Luxury destination wedding in Ireland at Mount Juliet Estate
For those couples dreaming of a destination wedding in Ireland, Mount Juliet Estate offers a timeless, five-star experience that is both deeply romantic and effortlessly accessible. Within 90 minutes from Dublin Airport and part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, our award-winning estate invites you to mark life’s most meaningful moments in a setting of rare beauty and heritage.
Recognised as Europe’s Best Wedding Venue by the Love Travel Awards and regularly featured in Condé Nast Traveler, Mount Juliet Estate is one of Ireland’s most exclusive country estates, where Georgian elegance meets modern luxury, and every wedding feels entirely unique.
An unforgettable setting for your wedding in Ireland
Set across 500 acres of rolling Irish countryside, Mount Juliet Estate is a private sanctuary of ancient woodlands, manicured gardens and river views. At its heart lies the 18th-century Manor House, a wisteria-draped residence built as a love letter from the Earl of Carrick to his wife Juliet. Today, it remains one of Ireland’s most enchanting venues for intimate, luxury weddings.
Exchange vows in the walled garden by our romantic Moongate arch, in the stillness beside the lily pond or on the tiered lawns with views of Ballylinch Stud. Indoors, the Manor offers Georgian drawing rooms, wood-burning fireplaces, and candlelit spaces that feel like your own private home for the day.
For celebrations of up to 80 guests, the Manor House can be reserved exclusively. For larger gatherings, the elegant McCalmont Suite at Hunter’s Yard welcomes up to 200 guests with vaulted ceilings, natural light and access to scenic lawns.
A wedding to remember
Mount Juliet Estate offers an unforgettable setting for a wedding weekend, with two distinct accommodation experiences: the historic Manor House and the contemporary Hunter’s Yard.
The Manor House, perched above the River Nore and Ballylinch Stud, features 32 individually designed rooms rich in heritage, complete with period furnishings and original details.
Just a short stroll away, Hunter’s Yard, once the estate’s stable yard, has been transformed into a serene and stylish retreat, home to 93 thoughtfully appointed rooms.

A wedding and so much more
A wedding at Mount Juliet Estate invites more than a single day of celebration. Begin with an elegant rehearsal dinner or a casual gathering in the gardens, perhaps ending the evening with a whiskey tasting beside the fire, moments shared and memories made.
Throughout your stay, a wealth of experiences awaits.

For those drawn to the outdoors, options include falconry, fly fishing on the River Nore, and clay shooting across the parkland.
