Private Wedding Venues
"We completely put our trust in you and Lisa with everything and you exceeded all our expectations and made our day so incredibly relaxed, stress free and great fun. We found Ballinacurra online and knew that was it for us and upon visiting it we knew there was nowhere else that would do. As we said, everytime we went down to visit we left feeling wonderful. Your recommendations were the best: the bands, the photographer and singers were exactly what we wanted and more. All of our guests have commented what an amazing venue, food and how wonderful the staff were. I have since recommended it to quite a number of people and will definitely throw another bash there in the future." Sarah and James, Wedding December 2009, Dublin

We are ideally suited for small luxury weddings of up to 50 people in our Ballroom, up to 96 people in our Garden Room or up to 130 people in a combination of both rooms with are inter-connected.
Or we can organise multiple events for your wedding group. For example, you may wish to have an intimate family dinner on the first night, up to 96 people for the actual wedding dinner in our Garden Room and then additional numbers the following day for a relaxed barbecue or buffet party. The choice is yours to decide.
There are many aspects to a wedding and we can work with you on the various elements which may include:
Masseurs, makeup artists, hairstylists and manicurists
Music recommendations from a 2-piece cocktail ‘Nora Jones’ style music, traditional bands, string quartet, 4 piece dance bands, 6 piece soul bands, rat-pack, salsa, gypsy music and many more
DJs who can do a cool groove set or a late night dance or soul/reggae set
Cake designers
Florists
Photographers
Videographers
Milliners
Church and legal requirements including Cork & Kinsale priests, ministers, humanists, registrar or solemniser
Transfers and limousine hire
Our minimum requirement is 1 night if mid-week (Monday to Thursday) or 2 nights if you want to have either a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night. The number of people staying in the house must reflect the number at your wedding. For example, if you are having 80 people at your wedding, then all 22 bedrooms must be paid for. However, if your wedding party is very small (say 30 people), then you only pay for the number of people staying and we don't rent out the other rooms or charge you for them (this only applies to groups that are smaller than can be occupied in the 22 bedrooms).
A 12.5% service charge will be added to the final food and beverage bill to cover 2 on-site planning meetings, ceremony management, wedding planning time, advice on external suppliers, scheduling, contingency planning, event and time rundowns from the minute you arrive at the house right through to checkout, and recommendations by your dedicated wedding planner.
