We have numerous Castles in Northern Ireland, and they make for incredible Wedding Venues.

Whilst it doesn’t have any accommodation on site, there are many hotels close by.
It’s impeccably maintained and offers spectacular views across our beautiful city.
The jewel in the crown of North Belfast, it is an ideal wedding venue, and in a location that is amazing for photos. It’s just perfect.
Small Wedding Venues Belfast
Its OK to want a small or intimate wedding.
