemporary Four Seasons Suit there is a space to suit all wedding couples.
Savour quality time with your loved ones, particularly those who have travelled great distances, by having one central location for your guests to stay. With 125 rooms including suites, deluxe, and superior rooms as well as lodging accommodation including cottages, shepherd’s huts, forest dens, log cabins and residences. Galgorm offers accommodation to suit each and every type of guest. If this isn’t enough you have the chance to relax and unwind in the serene surroundings of Ireland’s first award-winning Thermal Spa Village at Galgorm. Gather your thoughts as the flurry of excitement builds and take some time to embrace a moment of tranquillity in the most beautiful, calming surroundings of the three different spa gardens.
From the moment you enquire about hosting one of the most memorable events of your life, you can rest assured that every detail of the day will be lovingly attended to by their passionate and experienced team from their dedicated Wedding Planners through to your Set Up Manager, Head Wedding Chef and their teams. Galgorm will ensure all your careful planning comes off without a hitch ensuring you experience the day you have always dreamed of and more! With over 450 acres of lush parkland more couples arrive the day prior to their big day, chill out in the spa in the afternoon, enjoy pre-dinner cocktails in McKendry’s, relaxed dining in one of four restaurants before returning to the pub for a night cap! The day after the wedding it’s a late breakfast all round then back to the spa to zen for a few hours before “Day 2 BBQ”.
The team will craft your wedding celebrations with you, securing suppliers, perfecting arrangements and taking out all the stress along the way, leaving you time for the important stuff – hello cake tasting! Galgorm are no strangers to hosting weddings and yet you will feel as though your celebrations are as unique as your love for one another.
So, sit back, relax and immerse yourself in the most magical time of your life.
